Fanatics Sportsbook was officially approved for business in New York during a Tuesday afternoon meeting of the state gaming commission. The vote was unanimous.
In a statement, Fanatics thanked the commission, though the operator did not give a timeline as to when exactly the PointsBet brand will be retired and replaced by the Fanatics sports betting app.
“Today, the New York State Gaming Commission approved Fanatics Betting and Gaming’s acquisition of PointsBet New York LLC,” read the statement. “We would like to thank the commissioners and staff of the New York State Gaming Commission for their time and effort in delivering us some great news today.”
