New York moves closer to legal online casinos
Legalized online casino gambling could be coming to The Empire State in the near future. After legal sports betting was launched in January 2022, Senator Joseph Addabbo introduced Senate Bill 8412, a piece of legislation centered around bringing regulated interactive gaming to the state of New York.
SB 8412 would put New York in a similar position as other states that have legalized online casinos over the past few years, meaning that only land-based casino operators would receive direct market access if SB 8412 is eventually passed.
Sen. Addabbo’s proposed bill would allow for up to two mobile casinos per land-based casino. Each land-based casino operator would be required to pay a one-time licensing fee of $2 million, while third-party operators interested in pairing their online brand with a casino partner are looking at an additional $10 million in fees.
Online operators will be permitted to use their own brands, however, much like what we’ve seen over in Pennsylvania, the land-based casino’s branding must be clearly displayed on the online brand’s mobile app.
Unlike New York’s heavy 51% tax rate on mobile sports betting, SB 8412 suggests a more reasonable 25% rate for online casino gaming. Be sure to check back to this page for any further updates on New York Online Casinos. Legal Online Casino States
