Start a Sportsbook in the Buffalo Area
New York is in the process of allowing sportsbooks at designated casino locations, but fear not if you are a bookie operating in the Buffalo area! Bookies and agents still will enjoy a tremendous edge as we highlight below. It has never been a better time to start your own sportsbook.
Benefits to Starting a Sportsbook in Buffalo
States that have opened up sportsbooks since this past May's Supreme Court ruling that legalizes sports wagering demonstrate that, while the operations look nice, have plenty of offerings and the apps are slick......what about those damn taxes. New Jersey imposes a 13% tax on Web sports betting. OUCH! Bookies obviously don't report your winnings to the IRS. This is left up to the player to do so.
Anonymity, a wider selection of sports betting options, futures, props and often better lines are just a few of the advantages bookies offer to area sports bettors.

When Will I Be Able to Bet Online With a NY-Based Site or App?
A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision opened the doors for legalized sports betting in the United States.
In 2013, New York passed a law to allow sports betting at four on-site locations. After lying dormant for the past five years, the law could be revived and put into action after the Supreme Court's decision in the New Jersey case. The New York State Gaming Commission is aiming to complete regulations "in the short term" for the four locations specified in the 2013 law. Legislation that would have allowed for full-scale sports betting in New York failed in June 2018, but could be re-introduced in 2019.
Whereas internationally-licensed sportsbooks (also referred to as offshore sportsbooks) do not impose a tax on wagers, individual U.S. states will. For example, New Jersey imposes a 10.75% tax at its newly opened sportsbooks and 13% tax for online wagering.
