After many days of speculation, New York has officially awarded online sports betting licenses to nine different sportsbooks.

Online New York sports betting is expected to launch in time for Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022.

Nine Online Sportsbooks Lead the Way in the Empire State

The New York State Gaming Commission has identified a total of nine different sportsbooks that have received online sports betting licenses:

• DraftKings NY
• BetMGM NY
• Bally Bet NY
• Caesars Sportsbook NY

While an official launch date is yet to be determined, online New York sports betting should be available before the final kickoff of the season. The Empire State has been hopeful to get sports betting online before the biggest wagering day of the year, and with sports betting licenses now issued, it looks like they’re going to hit their target.

Online New York Sports Betting Will Be a Multi-Billion Dollar Industry

In-person sports betting at retail sportsbooks has been available in New York since June 2019, but the state has been missing out on crucial revenue without legal online wagering.

The sportsbooks selected in New York have agreed to a 51% tax rate on their profits that will be paid to the state. This is significantly higher than other states, and as a result, the sportsbooks listed above might offer less-favorable odds as they attempt to make up for the high rate of taxes.

New York online sports betting tax rate will be a major obstacle to profitability, but state's massive population still attracted most major sportsbooks; New Jersey sees roughly $1 billion in monthly handle during football season, an estimated 25% of which comes from NY residents

Many sports bettors in New York have been crossing into New Jersey, where online sports betting has been legal and available since June 2018. The Garden State recently collected over $1 billion in total betting handle through the month of September 2021, and New York is going to see similar figures.
