Common Questions in Kentucky
Clearing out Kentuckian questions about sportsbooks, gambling law, taxes & more.
Are online sportsbooks legal in Kentucky?
Yes siree Bob. Sports betting, including online sportsbooks, were legalized in Kentucky state back in 2023. But it's not just a free-for-all. Sportsbook companies still need to apply for a state license, which then has to be approved by the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation. Not just anyone is allowed in.
Is all online gambling legal in Kentucky?
Nope.
Online sportsbooks, social sportsbooks, daily fantasy sports and pick'em are all legal in Kentucky. Online casinos and poker sites are still prohibited. Prediction markets operate in a grey area of the law. They are not prohibited yet, but might be in the future.
Do I need a promo code to claim a betting bonus?
Sometimes, but not always. Some sportsbooks, like Caesars, always use a bonus code (currently BB250BM), but some never use them. Others use codes for special promotions but not for their regular sign-up bonuses. If a bonus requires a code, you can always find it in the sportsbook T&C's on our page.
What's the legal gambling age in Kentucky?
The legal gambling age in Kentucky is 18+, in contrast to most other states that require 21. This goes for both online variants like sportsbooks, DFS and prediction markets, but also the lottery, bingo, horse racing and the like. A few operators have decided to up the age requirement to 21+ in order to promote a more responsible gambling culture, but it's 18 at most of them.
Who regulates gambling in Kentucky?
There are three main gambling regulators in Kentucky. Most traditional forms of gambling, including at online sportsbooks, is regulated by the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation, or KHRGC.
We also have the Kentucky Department of Charitable Gaming and the Kentucky Lottery Corporation, who are in charge of other "milder" forms of gambling.
Do I have to pay tax on gambling winnings in KY?
Unfortunately, you do! Gambling winnings in Kentucky are subjected to both state and federal taxes, in both cases counting as regular old income tax. This goes for both state residents and stray gamblers just passing through. The state tax lands around 4% of your winnings, and the IRS wants 24% of the cake. The federal tax is sometimes withheld by the sportsbook at the time of payout, by request of the U.S. government.
