Mobile sports betting becoming legal in New York anytime

The revamped bill being pushed by Pretlow and Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Queens) would enable tribal and business casinos to provide sports betting statewide should they pony up to get a license fee of $12 million. Additionally, it requires casinos to pay a state tax of 8.5% of gross sports wagering earnings and a 12% tax on cellular Sports Betting wagers. With the end on the legislative session rapidly approaching and a plethora of different problems being prioritized over online wagering, a recently tweaked invoice allowing four private casinos and people run by Native American tribes to get in on the action is stuck in the starting gate.
