New York online gambling bill introduced
Earlier this week, New York Senator Joe Addabbo introduced a bill that, if passed, would allow online gambling to licensed operators in New York.
Since the state opened online sports betting in January, it has become the biggest bookmaking market, surpassing Nevada and New Jersey.
Mr. Addabbo also seeks to expand wagering into stadiums, racetracks and arenas. Randy Levine, the New York Yankees president, last week expressed support for a betting kiosk at Yankee Stadium, following the lead of other professional sports franchises.
New York has not legalized online casino gaming. The New York State Legislature did not consider online casinos as part of the fiscal year 2022 budget negotiations. The legalization of online casinos in New York would likely require a constitutional amendment.
