Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr. officially reintroduces bill to legalize online casinos in New York
As expected, Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. is taking another run at legalizing NY online casinos with hopes that the fourth time is the charm.
For the fourth straight year, Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. is looking to pass legislation to legalize online casinos in New York. While the latest proposal is a mirror image of the bill he rolled out in 2025, optimism still remains that the Empire State would authorize state-regulated iGaming now that officials completed the downstate casino licensing process. That said, there's still a steep, uphill road ahead for New York online casinos with one major hurdle standing in the way of passage.
Details of proposed NY online casino bill
Addabbo reintroduced S2614, a counterpart to an Assembly bill that currently sits in the Assembly Racing and Wagering committee, to legalize real money online casino operations in New York.
