New York Sports Betting Bill Requiring Monthly Statements Heads to Governor

A measure that would make New York the first state to require monthly electronic statements from sports betting operators is now awaiting Governor Kathy Hochul’s decision. The bill, A10329, passed the Senate on Tuesday with a unanimous 61‑0 vote after the Assembly had already approved it in March by 143‑0.

Assembly Member Rebecca Kassay introduced the bill earlier this year, which gives sportsbook customers a clear record of their activity. Each statement would show deposits made during the month, winnings, losses, and the number and size of wagers. 

“Equipping New Yorkers with key data surrounding gaming activity and behavior bolsters informed participation and is critical in reducing problem gambling in our communities,” Kassay said in March. “This bill modernizes consumer protections to ensure that mobile sports betting platforms operate responsibly in our state while prioritizing the well-being of our residents.”

What does the bill say?

The monthly account activity  statements must be delivered electronically, through push notifications, and remain accessible in the user’s account.

Bettors will see the total deposits made during the month, the overall amount wagered, and a breakdown of winnings and losses. It must also show the net gain or loss, the number of bets placed, and the total time spent logged into the platform. Operators are further required to provide an itemized list of promotional credits, bonuses, or free wagers used.

Beyond financial information, the bill insists on a clear section for responsible gaming. Each statement must highlight resources such as the state’s voluntary self‑exclusion program and problem gambling assistance services. Customers will also have access to their lifetime wagering history.

The New York State Gaming Commission will also be mandated to “promulgate regulations establishing standardized formatting, clarity requirements, and any additional disclosures necessary to ensure such statements are readily understandable to authorized sports bettors.”
