Real money online casinos are not currently allowed in New York. However, there are dozens of NY social and sweepstakes casinos that are legal to play. They use virtual money, but some do offer cash prizes and/or the ability to exchange virtual dollars for real money. If and when New York online casinos become legal, the Empire State will immediately become one of the biggest online casino markets in the country, just like it is already for sports betting. There is potential for the NY online casino market to see up to 31 licenses, so New Yorkers can expect to see every major online casino brand seeking a license if they become available. The battle for legalization is ongoing, and PlayNY will keep you up to date on all the latest developments. Whenever NY online casino options become available, we will have you covered with all the reviews and promo offers you need to get started.
