State of Play’s TL;DR
- A New York bill would require sportsbooks to send players monthly statements starting Jan. 1.
- A10329 just awaits Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature to become law.
New York could become the first US state to require sportsbooks to send players monthly betting statements, after both chambers of the state Legislature approved bill A10329.
The New York Senate unanimously passed the measure after the Assembly had already signed off on it, sending the bill to Gov. Kathy Hochul for review.
If she signs it, the new requirement would take effect on Jan. 1.
What the monthly statements would include
Under the bill, regulated sportsbooks would have to provide customers with a monthly summary of their betting activity.
Those statements would include:
- Deposits
- Wagers
- Winnings
- Losses
- Net win or loss
- Total wagers
- Time spent
- Bonuses and credits
- Information on responsible gambling tools
- Access to betting history
The stated goal is to help bettors better track their activity and spot possible warning signs of problem gambling. The proposal would not directly change the tax revenue generated by legal sports betting.
What happens next
The bill is now waiting on Hochul’s decision. No lawmakers voted against it during the review process, a sign of broad support for the measure.
If enacted, the mandate would begin at the start of 2027 and would apply to regulated sportsbooks in New York. For players, the main practical change would be a regular record of gambling activity delivered by their operator rather than relying only on in-app account history.
For now, the remaining open question is whether the governor signs the bill and, if so, how the state ultimately handles implementation details for the new reporting requirement.
