In addition to the Caesars Sportsbook app, Caesars previously announced plans for a retail sportsbook at Red Mile Gaming & Racing in Lexington, which is set to open and accept its first sports bets on Thursday, Sept. 7. The Company’s partnerships with both Red Mile and Keeneland further reinforce Caesars’ commitment to horse racing and the continuous expansion of the Caesars Racebook app, which is live in 17 states, including Kentucky.

When sports betting launches in the Bluegrass State, Kentucky sports fans can enjoy mobile sports betting tied to unmatched rewards via the industry-leading customer loyalty program, Caesars Rewards. Every wager placed in-person or via the Caesars Sportsbook mobile app earns Tier Credits that contribute to status and Reward Credits that can result in extraordinary Caesars Rewards experiences, discounted getaways at various Caesars destinations across the United States, bonus cash in the Caesars Sportsbook app, and world-class culinary experiences.

Caesars is an industry leader in responsible gaming and continues to emphasize responsible gaming education as Caesars Sportsbook and Caesars Racebook launch in new states. Earlier this year, the Company implemented an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that limits Caesars Rewards® accounts to individuals 21 and older, where allowed by law, and limits all domestic gaming, pari-mutuel, sports, and iGaming options to those 21 and older. This 21 and older policy will apply to all sports wagering operations conducted by Caesars Sportsbook in Kentucky.
