Kentucky Approves Sports Betting Regulations, Launch Set for September

Kentucky has approved new regulations for sports betting, allowing brick-and-mortar sports books to start taking wagers on September 7 and online bets on September 28. The state tied sports wagering to its horse racing industry, and all 11 horse racing facilities can now apply for a retail sports book license. A total of 14 retail sports books could be operating in the state, with Churchill Downs and FanDuel already announcing their partnership. The initial license fee is $500,000, with a $50,000 renewal fee. The projected yearly revenue from sports betting is $23 million, and online betting will start two weeks after retail wagering to fine-tune regulations and address challenges.

DraftKings' Q1 Revenue and Guidance Raise Propel Stock Soaring

DraftKings reported a Q1 loss of $397.1 million, or 87 cents a share, but revenue increased to $769.7 million from $417 million in the same quarter last year, beating Wall Street's expectations. The company's executives increased their forecast for 2023 revenue to a range of $3.14 billion to $3.24 billion, after previously stating $2.85 billion to $3.05 billion. DraftKings has focused on profitability in recent quarters, taming promotional material as several states that legalized sports gambling in recent years grew into more mature markets and fewer states come online.

Kentucky and North Carolina Take Opposite Stances on Sports Betting

Kentucky has become the 37th state to legalize sports wagering after the Senate passed House Bill 551, which Governor Andy Beshear has pledged to sign. The bill allows betting on games at the state's nine horse tracks and casino-style historical horse racing venues, but not at other physical locations. The bill mandates that even online- and app-based wagering platforms like FanDuel and Draft Kings have agreements with a horse track to get a license. The measure is expected to generate about $22 million annually in tax revenue for the state.
