New York is the biggest sports betting market in the US. New Yorkers bet $26.3 billion through online sportsbooks in 2025, and another $2.26 billion in the four weeks to September 27, 2026, as football season got going. Eight New York sports betting sites are live: FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM, Fanatics, BetRivers, theScore Bet and Bally Bet. FanDuel and DraftKings take almost three of every four dollars bet in the state.
Not every national offer reaches New York: Bet365 isn't licensed here, and BetMGM's and Fanatics' welcome offers exclude the state. The best New York sportsbook promos are DraftKings' $200 in Bonus Bets plus three months of NBA League Pass for a $5 first bet, FanDuel's $350 in Bonus Bets when you wager $5 for 7 days and Caesars Sportsbook's Bet $1, Double Your Winnings offer.

BetMGM and Fanatics are also live in New York, but their welcome offers aren't available in the state, so we've left them out of the table. Bet365 isn't licensed in New York at all. If you're in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, you can use the Bet365 bonus code DIMERS there; see our New Jersey sports betting sites and Pennsylvania sports betting sites guides. For offers across the country, see our sportsbook promo codes page.
New York taxes online sportsbooks at 51% of their revenue, one of the highest rates in the country, and the state still collects more sports betting tax than any other. The New York State Gaming Commission publishes figures for every sportsbook each week. These are the latest monthly totals for online betting, alongside the full year for 2025:
| Measure | August 2026 | Full year 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Online handle (total bets) | $1.73 billion | $26.3 billion |
| Sportsbook revenue | $168.5 million | $2.55 billion |
| Tax for education | $85.9 million | $1.32 billion |
Football season lifted betting again in September: New Yorkers bet $2.26 billion online in the four weeks to September 27, 2026, and $615.1 million in the week to October 18 alone. This is how that September handle split between the eight sportsbooks:
| Sportsbook | Share of New York online handle (four weeks to September 27, 2026) |
|---|---|
| FanDuel | 37.6% |
| DraftKings | 35.0% |
| Fanatics | 11.2% |
| Caesars Sportsbook | 6.3% |
| BetMGM | 6.1% |
| BetRivers | 1.8% |
| theScore Bet | 1.3% |
| Bally Bet | 0.6% |
Shares are calculated from the weekly figures each sportsbook reports to the New York State Gaming Commission.
We rate every sportsbook on the same criteria (see how we rate sportsbooks): the welcome offer, the depth of markets, the quality of the app, live betting, payment options and ongoing promos. In New York, which offers you can actually claim matters too.
FanDuel is New York's biggest sportsbook, with 37.6% of the state's online handle in September. Its app is fast and clean, its Same Game Parlay builder is one of the easiest to use, and it posts deep player props on the Knicks, Nets, Bills, Giants, Jets, Rangers and Islanders.
New customers get $350 in Bonus Bets when they wager $5 a day for seven days, with $50 in Bonus Bets issued for each day. No FanDuel promo code is needed. Read our full FanDuel Sportsbook review.
DraftKings was one of the four sportsbooks that launched on January 8, 2022, and it's a close second to FanDuel, with 35.0% of September handle. It offers one of the deepest NBA and NFL prop menus in the state, plus Same Game Parlay and SGP+ tools, fast live betting and daily profit boosts.
New customers who sign up with DraftKings and place a first bet of $5 or more get $200 in Bonus Bets, paid out over 21 days, plus three months of NBA League Pass. The first bet doesn't have to win, and no DraftKings promo code is needed. League Pass blacks out games shown on your local TV channels, so it's best for following teams outside the New York area. Read our DraftKings Sportsbook review.
Caesars Sportsbook was also part of New York's launch, and it links every bet to Caesars Rewards, which you can use for hotel stays and dining at Caesars properties around the country.
New users in New York get the Bet $1, Double Your Winnings offer: profit boost tokens that double the winnings on qualifying bets of up to $25 each, with up to $2,500 in extra winnings per token. You must register with an eligible promo code, so check our Caesars Sportsbook promo code page before you sign up, and read our Caesars Sportsbook review.
Fanatics Sportsbook has grown into New York's third-biggest sportsbook, with 11.2% of September handle. It's known for FanCash, the rewards currency you can spend on Knicks, Yankees or Bills gear in the Fanatics store. Its welcome offer excludes New York. See our Fanatics promo code page for how the offer works in other states.
BetMGM is strong on futures and runs daily odds boosts on the biggest games, and its BetMGM Rewards program links to MGM Resorts properties around the country. BetMGM's welcome offers aren't available in New York, so sign up for the app itself rather than a bonus. Our BetMGM Sportsbook review and BetMGM bonus code page cover the offers available elsewhere.
Three smaller sportsbooks are also licensed: BetRivers, which launched with the first group in January 2022; theScore Bet, which took over from ESPN Bet in December 2025; and Bally Bet. Resorts World Bet stopped taking bets in New York at the end of June 2025.
Step 1: Pick a sportsbook and tap our link, such as FanDuel, DraftKings or Caesars Sportsbook, or download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Step 2: Create your account with your name, email, date of birth and address. You must be 21 or older.
Step 3: Verify your identity. Most apps ask for the last four digits of your Social Security number and may ask for a photo ID.
Step 4: Turn on location services. New York sportsbooks check that you're inside the state before they accept a bet.
Step 5: Make your first deposit. DraftKings and FanDuel don't need a promo code; for Caesars, use the code on our Caesars Sportsbook promo code page.
Step 6: Place your qualifying bet to unlock the welcome offer, and note when your bonus bets or tokens expire.
Retail sports betting started at Rivers Casino in Schenectady on July 16, 2019, under a 2013 law that allowed upstate commercial casinos to take bets once the federal ban was lifted. The state budget signed in April 2021 legalized mobile betting, and Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel and BetRivers took the first online bets on January 8, 2022.
Dimers simulates every game thousands of times. Use the results before you bet with any New York sportsbook:
Retail betting is a tiny part of the market, at less than 1% of New York's sports betting revenue, but you can bet in person at 11 casinos:
| Casino | Location | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Rivers Casino & Resort | Schenectady | Commercial |
| del Lago Resort & Casino | Waterloo | Commercial |
| Tioga Downs | Nichols | Commercial |
| Resorts World Catskills | Monticello | Commercial |
| Turning Stone Resort Casino | Verona | Tribal |
| Yellow Brick Road Casino | Chittenango | Tribal |
| Point Place Casino | Bridgeport | Tribal |
| Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino | Niagara Falls | Tribal |
| Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino | Salamanca | Tribal |
| Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino | Buffalo | Tribal |
| Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort | Hogansburg | Tribal |
Three downstate casino licenses were awarded in December 2025, to Bally's Bronx, Metropolitan Park in Queens and Resorts World New York City, so New York City will have full casinos of its own in the coming years.
Five of New York's neighbors also have legal online sports betting: New Jersey sports betting sites, Pennsylvania sports betting sites, Connecticut sports betting sites, Massachusetts sports betting sites and Vermont sports betting sites. Your New York account works there as long as the same sportsbook is licensed in that state, and New Jersey and Pennsylvania also have Bet365. For the national picture, see our list of the best sports betting sites and the best betting apps.
FanDuel and DraftKings lead New York for good reason: they have the deepest markets, the best apps and two of the few welcome offers open to New Yorkers. Start with FanDuel's $350 in Bonus Bets if you'll bet every day for a week, or DraftKings' $200 in Bonus Bets plus three months of NBA League Pass for a single $5 bet. Add Caesars Sportsbook as a third account to shop for the best price on every bet, and check our guide to the best live betting sites if you bet during games.

FanDuel is New York's biggest sportsbook, with 37.6% of September 2026 handle, and new customers get $350 in Bonus Bets when they wager $5 for 7 days. DraftKings is a close second and gives new players $200 in Bonus Bets plus three months of NBA League Pass for a $5 first bet.

Playing at online sportsbooks, real money casinos, and sweepstakes sites should always be safe and enjoyable. Keep control of your activity by following responsible gambling guidelines such as:
Decide on a budget you’re comfortable with and stick to it. Once it’s gone, stop playing.
Trying to recover losses often leads to overspending.
Avoid playing under the influence, or when angry, stressed, or tired.
Take breaks and ensure gambling doesn’t cut into time with family or friends.
Learn the rules, bet types, odds, and payouts before playing to avoid mistakes.
Make use of features like budget limits and self-exclusion.
