Sports betting is getting closer to taking effect in Kentucky as Kentuckians who want to use one of several online betting platforms can go ahead and register their account.
Wagering on live sporting events was approved by Kentucky lawmakers and signed by the Governor earlier this year.
Mobile device betting starts on September 28, and in-person betting will begin on September 7.
The Red Mile in Lexington is putting the finishing touches on the sports book facility. People will be able to bet on numerous games from pro to college teams, and it comes just as football season is starting.
Besides the Red Mile, you can also visit The Mint in Williamsburg and Corbin and Churchill Downs in Louisville. Other places can be found in Newport and Florence.
Lawmakers approved a tax on wagers, and Kentucky is expected to receive $23 million in additional revenue from the practice.
