Unfortunately, you can’t play online casino games or online poker in NY. Online casino gaming has been wildly popular in NJ, generating millions in revenue for the state. However, online casino gaming and poker has been slow to catch on nationwide. Right now it is only legal in a handful of states. New York is not one of those states and the legislature has not shown any interest in legalizing them, so if you want to play the slots, double down at the blackjack table, or enter a poker tournament, you will have to go to a retail casino or head back over to NJ.
