How Legal Sports Betting Changed an NYC Podcaster’s Life
New York sports betting is limited to retail establishments which are located in NY casinos in upstate NY. That leaves a good population of the state without legal betting options. However, New Jersey sports betting has both online and retail options.
That means NY sports betting customers must get a train and travel to NJ to place a legal wager. So what is the chance of New York legalizing sports betting? It’s hard to tell, but there is optimism around the latest legislative efforts. How Legal Sports Betting Changed A NYC Podcaster’s Life Forever is the story of one NYC sports bettor’s quest to bet legally and how his life changed when NJ legalized sports betting.

The State of New York Sports Betting – An Examination of the Forces Shaping the Market
Eric Ramsey, Matthew Kredell, and Dustin Gouker authored The State of New York Sports Betting – An Examination of the Forces Shaping the Market, a white paper that examines in detail the possibility and potential for online sports betting in New York. Currently, New York features two plans on how to legalize:
- GOV. ANDREW CUOMO
Under Cuomo’s plan, the state Gaming Commission would issue a request for proposals to select and license one or more platform providers via a competitive bidding process. This blueprint most closely mirrors the framework in place in a nearby market with barely 1 million adult residents and no commercial or tribal casinos. The lottery in New Hampshire chose DraftKings in 2019 as its sole sports betting operator in exchange for 50% of gross revenue, a relationship which benefitted the state to the tune of $11 million in the 2020 calendar year. - NY LEGISLATURE
Lawmakers, on the other hand, have spent three years consulting with analysts, attorneys, experts, and stakeholders to craft a fully conceived plan for expansion via the state’s existing gambling operation. Their model would create an inclusive and competitive market built upon the commercial and tribal casinos, a framework more akin to New Jersey’s than to New Hampshire’s.
