New York state gambling regulators approved online sports-betting licenses Monday for nine operators including FanDuel Group, DraftKings Inc. and BetMGM to operate in the new market.
紐約州博彩業監管機構週一批准了FanDuel Group、DraftKings Inc.和BetMGM等九家運營商在新市場運營的在線體育博彩牌照。
The companies' sports-betting revenue would be taxed at 51%, one of the highest among states where sports wagering is legal, said regulators. Still, New York's huge population represents a potentially lucrative mobile betting market for gambling companies. New York has estimated that mobile gambling will eventually generate about $482 million in annual tax revenue from a $1 billion sports wagering market.
監管機構説，這些公司的體育博彩收入將被徵收51%的税，這是體育博彩合法的州中税率最高的州之一。儘管如此，對於博彩公司來説，紐約龐大的人口代表着一個潛在的有利可圖的移動博彩市場。紐約估計，移動博彩最終將從10億美元的體育博彩市場獲得約4.82億美元的年度税收。
The New York State Gaming Commission voted to approve two groups of betting operators for 10-year licenses on Monday. In one group, FanDuel organized with DraftKings; the online division of Bally's Corp.; and BetMGM, a partnership of MGM Resorts International and Entain PLC.
週一，紐約州博彩委員會(New York State Gaming Commission)投票批准兩組博彩運營商獲得為期10年的牌照。在一個小組中，FanDuel與DraftKings、Bally‘s Corp.的在線部門以及米高梅度假村國際(MGM Resorts International)和Entain PLC的合作伙伴BetMGM組織了合作。
The other group includes Rush Street Interactive Inc.; Caesars Entertainment Inc.; the online division of Wynn Resorts Ltd.; PointsBet New York LLC; and Empire Resorts Inc. doing business as Resorts World. The group also includes Kambi Group PLC providing some betting technology.
另一家集團包括Rush Street Interactive Inc.、凱撒娛樂公司(Caesars Entertainment Inc.)、永利度假村有限公司(Wynn Resorts Ltd.)的在線部門、PointsBet New York LLC和帝國度假村(Empire Resorts Inc.)，後者以度假村世界(Resorts World)的身份開展業務。該集團還包括坎比集團(Kambi Group PLC)，提供一些博彩技術。
This means that New Yorkers will be able to make bets on their mobile phones, after the state had previously limited sports betting to wagers made in person at casinos.
這意味着紐約人將可以在手機上下注，此前該州曾將體育博彩限制在賭場親自下注。
New York is "vital to ensuring nationwide leadership in sports betting and iGaming over time," said BetMGM Chief Executive Adam Greenblatt in a statement.
BetMGM首席執行官亞當·格林布拉特(Adam Greenblatt)在一份聲明中表示，隨着時間的推移，紐約對於確保體育博彩和iGaming在全國範圍內的領先地位至關重要。
