The New York Gaming Commission announced Thursday that four sportsbooks can launch in the state at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday.
Five other sportsbooks were approved late in 2021. They will be permitted to start accepting bets on a “rolling basis" when requirements are met, per the Gaming Commission.
"I want to thank the Gaming Commission for their efficiency in ensuring that these operators met all of the requirements to bring their mobile sports betting product to the people of New York ahead of the NFL playoffs," state senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr., a member of the New York state Senate since 2009 and the chair of the committee on racing, gaming and wagering, said in a statement.
