Empire State. It seems like the venture paid out, because New York is currently leading the country in revenue from sports betting. We’ll discuss this success story in today’s article and we’ll give you the New York betting site rankings.
Legalization Process and Regulations
There’s a reason why you started to hear about sports betting legalization efforts; it’s all thanks to the Supreme Court, which made this possible. In 2018, the Supreme Court struck down PASPA (The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992), which previously banned sports betting on a federal level.
The Supreme Court decision thus allowed for individual states to regulate their own industries and thirty states have legalized sports betting so far. New York first legalized in-person betting in 2019, and followed up with legalization of online sports betting shortly after.

On early Monday, March 28, the resident of New Windsor, Andrew Goodenough, 41, was sentenced for the unprovoked attack in ShopRite six years ago. The man from Orange County pleaded guilty for causing the death of Michael Kohus, 35, on June 11, 2016. The victim was a resident of Highland Falls, located less than 14 miles southeast of Newburgh. According to witnesses, there were no motives for the attack.
In February 2022, the defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the Orange County court. A month later, the case was finally closed after six years of forensic psychiatric assessment, competency proceedings, and legal tricks by Goodenough's lawyers. Due to mental-health diagnoses from the past, the defense initially planned to plead insanity. It all ends with a sentence of 20 years to life in prison.

New York legalized marijuana officially in the spring of 2021, but bureaucracy is still preventing people living across the state from benefiting from the new law. Partially, the former Governor Cuomo is to blame for this situation as his resignation in August 2021 caused administrative chaos, and many procedures were temporarily stopped. At the same time, the topic is sensitive, and the state government couldn’t make a decision on behalf of all municipalities.
Each one had a few months to decide whether to allow marijuana retail and using establishments within their borders or not. From one side, the community might feel safer, but on the other, they will stay aside from the expected tax revenue from recreational marijuana sales. According to the new law, 40% of all potential tax dollars should go to the most damaged communities. As for the people from the five boroughs, the decision...

Since in-person sports betting was legalized in 2019, the people of New York have been waiting for the follow-up. On January 8, 2022, the online wagering on sports in the state went officially live, opening the door for all the big US sportsbooks, including DraftKings, FanDuel, and Caesars. Until that day, residents of the state had the opportunity to use unlicensed and unregulated offshore betting sites, causing millions in economic losses each year.
After PASPA, the federal ban on sports wagering was revoked in 2018, New York patiently waited for local lawmakers to take the expected actions. About a year after that, in-person sports betting became legal, but the online industry required most debates and preparation. The debut was originally scheduled for the end of 2021 but was again postponed, fortunately by only a few weeks.

On Tuesday, November 8, 2022, will be held the Governor of New York general elections. The incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul is on the run to win a full term after she took the office from the resigned Andrew Cuomo. Even after Democrat Attorney General Letitia James decided to stand down the competition is set to be fierce. Just like Kathy Hochul is the first female Governor, Letitia would have been the first black woman taking the Gubernatorial office in history. Instead, she decided to work on her potential reelection as an Attorney General.
However, Governor Kathy Hochul is not the only nominee of the Democratic Party. The advocate Jumaane Williams, former New York mayor Bill de Blasio, and a few other candidates will also run in the election. On the other hand, Republicans will not stay and watch either. According to some polls, the party has a...
