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. New York's long-running issue with fantasy sports perked up in late 2018 too. On October 26, Acting Supreme Court Justice Gerald W. Connolly ruled that the state's two-year-old DFS law violated the state's constitution. "The judge's decision was unequivocal," said Cornelius D. Murray, the lead attorney representing the plaintiffs in the case, in a statement to ESPN. "The ruling found that New York's DFS law was unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt." In the wake of the ruling -- which will likely be appealed by the state Attorney General -- both DraftKings and FanDuel confirmed that they will continue offering fantasy contests in the state.”
