July 16, 2019 was a big day for New York as an upstate casino accepted the first legal state-regulated sports bets.

In a spectacular launch, politicians and athletes gathered at the Rivers Casino in Schenectady. The city’s Mayor Gary McCarthy placed the first bet.

The inauguration of legal sports betting came about just over a year after the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA). PASPA prevented states from passing their own laws to allow legal sports betting. In May 2018, the court ruled that it was unconstitutional, paving the way for New York and other states to pass their own legislation.

New York actually passed its sports betting legislation five years ago. A 2013 referendum question opened the way for the construction of new casinos and for legal sports betting. The casinos opened, but sports betting remained off the menu until the Supreme Court ruling shifted the tides.

Sports betting legalized in New York, with limitations

The delay of over a year between decision and sports betting launch was mainly political. Various attempts to get specific sports betting legislation through the legislature stalled out.

Finally in January, the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) approved regulations to allow sports betting to take place.

Those regulations restricted sports betting to the four Upstate casinos plus the state’s tribal casinos. No online or mobile sports betting is allowed per the regulations.

The last attempt to legislate for a more up-to-date legal framework failed in June. State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr managed to get his S17-D bill through the Senate by a vote of 57-5. Unfortunately, Governor Andrew Cuomo did not support it, and even though the votes were probably there in the Assembly, it was not put to a vote.

Where can I make legal sports bets in New York?

Current legislation restricts sports betting to the four licensed Upstate casinos plus tribal casinos. There are seven casinos with sports betting in operation at present. One more will follow in the fall and three others are likely to enter the market in the near term.
