A company spokesman confirmed to EmpireStakes.com that the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) has approved WynnBET New York for a license to operate within the Empire State. However, no specific date and time has been announced for WynnBet to start taking bets.

Of course, the Super Bowl looms in less than two weeks. The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will clash on Feb. 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
No word on promo offers, either, but recently WynnBET had an offer for new bettors who pre-registered in Louisiana. Patrons receive $250 in free bets irrespective of their first $10 bet result.
Shaquille O’Neal is a brand ambassador in Louisiana for WynnBet.
The company also was in the news and very much on minds of sports betting observers last week when the New York Post, citing a source close to the situation, published a report saying WynnBET is looking to sell its sports betting business. A WynnBET spokesman told the Post the company would not comment on a report he said was rumor and market speculation.
