Kentucky House advances bill to raise sports betting age to 21
The Kentucky House of Representatives approved a bill to raise the sports betting age to 21 and prohibit certain collegiate athlete proposition bets, voting 79-15. The proposal would also require daily fantasy sports licences, permit fixed-odds betting at horse tracks and bar local gambling businesses from operating prediction markets; it still requires Senate approval.
The proposal could change eligibility, product permissions and licensing obligations for Kentucky gambling businesses.
