Can I Bet at TwinSpires.com Online From New York

New York residents are permitted to place bets on the TwinSpires websites as the state typically embraces horse betting.  TwinSpires does require a social security number and reports your winnings.  You will also be responsible for paying federal and state taxes on winnings.

New York State is especially friendly towards the horse racing community, with Off Track Betting (OTB) especially popular with residents here.

New York State currently features both Thoroughbred and Standardbred horse racing where pari-mutuel wagering takes place.   Top tracks include Belmont, Aqueduct and Saratoga to name a few.

There are four Thoroughbred tracks and seven Standardbred (harness) tracks in the state.

Additionally, bettors may wager on races remotely through any of the state’s five off-track betting corporations. The tracks and off-track betting locations also feature simulcasting of races taking place within and beyond New York’s borders.

New York State also legalized mobile sports betting in 2021.
