Kentucky has officially enacted HB 904, also known as the “Wagering Consumer Protection Act,” bringing major changes to gambling laws across the state.

Key updates include raising the legal sports betting age to 21, banning certain prop bets involving Kentucky college athletes, and increasing oversight of fantasy sports and wagering platforms.

While these changes aim to strengthen consumer protections, increased access to gambling can also increase risk.

Problem gambling is a real and growing public health issue that can impact mental health, finances, relationships, and recovery.

Awareness matters. Early support saves lives.
