Save Room In Christmas Stockings For New York Online Sports Betting?
An effort to pass a revenue bill before Christmas is brewing in New York, and a lawmaker says he has a solid commitment to include online sports betting.
Matthew Kredell reports on efforts to legalize sports wagering and online casino gaming around the country. He covered the multi-year effort to legalize online sports betting in New York from the beginning.
He talks to state lawmakers, lobbyists and industry representatives to get the scoop on new gambling developments in the Empire State and was at the forefront when the state budget included the authorization of legal online sports betting in 2021.
Matthew has covered the legal gambling industry since 2007, getting into regulated sports betting three years later.
An alum of USC, Matthew began his career as a sportswriter at the Los Angeles Daily News. He has also contributed to publications that include Playboy, Men’s Journal and ESPN.

The chances for New York to legalize online sports betting in 2020 are dwindling as lawmakers wait to take up revenue bill.
If New York legalizes online sports betting this year, it won't be until after the election.
With possible inclusion in the revenue bill ahead, the New York online sports betting bill limits the market's potential by restricting casinos to one skin.
Jeff Gural, owner of Tioga Downs Casino, believes that New York will approve mobile sports betting and expediting downstate casinos this year.
Following last week's protest by casino employees, one casino owner hopes to get word this week that New York casinos can reopen.
