Since bill HB 511 was passed, sports bettors have been waiting to find out which sportsbooks will be going live on September 28th, 2023. With this in mind, we wasted no time finding out whether Fanatics is legal in Kentucky.

Fanatics is a relative newcomer to the sports betting scene, after making its name as a sports merchandising brand. However, that hasn’t stopped the up-and-coming online sports betting platform in securing a partnership with Oak Grove Racetrack and obtaining relevant licensing from the KHRC.

Is Fanatics legal in KY?

For most, we suspect that Fanatics is a name that you’d associate with sports merchandise, rather than sports betting. However, Fanatics has expanded on its offering, and has already made a splash in other US state sports betting markets.

Thanks to the passing of bill HB 511, sports betting has been legalized in the Bluegrass State. Retail sportsbooks have already proved a popular choice for many; however, the launch of mobile betting is set for September 28th, 2023.

After securing partnership with Oak Grove Racetrack, and a legitimate license from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, we can confirm that Fanatics is legal in Kentucky. However, you can’t make use of the sportsbook just yet.

Can you bet on Fanatics in Kentucky yet?

The official launch of mobile betting in Kentucky is September 28th, 2023. Although we are aware that Fanatics has secured sufficient licensing and a retail partnership, no further details have been confirmed.

We would suspect that the same great Fanatics sportsbook bonus bet, intuitive app design, live streaming, and live betting features would transfer across to Kentucky. However, we will aim to confirm all of the specifics nearer the release date.

Launch pending: Fanatics is legal in KY

Although we may not know a great deal about what Fanatics has in store for the Kentucky sports betting community, we do know that they have secured a legitimate license and a retail partnership with Oak Grove Racetrack. Plus, based on the Fanatics offering found in other US states, we would anticipate an immersive, exciting, and safe experience awaits the bettors of Bluegrass State.
