New York Sports Betting Statement Bill Heads to Governor
Key Highlights
- New York lawmakers unanimously approved a bill requiring sportsbooks to send monthly betting statements to customers.
- Reports would include betting activity, deposits, winnings, losses, promotional credits, and time spent on sportsbook apps.
- Gov. Kathy Hochul will now decide whether the measure becomes law.
Online sportsbooks operating in New York may soon be required to provide customers with monthly betting statements.
The New York Senate unanimously passed the landmark bill, A10329, on June 3, 2026. It is now awaiting signature from Gov. Kathy Hochul.
New York Advances Sports Betting Transparency Measure
The responsible gambling proposal, introduced in the New York State Assembly by Rebecca Kassay, received unanimous support in both legislative chambers. Sen. Joseph Addabbo sponsored the Senate version, which passed by a vote of 61-0.
If signed into law, New York would become the first state to require sports betting operators to electronically submit account statements to their players. The requirements would take effect on January 1, 2027.
Monthly Reports Would Detail Betting Activity
Under the legislation, licensed New York betting sites would be required to send electronic statements to customers within 15 days of the end of each month. The reports would provide a comprehensive overview of betting activity during the previous month, including:
- Total deposits
- Net gains and losses
- Wagers placed
- Number of sports bets
- Time logged into accounts
- Promotional credits/free bets used
In addition, customers would gain access to their lifetime betting history, giving them a long-term record of their wagering activity. Advocates say the disclosures could help bettors identify patterns in their behavior while making it easier to understand their overall spending and results.
Responsible Gambling Remains A Key Focus
New York is one of many states attempting to improve responsible gambling protections around evolving US gambling laws. Monthly statements to customers will also include information about responsible gaming resources and support services available to residents.
The New York State Gaming Commission would be responsible for establishing specific standards governing the format and presentation of the statements.
Should Hochul sign the legislation, New York would set a new precedent for sportsbook transparency in the United States. The state has the largest online sports betting market in the US, so it’s reasonable to expect that other states will pay close attention to how the law plays out.
