Sports betting approved in New York
The New York State Gaming Commission has voted to approve the regulation of sports betting in the state’s four private casinos.
However, regulation will also apply to the state’s Indian-operated casinos, although mobile betting will still be prohibited at this point.
Despite the approval, the regulations will not be finalised until they have undergone a 60-day public comment period.
