Kentucky lawmakers overrode Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of a sports betting bill that changes the legal wagering age to 21.
House Bill 904 was one of several pieces of legislation that the Bluegrass State’s General Assembly passed by a majority vote on Tuesday, despite Beshear rejecting the sports betting reform. The Kentucky sports betting age was raised from 18, which had matched the horse racing requirement when sportsbooks were legalized in 2023.
