How we score New York gambling sites
One number out of five, built from five weighted criteria — the same five you see broken out on every review.
Bonuses & value
What survives the wagering, the minimums and the caps — not the headline percentage.
Game selection
How deep the slots, tables and live-dealer range runs, and which studios supply it.
Banking & payouts
Deposit and withdrawal choice, crypto support, limits, fees and cashier clarity.
Trust & licensing
Offshore licence, years operating and how honestly the terms are written.
Mobile play
Whether the full site and cashier hold up in a phone browser.
Our process
Each site runs the same gauntlet. We register, deposit where possible, and put the welcome offer, the cashier and the game library to work. The bonus terms get read in full, because that's where value is made or lost, and every figure we publish is tied to a dated source so the page matches what you'll find on site.
Why the scores are honest
Merit is settled before any commercial relationship enters the picture. We take commissions from some operators, but no amount buys a higher place, and a poor site stays poor. We also refuse sweepstakes and social-casino brands, which are unlawful in New York. When an offer changes, we re-test and re-date.
Help is free and confidential. Call the New York HOPEline on 1-877-846-7369 (text HOPENY / 467369), or the national line 1-800-GAMBLER. New York support is also available through OASAS and the National Council on Problem Gambling.
