NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- FanDuel, North America's premier online gaming company, is now available across Kentucky. Mobile sports betting will open at 6 a.m. ET, and sports fans in Kentucky can download the FanDuel Sportsbook app for iOS and Android or play via desktop.

FanDuel is bringing its best-in-class platform and betting offerings, including on NFL, college football, NBA and college basketball, MLB, MMA, golf, boxing, soccer, hockey, and much more. Kentucky customers who sign up and wager $5 will receive $200 in Bonus Bets and can access special offers on local sports teams.

FanDuel was the first, and is still the only, U.S. sportsbook to allow customers to access both parimutuel wagering on horse racing and traditional sportsbook wagering with a single account and wallet, giving Kentucky residents the opportunity to bet on all their favorite local sports, from horse racing to college basketball, all through the same account. Racing fans will be able to find bet options for races around the globe, including Churchill Downs, in just a few taps when they open the FanDuel app and then click the horse racing icon.

"We can't wait to bring sports fans across the Bluegrass State even closer to their favorite leagues and teams with our leading Sportsbook product and offerings," said FanDuel's President Christian Genetski. "FanDuel has established a significant legacy among sports fans in Kentucky through partnerships with Kentucky mainstay Churchill Downs and the Cincinnati Reds right over the border. With our brand's history and dedication to the sport of horse racing and our focus on providing our users with the best possible sports wagering experience, we feel uniquely equipped to serve the passionate sports fans of Kentucky."

"Horse racing is not just my life's work, it's my passion," said Todd Schrupp, host of FanDuel TV. "Through this passion the Commonwealth of Kentucky has become a very special place to me. I'm immensely proud to work for FanDuel TV, which has put more resources than anyone else into promoting not just horse racing, but a place like Kentucky that is the epicenter of the sport. Now that FanDuel can offer its industry leading product to some of the most loyal and passionate fans in the country, Kentuckians will have the chance to responsibly wager using their same account and wallet on both sports and horse racing, something only offered by FanDuel."

The FanDuel Sportsbook app is simple, secure, and convenient with a number of key features, including:

• Single account sports and horse racing betting: FanDuel is the only U.S. sportsbook to allow customers to access both parimutuel wagering on horse racing and traditional sportsbook wagering with a single account.
