Age for placing horse bets?

Question

How old do you have to be to place bets at a horse track? I am thinking it is 18, but Im not sure. I specifically want to bet at Lone Star Park in Grand Prarie, Tx. I went to their website to see if there was some information, but I couldnt find anything (which I thought was strange)! I dont think there were any similar questions that I could find. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

At Lone Star the age is 21. I think you can wager at Winstar casino in Oklahoma (not too far) at their OTB.

Answer 2

Either 18 or 21, depending on the state where you are. Minors are not allowed to gamble in most states- that is considered an adult activity, and youngsters can be fined or punished in other ways if they are caught at it. Call the office of the individual track before going to it if you have doubts.

Answer 3

Differs from state to state. In Canada its 19. In NJ its 21

Answer 4

The best way to find out is to give them a call.

Answer 5

It probably depends on the state, but I used to go to the Garden State race Track here in NJ when I was 18.
