New York is one of the worldwide capitals of sports entertainment. With more than a dozen popular professional franchises spread out among the major U.S. leagues, New Yorkers have a wealth of teams to root for, and bet on, throughout the year.
It didn’t take long for New York to become one of the leaders in the sports betting industry after online sportsbooks launched in the Empire State on January 8, 2022. New York has regularly been at or near the top in terms of sports betting revenue. BetRivers Sportsbook was one of the online sports betting platforms that launched the same day as the state in January 2022.
