Online casinos in the state of New York seem to be a matter of when, not if. But a major factor in its legalization is about ensuring bettors can practice responsible gambling.
With 2022 nearly over, the last year has shown no tangible progress toward iGaming becoming legal. There were some bills addressing the matter in the first quarter of the year, but they didn’t gain any traction.
But Assemb. Gary Pretlow believes “the real push” is coming in 2023. Sen. Joe Addabbo echoed a similar sentiment when he said authorizing NY online casinos would be his number one priority for the coming state budget.
