WynnBET received regulatory approval to launch in New York earlier this week.
WynnBET NY is now the seventh launched online sportsbook in the Empire State, joining Caesars Sportsbook NY, DraftKings Sportsbook NY, FanDuel NY, BetRivers NY, BetMGM NY and PointsBet NY.
New York is still waiting on BallyBet and Empire Resorts to receive regulatory approval to launch. In an interview with Contessa Brewer on CNBC, Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim noted that Bally Bet would not launch in New York until at least April.
Kim said the company is fine with missing Super Bowl LVI.
Empire Resorts has yet to declare when they will launch their product.
