Kentucky Sports Wagering Catalog: Complete List of Legal Sports Betting Options in KY

This page contains a comprehensive list of the legal sports betting options available in Kentucky. It corresponds directly with the information provided in the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission’s Kentucky Sports Wagering Catalog. With retail Kentucky sports betting having launched on September 7th, 2023, and Kentucky sports betting sites slated to arrive on September 28th, 2023, the KHRC has presented Kentucky residents with a diverse range of wagering options.

Kentucky Sports Betting Catalog Background

In recent years, sports betting has witnessed significant growth across the United States. Recognizing this surge in demand, the Kentucky Sports Wagering Advisory Council convened an extensive meeting on August 31, 2023. During this meeting, Hans Stokke, the Director of Sports Wagering at the KHRC, advocated for a structured approach to regulate sports betting within the state.

As mandated by KRS 230.808, the KHRC is responsible for establishing standards for sports betting. As further outlined in 809 KAR 10:002 Section 2, only sports approved by the racing commission can be made available for wagering.

After thorough deliberation and careful consideration of input from licensed entities, the KHRC has officially unveiled its "Wagering Catalog," which is provided below.
