New York has become the latest state to legalize online sports betting in the US! And with that news comes the pressure for operators to make sure their sites are up and ready for new members.
So, whether you’re eagerly waiting to place a wager or you’re just interested in the hype that’s flooding the online sports betting news. Let’s look at when you can register with sportsbooks in NYC.
Online sports betting has officially been legal in New York since January 8th 2022. Although pretty recent, some sportsbooks have been working overtime to ensure their sites and apps are ready for customers to use on their favorite sports.
There are currently four major sportsbooks in New York that have met all the required regulatory and licensing standards and are up and running. So you could open an online sportsbook right away. These include DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and BetRivers, which is excellent news for NFL fans. They could become accustomed to the site, benefit from limited-time offers and place bets before the playoffs started on Saturday, January 15th until mid-February.
The state of New York initially approved nine sportsbooks, including the four already mentioned, when they announced the legalization at the start of January. The other five are yet to launch their online NYC sportsbook accounts. But they are estimated to arrive in late January for the operator BetMGM and February for PointsBet, WynnBet, Bally Bet and Resorts World Sportsbook.
If you want to open an online sportsbook account now, we highlighted some key features of the four operators that are ready and waiting for you to join!
DraftKings has a quick and easy sign-up process for new customers and offers a bonus bet up to $100 when you refer a friend. You can also benefit from the NFL with their limited time offer.

The New York FanDuel sportsbook has a range of sign-up offers and bonuses for new customers. Similar to DraftKings, you will both get site credits back when you refer a friend. $50 on the sportsbook and $50 on the casino.
