Tier 2: Likely to Launch

Strong candidates with existing infrastructure in other states, though less certain than Tier 1.

Caesars Palace Online
Caesars Rewards loyalty program is one of the strongest in the industry. Active in PA, NJ, and MI with Evolution live dealer. Their brand recognition among older casino demographics is unmatched.
BetRivers (RSI)
Rush Street Interactive operates BetRivers in multiple states with live dealer. They partner with land-based casinos for market access — a model that works well in New York's licensing structure.
ESPN BET (Penn)
Penn Entertainment's rebrand with ESPN gives them massive marketing reach. They operate live dealer through Barstool/Penn in several states and have the brand power to attract casual players in NY.
PokerStars Casino
Flutter Entertainment (also owns FanDuel) operates PokerStars with live dealer in NJ and PA. Could launch as a separate brand or be folded into FanDuel's NY offering.

Projected Annual GGR

New York would become the largest U.S. online casino market by population if legislation passes. For comparison, Pennsylvania (12.8M population) generates over $1.8B in annual online casino GGR. New Jersey (9.3M) generates $1.9B. New York's 19.5M population and NYC's density make it potentially the most valuable single-state market in the country.

The live dealer segment specifically is growing faster than slots or RNG table games. In Pennsylvania, live dealer revenue has grown 40%+ year-over-year. Evolution Gaming has already invested in U.S. studio expansion in anticipation of New York and other states legalizing. Read our NY vs PA comparison for a detailed market analysis.
