FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky has moved one step closer to raising the legal age for sports betting.

A committee advanced the Wagering Consumer Protection Act to the House floor on Wednesday.

If approved, the measure would raise the minimum age for sports betting to 21.

A new bill could increase the sports betting age in Kentucky.

The proposal would also ban player prop bets involving student-athletes at Kentucky schools.

In addition, the bill would legalize fixed odds in horse racing, meaning the odds are locked in when you place a bet rather than changing at post time.
