Nuvei Corporation announced that it has been granted approval by the New York State Gaming Commission to process payments with recently licensed digital sports betting platforms launching in the state. The commission approved five operators this month - Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel and Rush Street Interactive - to accept mobile and online sports wagers. Nine operators are expected to be fully operational once regulatory approvals are finalised.

The regulatory reform means New Yorkers can make wagers on their preferred digital devices, rather than being limited to brick & mortar betting stores.
