Kentucky Sportsbooks Offer Promos as Pre-Registration Opens

Since Monday, Aug. 28, Kentucky sports bettors are able to pre-register with any of the eight online operators that have been licensed to launch in the Commonwealth on Sept. 28.

That means Kentuckians from Paducah to Pikeville who open a sportsbook account can receive online sportsbook promotions and bonuses ahead of the state’s official online sports betting launch next month. And there’s no reason to sign up with just one operator.

By signing up with different sportsbook apps, Kentucky bettors can receive multiple competitive signup offers – and even different odds – that they will be able to access once online sports betting launches in the Bluegrass State at 6 a.m. ET on Sept. 28.
