A 6814 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits individuals under the age of twenty-one from gambling

This bill raises the minimum age for gambling from 18 to 21 years old in New York. It directly affects racetracks, video lottery gaming operators, and individuals under 21 who would be barred from participating. Key provisions amend two laws: (1) prohibiting licensed gambling venues from permitting anyone under 21 to bet on gaming activities, and (2) requiring racetracks to enforce the 21+ age rule for video lottery gaming. The changes apply specifically to racetrack video lottery operations and general gambling licensing under existing statutes. The bill takes effect 30 days after enactment.
