New York legislator seeks to ban live betting

[The Buzz]

A New York lawmaker has introduced a bill that would ban all in-play sports betting statewide, going further than recent proposals in neighboring New Jersey that focus only on microbets.

The measure, sponsored by Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, a Democrat representing parts of Manhattan, would prohibit casinos and mobile sportsbooks from accepting any live wagers in New York.

From InGame.com:

Bill A9343, introduced Dec. 10 and referred to the Committee on Racing and Wagering, would remove “in-play bets” from the state’s legal definition of sports wagering. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage.

The proposal would eliminate not just microbets — wagers on individual moments within a sporting event, like what might happen on the next pitch of a baseball game — but all wagers placed after a sporting event has begun.

The bill comes amid growing legislative momentum in the region to rein in rapid-fire sports betting. In New Jersey, two separate bills have been introduced to ban microbets specifically.
