S 2616 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to allowing season-long proposition bets and future award winners as authorized bets

This bill allows sports betting operators to offer "season-long proposition bets" (like betting on which team will win the championship) and "future award winner" bets (such as predicting the MVP or top scorer before the season starts). It directly affects licensed sports betting businesses and regulators by expanding the types of wagers they can legally offer. Key provisions explicitly add these bet types to the definition of "sports wagering" while requiring the state commission to limit them to prevent issues like insider trading or compromised event integrity. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
