Bill > A09343

This bill directs the state gaming commission to prohibit in-play sports wagers in New York, which are bets placed during a live sporting event while the action is ongoing. Specifically, the bill amends the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to require that casinos, mobile sports wagering licensees, and mobile sports wagering operators are forbidden from accepting in-play sports wagers from bettors within the state. The bill also modifies the existing definition of "sports wagering" by removing the specific reference to "in-play bets" from the list of wagering types. In-play sports betting is typically considered more dynamic and potentially risky compared to pre-game betting, as it allows gamblers to place bets based on real-time developments during a sporting event. The legislation aims to provide additional consumer protection and regulate the sports betting landscape in New York by eliminating this specific type of wagering. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
