You can bet on the Kentucky Derby from Arizona at BetOnline.ag, one of the few online websites that permit wagering on the biggest horse race of the year.

TwinSpires.com and other well known US-based online race sites will not permit gamblers from the Grand Canyon State.  

BetOnline.ag claims to take wagers from every state including those that explicitly prohibit online gambling like Washington State and Utah.  Gamblers in Washington State especially may be taking a risk in doing so since Internet gambling is a Class C felony there. Go figure.  It’s the only state where betting on the Internet gets the same punishment as a child molester. 

North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Texas and a whole host of other states don’t have laws that crack down on internet gamblers.  They simply have policies in place prohibiting US-licensed horse racing sites from taking bets in those state.  BetOnline gets around this with an international license.
