New York grants horse racing license

The local gaming commission has granted WatchandWager a license to be live and accept wagers from New York residents.

US.- Group specialised in pool wagering Webis has recently announced that its Advanced Deposit Wagering (ADW) WatchandWager.com has received a license from the New York State Gaming Commission on the last day of May.

The approval establishes that the site can accept registrations, deposits and wagers from people living in New York State. The license that is set to be renewable every year secures the site presence in the biggest states for horse racing by value of wagers placed, California and New York. In the statement released by Webis, the company shared that Californians and New Yorkers wager an estimated US$1 billion annually through ADW operations, and overall the two states percentage rise to 40 percent of the total pool betting market of the United States of over US$10 billion anually.

Ed Comins, president of WatchandWager, said: “We are delighted to be approved by the New York State Gaming Commission, who have a reputation for enhanced due diligence and demanding the highest levels of compliance. The expansion of our licenses to include New York means that WatchandWager is now available to our players in the two most populous States that allow Advance Deposit Wagering. We look forward to giving them the very best deal on the best horse racing from the United States and around the world.”
