Eric Uribe

Born and raised in Nevada, Eric was exposed to the world of sports betting at an early age. He yearned to be 21 just to hit the sportsbook, and when that day finally came, he became a regular at the smoke-filled room, sweating out bets with sketchy characters. Eric's passion for sports betting hasn't wavered since. However, he's developed a separate interest in business too. Eric combines both these deep passions for OSB where he not only drops expert betting advice, but also researched news about the state of industry. Things like new legalization bills, tax changes, state revenue, innovation, and so much more!

They haven't legalized any form of sports betting and won't rehash the issue again until their November 2022 ballot. What, pray to tell, does this mean for the future of sports betting in the state? We're here to have a look.

New York Reports $1.54 Billion in Legal Sports Betting Business for February 2022

2022/03/08

Legal sports betting first arrived in New York at the start of January 2022. However, given how delayed the rollout proved to be at the beginning of a new year, February marked the first full month in which sports betting was fully legal. And not surprisingly, it was a banner pay period for the state. New York accepted more than $1.5 billion in sports bets for February, which amounts to nearly $100 million in total revenue for the state itself. And believe it or not, the best has probably yet to come.
