New York Moves to Legalize Online Gambling with New Bill


A Key Step for iGaming in New York

On January 21st, 2025, the New York State Senate’s Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Committee introduced Bill SB2614, led by Senator Joseph Addabbo, aiming to legalize online gambling and digital lotteries across the state.

The proposed legislation seeks to expand the iGaming industry, allowing the operation of regulated online casinos and betting platforms, while also incorporating poker games into the legal digital gambling framework.

Key Provisions of the Bill

✔️ Regulation of online casinos and betting platforms within the state.
✔️ Inclusion of digital poker games as a legal form of gambling.
✔️ Tax revenue allocation for state education and healthcare programs.
✔️ Implementation of responsible gambling measures to prevent addiction.

The bill is not just about expanding the gambling market but also ensuring responsible regulation, introducing mechanisms to curb excessive gambling behavior.

Will SB2614 Be Approved in 2025?

The debate over online gambling legalization in New York remains heated. While supporters argue that this bill will increase state revenue and reduce illegal gambling activity, opponents warn of potential rises in gambling addiction rates.

Key factors influencing approval:
🔹 Support from industry stakeholders and betting operators.
🔹 Projected economic benefits for New York’s economy.
🔹 Opposition from groups advocating for stricter regulations.

If SB2614 is approved, New York would join states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, which have successfully regulated online gambling.
