The process has begun for Fanatics Sportsbook to take over for PointsBet as soon as next month.
During a meeting of the New York State Gaming Commission on Thursday, executive director Robert Williams detailed the timeline from Fanatics submitting a bid to acquire the US operations of PointsBet Sportsbook in the spring to Fanatics submitting required documentation to the NYSGC as a means of acquiring PointsBet’s NY sports betting license.
According to Brian O’Dwyer, chairman of the NYSGC, work still remains by both Fanatics and the commission before the approval of a license transfer.
“When that is finished, the commission will consider the recommendations of the (NYSGC) staff and look at their report and then make a final determination at that point.”
