New York sports betting officially
launched and landed on January 8, with four inaugural sportsbooks going live.
These four sportsbooks were FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars Sportsbook, and BetRivers. Just over a week later, they were joined by a fifth sportsbook as BetMGM went live in the Empire State.
But what’s the status with
WynnBet? Let’s take a look…
Is WynnBet legal in New York?
Not yet - but it is coming soon. WynnBet has been approved to go live in New York and will launch very soon. However, at the time of writing, we don’t have an exact date. If reports are to be believed, we could be seeing WynnBet going live in time for you to place a wager on the Super Bowl. That means that it should launch before Sunday, February 13.
When an exact launch date is announced for WynnBet New York, CaptainGambling will be the first to let you know. All we can promise you now is that you won’t have to wait too long.
With all that being said though, we understand that some of you can’t wait that long, so let’s take a look at some of the best alternatives:
