New York is the topic of discussion right now following the recent legislative changes to online sportsbooks in the US. So now that operators have the green light to move into the state, they’re feeling the pressure to open their doors to crowds of new players.
If you’re wondering – when can I register with sportsbooks NYC and when is it legal? This page is for you.
The answer is right now! While sports betting itself has been a completely legal activity in New York since 2019, online sportsbooks were never available to residents of the Empire State. However, the rules and regulations surrounding online sportsbooks have recently changed. As of the 8th of January 2022, online betting fans can now place bets on their favourite sports teams and events, all from the comfort of their own home. That’s right, if you’re living in or simply passing through the state of New York, you now have the freedom to place bets through fully legal online sportsbooks.
At the time of writing, there are currently nine online sportsbooks that have earned the relevant licenses to operate legally in the Empire State. With New York being the home to a large crowd of sports betting fanatics, we certainly expect to see more big name sportsbooks launching soon. Each of the sportsbooks available now in New York is fully regulated and licensed by the official gaming commission in New York. Because of this, it’s 100% legal for these operators to provide sportsbooks to betting fans in the Empire State.
