Kentucky Senate approves bill raising sports betting age to 21
The Kentucky Senate has approved House Bill 904, which would raise the minimum age for sports betting from 18 to 21 and restrict proposition bets involving college athletes. The bill would also legalise fantasy sports wagering under the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation and bar sportsbook operators from operating prediction markets in the state; it now goes to Governor Andy Beshear.
If enacted, the bill would change operator obligations and eligibility rules for several betting products in Kentucky.
