Kentucky Lawmakers File Legislation To Allow Sports Betting

Sports betting could make its way to Kentucky as soon as next summer

Kentucky lawmakers have officially filed legislation to implement sports betting in the commonwealth.

The legislative efforts will be aimed toward allowing betting on professional sports and possibly some college sports, while banning wagering on high school level sports.

Every state in the U.S. is eligible to implement sports betting after the U.S. Supreme Court decided to allow sports betting back in mid-May.

If the sports gaming bill is passed, Kentucky residents could start betting on sports as early as next summer.
