Kentucky has given the go ahead to allow sports betting in the state and eight top-branded sportsbooks, including FanDuel, have been given licenses so far. So now the big question is: when will FanDuel be legal in Kentucky?
The good news is that FanDuel will go live in the Bluegrass state on 28 September 2023, but there’s plenty to discover ahead of that date, including details of a generous pre-launch offer which includes $100 in bonus bets.

FanDuel is a well-known name in the sports betting world and is already the go-to platform for other US states where it has already been in operation for some time. Kentucky residents have so far not had a chance to access it, but their wait is almost over.
