At this stage, online gambling in New York is not fully legalized, only partially.
Sports Betting in New York (City)
Online sports betting at this stage is legalized only at retail location (real location). The first bet was made this year on July 17 at Rivers Casino & Resort. As in many other states, there are also illegal bookmakers in New York where you can bet, but they are not recommended because you can’t turn to anyone if you have a problem.
The only options for New Yorkers at this stage who want to play fully legalized online sports betting are neighboring Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Online Casino in New York
There is no legal online casino in New York so far, and one of the latest information is that this issue will be reviewed and it is expected that online casinos will be legalized in 3 to 5 years.
New Yorkers can only play at Chumba Casino, which is not considered online gambling by the authorities because no real money is used. If New Yorkers want to legally play online casinos, they will have to cross the border again and go to neighboring Pennsylvania or New Jersey.
Online Poker in New York
Similar to the situation with online casinos, online poker is not legal in New York and seems even less likely to be legalized at this stage. Still, New Yorkers have the option to play online poker, but not for real money at Global Poker.
