At first Governor Andrew Cuomo refused to consider the bills proposed to legalize sports betting in the Empire State. Although the online betting industry has flourished in the states like New Jersey, Indiana, and Pennsylvania after PASPA had been struck down.
In 2022 New York finally got statewide mobile sports betting and FanDuel was one of the first sportsbooks to go live in the Empire state.
Considering the success sports betting has had in the states that have already embraced it, it came as no surprise that New York quickly became the state with the largest sports handle. FanDuel is the number one sportsbook in the state and led the way among the first ones to act. New York City and Buffalo are home to numerous professional teams so there will be plenty of partnership opportunities for a large sportsbook like FanDuel.
