Legal Sports Betting in New York In 2013, long before the current sports betting expansion, New York passed the New York Gaming Economic Development Act. The law authorized the development of four casinos, each of which would be allowed to conduct sports betting – subject to it being legal under federal law.

After New Jersey's Supreme Court victory in May 2018, any state that wishes can legalize sports betting.

At the same time various state lawmakers are considering sports betting legislation, Congress is too. Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and now-retired Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, co-introduced comprehensive sports betting legislation at the end of 2018. On Sept. 27, 2018 the House Judiciary Committee held a formal hearing on the topic.

The dual track of proposals -- state and federal -- have increased in frequency since the start of 2017.

To measure the change in the landscape, we ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of how likely it is for each jurisdiction to offer full-scale legal sports betting. A brief synopsis for the active states is included, with updates to follow.

Already there

1. Nevada

No longer the only state to permit a wide variety of legal sports betting, Nevada is a mature market that has existed for decades. Given its long history in successfully offering regulated sports wagering, many states might look to Nevada for best practices.

Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 223
Population: 3,034,392 (2,246,259 21+)

2. Delaware

On June 5, 2018, Delaware moved to offer single-game betting on a number of different sports at three casinos in the state. Expanded sports wagering options could take place at additional locations or online. Delaware's authorization of what Gov. John Carney described as 'a full-scale sports gaming operation' happened less than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal law restricting single-game betting to Nevada was unconstitutional.

Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 3

Although New Mexico has not passed any new sports betting legislation since the Supreme Court's decision, the move by the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel was made via a gaming compact with the state. According to Nedra Darling, spokeswoman at the Department of the Interior's Office of Indian Affairs -- the federal agency in Washington, DC that oversees tribal gaming compacts -- the New Mexico compacts permit 'any or all forms of Class III Gaming,' a category in the federal regulations that specifically includes '[a]ny sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering.'

Population: 2,095,428 (1,529,540 21+)

7. Pennsylvania

The Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course booked the first legal sports bets in Pennsylvania in mid-November 2018. The move came just over a year after Gov. Tom Wolf signed a new sports betting bill as part of a broad legislation push that included online poker and DFS. The October 2017 bill became effective after the Supreme Court's May 2018 ruling upending the federal ban on single-game betting outside of Nevada.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 12
Population: 12,807,060 (9,645,705 21+)

The Twin River Casino in Lincoln opened its doors for legal sports betting on Nov. 26, 2018. The move came five months after Gov.

On July 16, 2019, the first legal sports bets were placed in New York. J. Gary Pretlow -- a New York lawmaker and chair of the state's racing and wagering committee -- was among the first to place a wager at the Rivers Casino in Schenectady. The opening of a legal sportsbook came six years after New York passed a law to allow sports betting at four on-site locations, all in upstate New York.

The move came three months after Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into a law a comprehensive bill to legalize sports betting in the Hawkeye State. Operators must pay a $45,000 licensing fee and there is a 6.75 percent tax on revenue. The new law permits mobile wagering. Betting on college sports is permitted, but certain kinds of in-game prop bets involving college games are banned.

12. Oregon

Legal sports betting returned to Oregon on Aug. 27 after a long hiatus, with the first bets booked on-site at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. Oregon is one of a small number of states that already had a law on the books permitting some forms of sports betting, so the resumption of wagering did not require the legislature to pass any new law or have the governor amend an existing tribal-state compact. In mid-October, mobile sports betting arrived in Oregon too, with the state-run lottery overseeing the launch of a new website and app.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile

21. North Carolina

On July 26, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper signed into a law a bill to 'allow sports and horse race wagering on tribal lands,' with such betting designated as a 'Class III' gaming activity under the state compact. The new law permits betting on both college and professional sports, but all bettors must place their wagers in-person at one of two retail locations.

22. Washington

Governor Jay Inslee signed Washington's sports betting bill into law on March 25, 2020. The new law permits sports wagering at Class III tribal casinos in the state. Mobile sports wagering is not allowed statewide, but is permitted when on-site at a licensed tribal casino. Betting on an 'esports competition or event' is allowed, but the new law bans wagering on games involving in-state colleges or minor league professional events. The new bill delegates regulatory oversight to the Washington State Gambling Commission.

23. Virginia

After some back-and-forth between Governor Ralph Northam and the legislature, legalized sports wagering was approved in the Commonwealth of Virginia in April 2020. Online betting is allowed, but wagering is not permitted on Virginia-based college sports or certain youth sports.

24. Maryland

In November 2020, Maryland voters approved 'sports and events betting for the primary purpose of raising revenue for education' by about a 2-1 margin. A regulatory framework must be created by Maryland lawmakers before any sports wagering takes place. The Maryland referendum would potentially allow for both in-person and mobile sports betting throughout the state.

25. South Dakota

On November 3, 2020, voters in South Dakota approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering in Deadwood.' Other tribal locations in South Dakota could see the arrival of regulated sports betting too. State lawmakers must now establish a regulatory apparatus and tax rate for legalized sports wagering.

26. Louisiana

In November 2020, voters in the vast majority of Louisiana's 64 parishes approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering activities and operations.' As a result, regulated sports wagering could come to New Orleans and certain other cities as early as 2021. Lawmakers will be tasked with setting up a regulatory scheme during an upcoming state legislative session.

Moving toward legalization

All of these states have seen some degree of legislative activity towards the legalization of sports betting the past few years.

27. Oklahoma

In April 2020, two federally-recognized tribes reached agreement with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on new gaming compacts that include sports betting. On June 8, 2020, Governor Stitt announced that the Department of the Interior had approved the compacts, paving the way for sports betting to start in Oklahoma as soon as the 'compacts are published in the Federal Register.' A bipartisan group of state lawmakers, along with Oklahoma's attorney general, have expressed opposition to the expansion of sports betting in Oklahoma and the prospect of legalized sports wagering remains uncertain.

28. Maine

On the last day of the state's 2019 legislative session -- June 19 -- Maine lawmakers passed 'An Act to Ensure Proper Oversight of Sports Betting in the State.' Shortly thereafter, the governor vetoed the bill. The legislature could re-introduce the bill later.

29. Nebraska

On November 3, 2020, Nebraska voters approved certain amendments to its state constitution legalizing 'all games of chance.' If the new constitutional amendments are construed to include wagering on sporting events, legalized sports betting could arrive in Nebraska upon the establishment of certain regulations.

49-50. Idaho and Wisconsin

Unlikely

51. Utah

Utah's anti-gambling stance is written into the state's constitution. Any change to existing state policy toward gambling would be a massive departure from decades of opposition to any form of gambling, including lottery tickets, table games and sports betting.

NY residents are able to bet on sports online however it has to be through an offshore betting site. New York legislators have prohibited their in-state sportsbooks from regulating online sports betting. Therefore, sports bettors who wish to wager online in New York will be left with the online books as a betting option, as these books are legal in every state. Pro online betting officials in New York have begun campaigning to get online sports betting regulated in the Empire State, siting the losses of potential revenue to New Jersey as a key reason they should legalize it. NY legislators have yet to budge, however, as there are currently no plans to bring online sports betting to New York.

What some NY residents do, however, is travel across the bridge to New Jersey in order to participate in mobile and online sports betting. New Jersey’s Atlantic City has proven to be one of the capitals of sports betting in the US, and its regulation of mobile betting has garnered revenue from even NY residents. With the proximity of these two states, it takes no time for New Yorkers to travel back and forth, making sports betting in NJ a viable option. However, the options of betting lines at these books and travel requirements take away from a bettor's bottom line, making the online sites located overseas the best option.

Sportsbooks offer patrons promotions and bonuses. These bonuses can range from a percentage match on a deposit to a free bet. With this, you can wager more as you now have more funds available to you than originally intended, leading to bigger possible payouts. Most online sportsbooks offer a welcome bonus, which will match your first deposit sometimes up to 100%. These values range from $100-$1,000, giving free money to users just for making an account. Through bonuses and promotions, sports bettors will also find benefits from different payment methods. There are bonuses available for simply using cryptocurrencies. This is just another example of how much sports bettors can gain from online sports betting.

New York lawmakers have prohibited regulated online sports betting. This means that sportsbooks stationed in NY are not allowed to tax or benefit from online sports betting. This, however, does not mean online sports betting is against the law within NY. In fact, other online books are very much allowed within the Empire State, and sports bettors are able to legally make accounts and wager on their favorite sports from these betting sites. Sites like BetOnline.ag and SportsBetting.ag all offer betting lines and odds legally online for NY residents.

The reason these sites are allowed in NY is that they are not stationed in the US and therefore are not restricted by US regulation. Regardless of NY's stance on online sports betting, unless they specifically put in their law to outlaw a specific site, then it is legal to indulge in online and mobile sports betting. These sites offer the same if not better betting lines and wager options that the land-based operators host. With online sports betting, NY residents can get the best betting experience without having to travel, making for the most convenient sports betting experience available.

Land-based sports betting in New York has been legal in New York since 2013, five years prior to the repeal of PASPA. NY officially launched sportsbooks in their major casinos in 2019 and now residents can participate in sports betting at these locales. Online sports betting as still not been regulated within the state, despite a major push from pro online betting officials. New York currently prohibits online betting being regulated by any betting operator within the state. NY residents who wish to participate in online and mobile sports betting are in luck however as offshore sportsbooks are available for all citizens of the Empire State.

Currently, NY has no plan of regulating online sports betting, meaning for the foreseeable future offshore sportsbooks will be the only way for NY residents to wager from home or anywhere else in the city. Because of this, sports betting in NY may never gain the momentum that their neighboring state of New Jersey has garnered, however, sports betting within the state is still readily available to any New Yorker no matter how they will to wager.

There are a number of land-based sports betting operators available to NY residents and tourists alike that offer some of the best betting lines available.

Are Real Money Gambling Sites Legit? Can I Win Money?

Yes, real money gambling websites are completely legitimate, and if you couldn’t win money, they’d hardly be worth writing about. Odds and payouts will vary based on which forms of gambling you prefer, but as long as you choose a reputable website, legitimacy shouldn’t be a concern.

How Much Money Can I Win?

That depends on how much you wager and what type of gambling you prefer. With some low-risk bets, your payout will only be a small fraction of what you risk. For high-risk bets, payouts might be many times greater than your bet. There is a strong positive correlation between how risky a bet is and how much it pays.

Will I Have To Pay Taxes On My Winnings?

Yes, gambling winnings are considered taxable income and must be reported on your tax return. It is also worth noting that gambling losses are deductible to the same point as your winnings. In order to deduct gambling losses, you will need to file for an itemized deduction. Losses must be thoroughly documented in order to be deducted.

How Old Do I Need To Be To Gamble Online?

Every state has its own rules about how old players must be to gamble with a domestically hosted online gambling platform, but for websites based outside of the United States, the only requirement is that players be at least 18 years old. In individual states, age requirements range from 18 to 21 years old.

Can I Try Online Gambling Sites For Free?

Yes, some online gambling sites offer free play options to help players get acquainted and comfortable with their systems and games. Many websites even give players a free currency to more accurately simulate the traditional gambling experience. Players should be warned that some games, like poker, fundamentally change when there is nothing at stake, and that the free experience isn’t always representative of real money gambling.
