Filing Venue

Where to File in New York

New York mobile sports betting is regulated by the NY State Gaming Commission under Chapter 59 of the 2021 Laws. Nine operators are licensed: FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars, BetMGM, Wynn, PointsBet, Fanatics, Bally Bet, and Resorts World. Cases may be filed in SDNY (Manhattan), EDNY (Brooklyn), or state courts. New York General Business Law § 349 (deceptive business practices) provides a private right of action with treble damages. The SDNY has handled significant consumer class actions against technology companies. New York's 51% operator tax rate — the highest nationally — reflects legislative awareness of gambling's societal costs but has not translated into proportionally stronger responsible gambling requirements.
