If you want to bet on the Kentucky Derby and won’t be able to be there in person to watch the race, there are plenty of online racebooks you can place bets with and get paid very quickly if you win. To help you avoid dealing with less reputable sites, we have compiled a list of the best sites to use for your Kentucky Derby bets.
This is the best option when it comes to online betting because it is owned by Churchill Downs and you don’t have to worry about dealing with a company based in the Caribbean where anything can happen to your cash.
TwinSpires is very easy to use and you can deposit using your checking account or with a Visa or Mastercard. Payouts are made very quickly so you don’t have to worry about waiting a long time to get your winnings.
The only problem with TwinSpires is that they are only open to residents of states where horse racing gambling is legal.
Bovada is not based in the United States, but they are a reputable company that can be trusted. They offer bonuses for new accounts and also offer free bets sometimes, so you could end up betting on the Kentucky Derby for free.
Payouts are also quick with Bovada, and you have the option of the payment being sent by check, directly to your account, or even using bitcoins.
5Dimes is also another one of the reputable sites that allow all US residents to place wagers on the Kentucky Derby. Unlike Bovada, they don’t offer any deposit bonus or run free promotions, but they do offer many ways to bet on the Derby and payout within 24 hours, depending on the method you want to receive your money.
