New York State has taken another step towards legalizing sports betting. From November 8, they can be done through mobile applications. The State Gaming Commission has allowed nine gambling operators to accept mobile bets, reports PIX 11.

Approved operators include well-known companies such as FanDuel and DraftKings, as well as BetMGM and Caesars. Others that have received company approval are Bally's, Rush Street Interactive, Wynn, Empire Resorts, and PointsBet.

The Gambling Commission says operators can start accepting mobile bets "as soon as they localize and test the servers." BetMGM said they don't yet have a schedule for when their app might be launched.

"Winners of the tender can select the site to host the servers, with the Commission retaining final approval for the location as well as costs," said a spokesman for the New York State Gambling Commission. - Every company needs to build a server room. The equipment must be tested and approved by an independent testing laboratory. "

State will establish tax rate at 51% on profit from sports betting.

Currently, sports betting in New York can only be made in person - in some casinos in the state. But in the spring, the state government approved mobile sports betting, and the idea is slowly gaining momentum.

MGM CEO Adam Greenblatt called New York "a state vital to ensuring the nation's leadership in sports betting and iGaming over time."

“We would like to thank the New York City Gambling Commission and congratulate them for sticking to their schedule,” he added. - New York has the potential to become one of the largest sports betting markets in the United States. BetMGM has a particularly high chance of becoming a leader in the state. "
