Who regulates gambling in Kansas?
The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission oversees the state-owned casinos and pari-mutuel racetracks. The Kansas Lottery owns and operates the casinos.

We found no Kansas law that names sweepstakes casinos, and a tracker shows no state enforcement. That is not a finding that they are legal.
