New York Senator Joe Addabbo is not happy with the recent developments regarding the legalization of online games in Empire State. It was recently revealed that Gov. Kathy Hochul's 2023-24 administrative budget plan did not include legalization of iGaming in the state, which was a top consideration of Adabbo in this legislative session.

Last year, the senator promised to make the introduction of online gaming a top priority in the 2023-24 fiscal budget, but his plans did not go as planned. His idea is to legalize two-way gambling in the state as a way to prevent New Yorkers from pouring money into illegal and offshore gaming sites or fleeing to neighboring states that provide them legally.

However, despite unsuccessful attempts to bring online games into state legislation, the senator says there is still a way. This can be done through one budget through the Senate and Congress. Mr. Adabo said the facts had to be accepted and moved on, but in his words, it would be another year of losses to illegal websites or neighboring states.

The congressman said New Yorkers' participation in online gaming is inevitable, and when they use illegal platforms to do it, it becomes much more difficult for the state to help their addiction. One of the main obstacles to the start of interactive games in the state is to ensure that compulsive gambling does not recur.

In December 2022, Mr. Adabbo admitted that the biggest obstacle to iGaming would be addiction, as it is, in his words, trickier than sports betting. It will also require more funding and coordination with Addiction Services and Supporting Countries. He also noted that excluding the proposal from the plan would not solve the problem gambling.

He added that iGaming, which has not been legalized, is generating less funding to help problem gamblers. He estimated that in the first year, the offering would have brought in about $2 billion, and that if the state did not legalize it, it would lose about $3 billion annually. In addition, this also means less help and money to solve problem gambling.

Recently, the New York Gambling Commission reported that more and more young people in the state seek help with their compulsive gambling habits. The commission noted that mobile sports betting and the expansion of cautionary games are reasons for the growing number of 18- to 24-year-olds who are now pathological gamblers.

That's why Democrats Luis Sepulveda and Leroy Comrie want to include protective measures in their state gambling ads. In January, the two lawmakers submitted bill S1550 Senators and New York Problem Gambling Hotline Number 1-877-8-HOPENY requiring gambling and sports betting ads to include warnings about possible negative effects of games.
