Attention New York Sports Bettors: It looks like New Jersey, Pennsylvania and now Connecticut will continue to reap the rewards of your bets in their states if things continue on the path they are on.
With less than 72 hours for New York to meet its fiscal 2022 budget responsibility, mobile sports betting could amazingly be dead on arrival.
Negotiations continue and things can change immediately. However, what appeared to be in some shape or way a virtual lock on the proposed budget faces the same obstacles as before.
« We have asked the governor’s office for some details of his proposal and we would like some kind of hybrid between both Houses and the governor as soon as we see details of his proposal. » That didn’t happen, ”Senator Joseph Addabbo (D), chairman of the Senate Committee on Racing, Games and Betting, told Gambling.com on Monday. « You can’t negotiate with yourself, can you? We’re being asked to approve a proposal without seeing the details of its plan. Negotiations are still ongoing and anything can happen anytime, but for now I see this as a 50:50- Opportunity. “
Addabbo, together with MP Gary Pretlow (D), chairman of the assembly committee for races and betting since 2018, worked out, revised and presented practicable options for mobile sports betting in New York last year in order to generate more income To create jobs and opportunities for the state’s residents, especially during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has hit the state.
« There are no downsides to our proposal, » Pretlow told Spectrum News last week. « (We) have drafted a law that I think will be a model for every state in the United States. Some states have tried the governor’s proposal to which is a one- or two-tone operator plan and they have failed. «
Your suggestions are different from Governor Andrew Cuomo’s suggestion. Cuomo wants online sports betting to be run by the state like the lottery, based on the few details the governor previously released.
Think You to the New Hampshire lottery-overseen model with a sports betting operator for the state – DraftKings. There is just no competition and bettors only have one option for odds.
« We have done everything we can to make this happen Expand budget to include mobile sports betting. We were transparent. We delivered an 18-page document with lots of detail and we have bipartisan approval in both the Senate and the Assembly, « said Addabbo. » If it doesn’t go through, it certainly isn’t to us. The people of this state want this to happen.
« The bigger picture offers a lot more income, jobs and business opportunities, and keeps the money in the state instead of going across state lines to our neighbors. »
June was a date mentioned as it is the last day of the legislature.
« We have walked this route in the past and it will not be done as a separate bill because the assembly has shown in the past that they won’t choose, « said Addabbo. “The opportunity is now. As I said, we are still negotiating and I have always said that this could last until the last second of the deadline. We’ll see what happens in the next 24 to 48 hours. “
Sports betting legislation in Connecticut has advanced a week after agreements were signed with two tribes to expand gambling.
The state’s Joint Public Safety and Security Committee has tabled several bills that the HB 6451 support from Governor Ned Lamont, which passed eight days ago.
Lamont, the Mohegan Tribe, and the Mashantucket-Pequot Tribe announced on March 18 that an agreement had been reached that would allow Connecticut to offer sports betting and offer online casino games.
This is another state bordering New York City where sports betting revenue is lost if Cuomo and lawmakers fail to reach an agreement.
