As of my knowledge cutoff date in early 2023, residents of New York can bet on FanDuel, but with some restrictions. FanDuel offers sports betting, and it is one of the leading providers in the United States after the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 2018, which allowed individual states to regulate sports betting.
However, New York has specific laws and regulations regarding sports betting. Initially, sports betting was limited to four upstate commercial casinos. In early 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation that allowed for mobile sports betting, which expanded access to platforms like FanDuel.
Here are some key points to consider:
– **Mobile Betting**: Mobile sports betting is legal in New York, and you can download the FanDuel app to bet on sports if you are within the state’s borders.
– **Location**: You must be physically located within New York state to place a bet on FanDuel. Geolocation services are used to ensure that bettors are within the state.
– **Age Requirement**: You must be 21 years of age or older to bet on FanDuel in New York.
It’s important to note that the legal landscape for sports betting can change, and you should verify the current status with local laws or FanDuel’s terms of service before placing any bets. Always ensure that you are in compliance with the latest regulations.
