began on September 7 at brick-and-mortar racing and gaming facilities. Online sports betting sites will officially join the mix on the morning of September 28, although residents can already pre-register and deposit with operators.
In other words, when online sportsbooks began accepting action in Kentucky next week, bettors 18 and older could get a wager down on the Grand Final of the National Rugby League. That may depend on which sports betting site you use, however, as certain operators, such as Caesars Sportsbook, will only take wagers from those 21 and older as they do in other states.
Gov. Andy Beshear appointed members of the council in August, and the body, as its name suggests, is there to advise the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission about sports betting. And, on Thursday, the council got a bit of insight into the age restrictions in the state for bettable leagues and events, which could be a concern for sports such as tennis.

That is permissible for sports wagering in Kentucky.”to never miss a story.
