Can I obtain a fantasy sports license in Kentucky? What are the requirements?

Fantasy Sports License in Kentucky

To the best of our knowledge, there is no specific requirement for obtaining a fantasy sports license in Kentucky. However, it is important to note that Kentucky law requires licenses for certain activities related to horse racing and gambling.

According to ^[2.1], no person shall hold or conduct any horse race meeting for any stake, purse, or reward within the Commonwealth of Kentucky without securing the required license from the racing commission. The racing commission shall investigate the qualifications of each applicant for a license to conduct a horse race meeting or the renewal of a license to conduct a horse race meeting.

Additionally, ^[2.3] states that every person who desires to participate in horse racing in the Commonwealth as a horse owner, trainer, jockey, apprentice jockey, agent, stable employee, racing official, association employee, or employee of a person or concern contracting with the association to provide a service or commodity and which requires their presence on association grounds during a race meeting, or veterinarian, farrier, horse dentist, or supplier of food, tack, medication, or horse feed, or in any other capacity as the racing commission shall from time to time establish by administrative regulation, shall first apply to the racing commission for a license to participate in the activity on association grounds during a race meeting.

Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to determine if a license is required for your specific fantasy sports activity.
