As noted, New Yorkers only have a couple of legal options for playing casino games online. Sports betting sites are a work in progress, but on their way. Still, you might be wondering, “Why can I find online casinos and poker rooms when I search?” Simply put: Those sites are based outside of the US. While they accept New York players, they come with a host of problems that make them a bad idea. For one thing, there is no law permitting them to operate in New York. For another, you don’t have any way to use the state and federal legal systems to help you if anything goes wrong. Finally, you can never be sure if the sites are secure and can keep your information safe from hackers.
Daily fantasy sports, or DFS, has long been a topic of debate for gambling proponents and opponents around the country. New York is no exception, and the legality of the activity was murky for some time. That is, until March 2022, when the New York Court of Appeals deemed DFS constitutional in the Empire State. Days later, a bill amendment emerged to potentially bring more DFS operators to the state. As it stands, these brands offer daily fantasy sports in New York:
- DraftKings
- FanDuel
- Yahoo
- Fantasy Draft
- Draft
- Synkt Games, Inc. d/b/a letsRUMBL
- Fanamana, Inc.
- DataForce, LLC
- RealTime Fantasy Sports
- For Players By Players
- Vauntek, Inc.
- Sports Hub Technologies
- MastersFantasyLeagues.com
- Boom Fantasy
- Fulltime Fantasy Sports, LLC
Daily fantasy sports operators pay a 15% tax on gross gaming revenue. That money goes directly to the New York Lottery fund to provide aid to education to New York’s public schools.
Not exactly. There are some locations in and around the Big Apple that call themselves casinos, but they are actually racinos — venues with slot-like machines, simulcast betting, and, in some cases, live horse racing. The nearest true casino to New York City in New York is Resorts World Catskills, which requires 2 hours of driving to the northwest. Within the next few years, though, that will change, as officials expect to hand out three licenses for NYC-area casinos by the end of 2025.
No. As is the case with online poker, there are no legal casino sites in New York. Your only options are the social/sweepstakes-type sites that offer slots and table games for free. Some of the best casinos in this genre are Chumba Casino, Luckyland Slots and Funzpoints. A quick trip to nearby states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will give you access to a number of real money online casinos as well.
