As of my last update in early 2023, sports betting is legal in New York, but the specific regulations and options can vary. Here’s a general overview:
In January 2022, New York began allowing mobile sports betting after the state legislature passed a law in 2021. This allowed residents and visitors to bet on sports through mobile apps operated by various licensed sportsbooks. The New York State Gaming Commission oversees the sports betting industry in the state.
Mobile sports betting in New York is available through a number of operators, including but not limited to:
– DraftKings
– FanDuel
– BetMGM
– BetRivers
– PointsBet
– William Hill
– WynnBet
Land-based sports betting has also been available at certain upstate casinos and at the racetracks in New York for several years prior to the launch of mobile betting.
It’s important to note that the legal age for sports betting in New York is 21 years old. Additionally, the laws and regulations regarding sports betting can change, so it’s always a good idea to check the latest information from official sources or legal counsel before engaging in sports betting.
Please remember that the information provided here may not be current, and you should verify the status of sports betting laws and regulations in New York through official channels or legal advice.
