Senator Joseph Addabbo and Assemblyman Gary Pretlow had online poker legislation on file for 2020. Every year since 2014, there has been an attempt to push through bills in the House and Senate. Senator John Bonacic has been another proponent of online poker in New York. As part of Addabbo’s latest bill, there would be as many as 11 online poker licenses in the state, and poker would be categorized as a game of skill rather than a game of chance. There would be a 15% tax rate, similar to what is in place in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Assemblyman Gary Pretlow also has attempted to push through a similar bill.
