Up to 27 online sports betting licenses are available with 9 confirmed, and of the Kentucky Sportsbooks licenses was issued to Fanatics Sportsbook. Fanatics is currently available in Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio and Tennessee and we expect Fanatics Sportsbook to enter the Kentucky market with a splash.

Kentucky sports betting will be able to launch September 28. Governor Andy Beshear signed HB 551 on March 28, 2023, allowing for up to 27 online sportsbooks, with three online licenses attributed to each of the nine race courses in the state. Fanatics was given such a license.
While we have a fixed date for sports betting to arrive in Kentucky and we expect Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky to launch close to the KY online betting launch date. Fanatics Sportsbook is now available in some other states and we are awaiting for it to start operating also in Kentucky after it secured a license by the KHRC.
A promo code, or bonus code, is a common way for online sportsbooks to offer customers exclusive promotions and special deals. You enter your promo code while signing up or depositing to access a deposit bonus, bonus credits, or odds boosts. Some online sportsbooks require you to enter a promo code to unlock your welcome bonus.
Promo code offers are used extensively when sports betting launches in a new state. We expect that when Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky launches, multiple promo code offers will be available.
Claiming a promo code with Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will be similar to what you do at other online sportsbooks. You will need to enter your promo code while signing up or during the deposit process. You may also need to make a minimum deposit or follow other conditions at the Fanatics Sportsbook website before you get your promo code rewards.
All promotions have terms and conditions to ensure you use them fairly, and any promo code offer at Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will be no different. We know that
As Fanatics Sportsbook hasn't launched in the US yet, we have to speculate about the bonus types that will be offered. Having said that, we believe that Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will be one of the best sports betting sites available at launch, and all of the top US sportsbooks offer the following bonus types.
The Fanatics Sportsbook welcome offer is being finalized, but we expect it to be big, given what we know about Fanatics. All of the best online sportsbooks in Kentucky will offer a generous welcome bonus giving you extra chances to profit from sports betting.
Bonus bets allow you to enjoy sports betting without using your own money. The best bonus bets will let you win and withdraw cash with your credits. We expect you to be able to claim bonus credit promos from the Fanatics Sportsbook website.
Odds boosts allow sports bettors to gain extra value and enhanced odds-on specific betting markets. Fanatics Sportsbooks will offer boosted odds on a wide range of sports, especially for its official betting partners, such as the NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB.
Fanatics are expected to offer odds boosts specifically for parlays and same game parlays. The more legs you add to your parlay bet, the more significant your boost will be. You won't need a promo code to claim these offers. Just check out the Fanatics Sportsbook website when it's live.
FanCash is the rewards program expected to be offered by Fanatics Sportsbook. You can earn FanCash through sports betting and use it to get merchandise from the Fanatics store at a discounted rate. This is expected to be one of the main draws of Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky.
Fanatics mobile app is only available in beta testing, so our team hasn't been able to try out the online sportsbook yet. However, given the significant funding behind Fanatics Sportsbook and the expert leadership team, including former FanDuel CEO Matt King, we expect the Fanatics Sportsbook app to be sleek, provide competitive odds, and offer a wide range of sports betting markets.
Live betting will be available on the Fanatics Sportsbook app. It is rumored that live streaming will also be available, but this will be confirmed closer to the Fanatics app launch date.
The welcome bonus offered by Fanatics is expected to be one of the most generous in Kentucky. We don't yet know if a Fanatics Sportsbook promo code will be required, but bookmark this page because we will list any promo code that Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky issues.
Ongoing bonuses will likely be available at Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky so the platform can compete with other top online sportsbooks. Expect to see odds boosts, bonus credits, and chances to win merchandise from your favorite sports teams.
Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will offer mobile betting to customers with a sports betting app for both iOS and Android devices. The Fanatics Sportsbook app is currently undergoing beta testing in Ohio and Tennessee with hopes that the Fanatics app will be also one of the Kentucky betting apps later in 2023.
Fanatics Sportsbook will offer a loyalty program called FanCash, which will differentiate Fanatics Sportsbook from other online sportsbooks. FanCash bridges the gap between sports betting and the traditional Fanatics business. When you place bets, you earn FanCash, which gives you a discount on buying sports merchandise from Fanatics.com. The everyday use of this loyalty program is expected to prove popular with US sports bettors.
We cannot confirm the complete list of banking options available for use with Fanatics Sportsbook until the sports betting app launches. Still, it is expected that all standard industry banking options will be available. Banking options will include debit and credit cards, online transfers, PayPal, Venmo, Play+, PayNearMe, and wire transfers.
We know that Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky launching will make waves, thanks to the large marketing budget promised by CEO Michael Rubin. When Fanatics launches, betting lines will be offered that cover all areas of the sports world. These will be the most popular sporting events to bet on.
The Kentucky Derby is the most famous horse race in the US, and Churchill Downs hosts this incredible spectacle. While Fanatics Sportsbook is expected to launch, there has yet to be any indication that Fanatics will launch a horse racing product alongside its sports betting site. So don't expect to see any horse racing odds.
The NFL is the most popular league for sports betting in the US, and Kentucky will be no exception. NFL loyalties in Kentucky are split between the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Cincinnati Bengals, so expect to see promotions and odds boosts for all three NFL teams. Expect to see boosted odds on the Washington Commanders as well, where Fanatics Sportsbook opened the first retail sportsbook in an NFL stadium.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the most popular NBA team in Kentucky, and Fanatics Sportsbook will offer moneylines, spreads, totals, and same game parlays. Watch out for odds boosts on Cavs gameday.
Fanatics Sportsbook is an official partner of one of Kentucky's most popular MLB teams, the Cleveland Guardians. Expect to see odds boosts for same game parlays on Guardians games when Fanatics Sportsbook goes live.
Fanatics Sportsbook CEO Michael Rubin has a long history with the NHL as a former part-owner of the New Jersey Devils. This stake was sold to enable Fanatics to move into the sports betting industry, and NHL fans in Kentucky can expect promotions for the preferred local team, the Nashville Predators.
It is difficult to overstate the popularity of college sports in Kentucky, and the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team is the most followed. Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will offer odds on the Wildcats and all other college teams. eSports betting is also legal in Kentucky, so keep an eye on whether Fanatics Sportsbook will offer sports betting on this new and exciting market.
While we haven't seen the Fanatics Sportsbook app yet, we do know the types of bets that will be available. The following list covers the most popular bet types that Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will provide.
We expect Fanatics Sportsbook to immediately become one of KY's top sports betting sites when it launches. Our experts believe that bet365 and WynnBET will be two of the main competitors of Fanatics Sportsbook.
bet365 offers customers a very generous sign up bonus, where you can Bet $5 and Get $200 in bonus bet credits. WynnBET provides a similar bonus where you can bet $100 and get $100. Fanatics Sportsbook will have an offer comparable with bet365, giving great value to new customers.
The desktop platform is one area we expect Fanatics Sportsbook to excel against WynnBET and bet365. The Fanatics Sportsbook website will be newly designed, while the website offerings from WynnBET and bet365 now look dated. All three sportsbooks will offer an excellent sports betting app.
In addition, Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky will have a dedicated loyalty program, which you won't find at WynnBET or bet365.
When sports betting does launch in Kentucky, all three will be great options if you are looking for new online sportsbooks.
All sports betting winnings are subject to Kentucky Taxes. All gambling winnings must be declared to the IRS, and you must complete a W-2G form if you win over $600. State taxes on gambling winnings are also payable at a flat rate of 5%.
We haven't seen the Fanatics Sportsbook app yet, but we know that Fanatics will offer responsible gambling tools to comply with legal sports betting requirements. Tools on offer will include deposit limits, bet limits, time limits, and time outs. Fanatics Sportsbook will also be included in the state-wide self-exclusion program the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission runs.
We are highly anticipating the launch of Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky. The combination of the huge marketing budget behind the brand, the expertise of the management team, and the exciting FanCash rewards program mean that Fanatics Sportsbook will bring something different and exciting to Kentucky.
Whether Fanatics Sportsbook Kentucky can compete with the best US sportsbooks remains to be seen, but from what we've seen, the sportsbook looks very exciting.
