The state Gaming Commission will meet to discuss a New York sports betting bill for land-based casinos on January 28, 2019. An agenda published ahead of the meeting states that the Commission will look at proposed rules for regulating the industry.

The Commission did not go into detail as to what it will specifically focus on at the meeting, but it will be the first time that the regulatory body will officially discuss potential rules and regulations for the vertical.

A 2013 constitutional amendment gave the state’s casinos the right to launch sports betting should the Professional and Amateur Sports Act (PASPA) be repealed. After the law was struck down by the Supreme Court in May last year, the only hurdle to launching legal betting has been the need for the Commission to devise a regulatory framework for the vertical.

This amendment was approved by voters in November 2013, as part of a broader gambling expansion bill that paves the way for up to seven additional casinos to be constructed in the state, in a bid to bring jobs to upstate regions.
