“With the sports wagering catalog, bettors can start planning their bets,” said Public Protection Cabinet Secretary and Sports Wagering Advisory Council member Ray Perry.

According to the governor’s office, the new law is expected to help increase Kentucky’s revenue by $23 million every year once it is fully implemented. Right now, the state is using a “tiered” plan to make sure they can still work out the logistics before it betting is fully underway.
