Lawmakers and supporters of mobile sports betting are hoping this year’s Super Bowl is a big win for New York after the state missed out on last year’s action. Gaming experts expect Americans to bet upwards of $1 billion on Sunday’s big game.

Here in New York, the outlook is rosy, with the state pulling in about $57 million in tax revenues in just the first three weeks of operation. 

“It’s been huge,” said, Rob Rosborough, a partner at Whiteman, Osterman, and Hanna, who serves as editor of the New York Appeals blog. “It’s almost exactly what [state Sen. Joseph Addabbo, chair of the Senate Committee on Racing, Wagering and Gaming promised when this was passed initially.”

While there have been some complaints about a few of the apps, according to Rosborough, mobile sports betting in the state is still in its infancy so there are a lot of “glitches” to work out. 

But New York’s operation appears to be overshadowing New Jersey’s, which was the king of sports betting. 

“’Was’ is the right word,” quipped Rosborough. “It used to be big with New Yorkers going across the border to New Jersey. But New York is the mecca of the sports betting world right now.”
