As of Monday August 28, several Kentucky betting apps have opened up their early sign-up periods.

What this means is that Kentucky residents can begin creating accounts with some of the best KY sportsbooks and betting sites. They can also claim some exclusive pre-reg bonuses and awards.

With accounts being created and bonuses being awarded, this has created some confusion when it comes to the state of Kentucky sports betting at the moment. With sports like MLB and college football taking place this weekend, people want to know if they can actually bet on sports or not in Kentucky.

Can I Bet on Sports Online in Kentucky?

While you can currently pre-register with several Kentucky betting apps, this unfortunately does not mean that online sports betting is open in KY quite yet.

Kentucky online sports betting is not set to open until September 28, 2023.

In the meantime, the best way to prepare for the upcoming launch of Kentucky sports betting is by signing up early with some of the betting apps found in the banner above. Each of these KY sportsbooks are offering exclusive pre-registration bonuses that will only be available to those who sign up over the coming weeks.

Once we reach Sept. 28 and online sports betting officially goes live in the Bluegrass State, then you’ll be able to place as many sports bets as your heart desires.

Can You Bet on Sports on an App in Kentucky?

Another common question that is being asked in light of Kentucky pre-registration being open is whether or not you’ll be able to bet on sports using an app in KY.

With so much of our daily lives taking place on our phones these days, betting on sports through an app just makes sense.

To answer that question, yes, you will be able to bet on sports online using an app in Kentucky. Several sports betting apps will be available for download on September 28, including DraftKings, FanDuel, Bet365, and others.

Downloading any number of these KY betting apps is a great way to make sports betting that much easier in the Bluegrass State.
