New York Online Casinos

Since New York sports betting became legal on Jan. 8, 2022, it has been the largest betting market in the U.S. What the Empire State does lack, however, are legal online casinos — for now.

New York is expected to join the online casino market at some point in 2023, after state lawmakers introduced a new online casino gaming bill (S8412) on Thursday, Feb. 25. 

Additionally, NY is expected to offer online casinos for their existing nine sportsbooks, with the likely addition of more online casino brands which makes it easier for you to find the site that’s right for you.

A Look at NY Online Gambling History

Legal Retail New York Casinos

Although there is currently one retail casino (Resorts World) in New York City, there are several retail locations throughout the state.

Here is a list of NY casinos along with their land-based partners:

 Activating an Online Casino Account in New York

When the Empire State legalizes online casinos, signing up for an account will be simple. Note that online casinos are required by law to verify users’ identities to prevent money laundering and other illegal activities. Most online casinos will usually ask for standard personal information, as required by state regulators:

• Full name
• Address
• Email address
• Date of birth
• Social security number
• Potentially other questions to verify your identity

What to Expect from New York Bonus Codes 

There’s nothing better for players than some bonus cash just for signing up, and online casinos know this. This is why they offer enticing welcome bonuses for bettors to give their platform a shot. Players only get one chance at claiming a new user bonus at each casino, so make it count. 

You’ll commonly see no-deposit bonuses in the $10-25 range, with a few higher ones mixed in. First deposit match bonuses are also fairly standard, usually 100% up to a specific limit. Finally, several but not all casinos will promote risk-free bets, so it’s worth looking into if that is an enticing option for you.

As a note, players cannot cash out bonuses immediately as every casino will include a wagering or withdrawal requirement to prevent players from abusing these bonuses.

Expect there to be a flurry of exciting online casino promos when it becomes legalized in the Empire State.

Supported Playing Experiences on Web and Mobile

New York is expected to offer online casino players nearly every single option to play. Typically, a brand’s web experience and app tend to offer similar experiences. These experiences can vary by state.

Here are details on supported tech systems:

• Mobile: Android, iOS
• Web: PC, Mac
• Browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari for Mac
