This bill would update Kentucky's sports wagering laws in two main ways: it would restrict when betting platforms can limit a customer's deposits or wagers, requiring them to notify customers and offer an appeals process if limits are imposed, and it would raise the minimum age to participate in sports wagering from 18 to 21.
