New York lawmaker proposes removing in-play bets from authorised sports wagering
New York Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal introduced Bill A9343 in December to remove “in-play bets” from the state’s definition of authorised sports wagering and direct the state gaming commission to prohibit them. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Racing and Wagering; it would take effect immediately if both legislative chambers pass it and Governor Kathy Hochul signs it. Its text leaves the separate term “in-game wagering” unchanged.
If enacted, the proposal could restrict legal in-play sports betting in New York, although its wording leaves the treatment of in-game wagering unclear.
