As of my last update in early 2023, online sports betting is legal in New York. The state legalized mobile sports betting in April 2021, and the first online sportsbooks began operating in January 2022.
The New York State Gaming Commission oversees the regulation of sports betting in the state, and a number of operators have been granted licenses to offer online sports betting services. Residents and visitors aged 21 and older can bet on professional sports through these licensed platforms.
It’s important to note that the legal landscape can change, and there may be specific rules and restrictions regarding online betting in New York. For example, online horse racing betting and daily fantasy sports are also legal, but online casino games are not.
For the most current information and to ensure that you are participating in legal online betting, you should check the latest regulations from the New York State Gaming Commission or consult with a legal expert. Always use licensed and regulated platforms to engage in online betting to ensure the activity is legal and to protect yourself against potential fraud or非法 activities.
