New York Indian Casinos approved for Sports Betting

June 8, 2019

The New York Gaming Commission voted 6-0 to approve rules for sports betting at all tribal casinos, Del Lago, Rivers, Resorts World Catskills and Tioga Downs.

Sports betting in the state can now begin as early as June 26. The rules allow in-person betting inside the designated casinos but no mobile sports betting. Mobile betting may require a voter initiative and amendment to the state constitution.

New York originally passed legislation in 2013 to legalize sports betting subject to a change to federal law. That occurred in May 2018 when the U.S. Supreme Court determined the federal ban was illegal.

The New York Gaming Commission is responsible for regulating sports betting in the state. The commission drafter its rules in January of this year and approved them this month. This gives a green light to all New York tribal casinos and the four state-licensed casinos to begin sports betting operations inside their casino.
