New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed budget legislation for the 2022 fiscal year that includes a plan to allow online sports betting in the state.
The new budget, to which Cuomo and legislators agreed earlier this month, makes New York the latest state to legalize mobile sports betting. Cuomo signed the bill into law on Monday.
Even though the state is still months away from actually taking legal sports bets, New York State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. told Elite Sports New York that he expects the first bets to be taken on Feb.
