The evolving gambling landscape of New York

The evolving gambling landscape of New York

Gambling options in NY

New York's gambling scene is multifaceted. In 2013, voters allowed casinos to enter the state. Nowadays, there are 34 casinos operating in New York, with more potentially to come. These casinos offer table games, slots, and electronic gambling options. Additionally, the New York lottery offers various games, and racetracks with betting options are scattered throughout the state. In recent years, online sports betting has also been legalized, adding another layer to the state's gambling landscape. NY has quickly become the top sports betting state by dollars wagered. This accessibility and the constant presence of betting opportunities raise concerns about potential gambling addiction increases across the state.

The Scope of Gambling Addiction in New York

A 2020 survey by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) indicates that around 1% of New York residents are classified as problem or pathological gamblers while over 4% of adults are at risk. This translates to a significant number of individuals and families struggling with gambling addiction.

These figured are likely outdated though, as online sports betting has become incredibly popular in NY over the past three years. More research is needed to quantify the full impacts that legalized sports betting has had on New Yorkers, but you don't need to look far across the Hudson River to see the effects it's had nearby. In neighboring New Jersey, there has been a 277% increase in outreach to the gambling helplines since NJ's legalization of online sports betting in 2018.
