In a letter to all leagues participating in sports wagering in New York, a state regulatory body said, “If our review requires the outright elimination of certain bets, the Gaming Commission will use its regulatory authority to prohibit them.”

In New York, unlike many jurisdictions, the Gaming Commission, not operators, controls the wagering menu and limits the sports and leagues accepted for sports wagering.

In fact, most of the specific proposition wagers that a league found problematic were already prohibited in New York State.

To ensure the integrity of sports wagering in New York State, the Gaming Commission has been and will continue to be very conservative with the approval of leagues and types of wagers authorized to provide confidence to bettors.

New York State stands ready to further discuss the matter and assist in any way to ensure wager and game integrity.
