betadminAs of my last update in early 2023, sports betting in New York is legal and operational. In 2019, the state legislature passed a bill to allow sports betting following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, which struck down a federal law prohibiting sports betting in most states.
In New York, sports betting is available both online and in person at certain retail locations, such as casinos and racetracks. The New York State Gaming Commission oversees the regulation of sports betting in the state.
Online sports betting in New York began with a pilot program that initially included a few operators. The state has since expanded the number of mobile sports betting operators. Residents and visitors can download apps from these operators to bet on sports from their mobile devices.
It’s important to note that the legal landscape can change, and there may be specific rules and regulations regarding who can bet, how much they can bet, and the types of sports they can bet on. Always ensure that you are using a licensed and regulated platform when engaging in sports betting in New York.
For the most current information, you should check the latest news or the official website of the New York State Gaming Commission.
