New York senator proposes up to 10 online poker licences
New York Senator Joseph Addabbo introduced SB9226, a bill proposing to authorise online poker licences in the state. The proposal would allow up to 10 licences, apply a 15% tax to gross revenue and set a $10m fee for each 10-year licence; it was before the Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee. The bill would still require Governor Kathy Hochul’s signature to become law.
Operators would face proposed licensing fees and a gross-revenue tax if the bill becomes law.
