New York State Gaming Commission publishes a 'Licensed Operators' list of nine mobile sports wagering operators by consumer brand only; it does not publish the licensed entity name or a casino partner alongside each brand, so no licence holder is shown. The same nine names appear as the per-operator headings on the Commission's weekly/monthly Sports Wagering Financial Reports index at https://www.gaming.ny.gov/state-revenue-reports (theScore Bet's report files are still served under 'wynn-interactive' paths, reflecting the earlier WynnBET brand). Retail-only casino sportsbooks are excluded.

What the legislature is doing

Bills that would change what is legal online in New York — loosening or tightening — with the status each legislature publishes. A bill that died still tells you something about the direction of travel.
