Online sports betting sites are catching on in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission’s director of sports wagering, Hans Stokke, said Tuesday during the regulator’s monthly meeting that they are still awaiting the final audited numbers for the first full month of betting.
Stokke, however, did come bearing some high-level figures about Kentucky sports betting since its launch, such as seven licensees and 10 brick-and-mortar properties handling more than $15 million in in-person wagers since Sept. 7. “The KHRC is pleased to deliver a sports wagering experience to Kentuckians on time, as promised, in a regulated and responsible context.”
The director added that seven online sports betting sites have launched since Sept. 28, and that, as of Monday, more than $310 million has been wagered with those operators.
