Future Sports Betting Apps In New York

The first four sportsbooks to launch in the Empire state are DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars and Rush Street Interactive with their BetRivers and SugarHouse properties. These sportsbook operators will have their initial launch on Saturday, January 8th, 2022 at 9:00 AM EST.

After these initial four sportsbooks launch, there will be several other sportsbooks joining the New York betting landscape over time. Most experts agree that early in 2022 we will see the addition of BetMGM, Bally Bet, PointsBet, WynnBet and Resorts World. As more news comes out about these operators, we will be sure to keep New York bettors informed.

It's important to note not all betting options are available in all jurisdictions. For example, despite multiple attempts at changing the laws, New Jersey has strict regulations on college sports wagers. No betting is allowed on any New Jersey-based team, regardless of where the game is played. In addition, no college game played in the state, even if the two teams are not based in New Jersey, can be open to sports betting.

It is worth noting there was a list of some key players that have not announced their entrance into New York. Among those are Barstool Sportsbook, Bet365, theScore Sportsbook and Fox Bet. Time will tell if these players will make their way into the New York betting landscape.
