A large portion of Central New York and western New York might be left out of the proposed online sports wagering initiative. There are talks that online sports betting would be blocked in Central New York because Native American tribes have exclusive gambling rights.

According to casino news reports, Governor Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers discuss a deal that would allow online sports betting in the state. They think that revenue from the activity can help reduce the budget deficit.

However, there are concerns that the plan excluded areas where Native tribes have exclusive gambling rights. In Central New York, those areas are Chenango, Cayuga, Cortland, Lewis, Oneida, Madison, Onondaga, Herkimer, Otsego, and Oswego counties.

The Oneida Indian Nation has exclusive gambling rights in those counties as part of the 2013 deal with the state government. The compact included potential mobile sports betting.

Even though Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) had gained some momentum behind DraftKings and FanDuel, it wasn’t considered gambling. Because DFS doesn’t directly reward the outcome of games, matches or tournaments, it was in effect given a pass.

What DFS did was to introduce a large population of sports fans to online technology that makes it easy for players to make picks and track their results. They became familiar with the process that would become instrumental in using online sportsbooks.
