New York lawmakers seem enthusiastic about changing the state’s online sports betting laws. Wednesday, seven bills were filed, each of which on its own would significantly change the face of New York sports betting, and taken as a whole would dramatically change what is available to bettors and how operators treat them.
The bill that would impose the most change is AO 9636, which would eliminate everything from team and player proposition bets to over/under bets. The bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner, would limit wagering to “final outcome, score, or winner of a sporting event or contest.”
The bill was assigned to the House Racing and Wagering Committee, but no hearing date has been set.
