Its an exciting time for most New York sports bettors.

With the online NY sports betting launch just around the corner, the majority of people in the state will have direct access to betting with their favorite sportsbook apps and websites. That said, the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) has updated their rules and regulations to exclude certain professions from being able to bet on sports.

The NYSGC already had a previous list of professions they considered to be prohibited sports bettors. The NYSGC document that listed these professions, Part 5239: Sports Wagering at Casino Lounges and Other Public Casino Locations, refers to these prohibited sports bettors as any person or entity whose participation may undermine the integrity of mobile sports wagering on a sports event or the conduct of such sports event itself. These professions include:

That NYSGC document has been recently updated to include additional professions that the commission would describe as prohibited sports bettors. This includes:

It appears as though NYSGC is doing its best to ensure the integrity of New York online sports betting will remain intact ahead of the big launch. The commission is covering all its bases to see that there wont be anyone with close ties to sports action who can bet on them in New York.

If youre Kevin Durant, for example, its probably safe to say you wont be allowed to put any money down on the Brooklyn Nets.

Exactly when online sports betting will launch in New York remains the million-dollar questionbut you can rest assured knowing itll be sooner rather than later.

Online sports betting in New York is expected to launch in the coming weeks, and there are a number of major sportsbooks coming to the state for its much-anticipated debut. Theres plenty of reasons for sports bettors to get excited. New York sportsbooks are expected to follow suit with great bonus offers available in other states, like DraftKings Sportsbooks $1,050 Sign Up Offer.

But DraftKings wont be the only sportsbook bringing the heat to New York. FanDuel Sportsbook is expected to bring its Risk-Free Bet Up to $1,000 to sports bettors in the state as well. To cap things off, BetMGM is also likely going to bring its own $1,000 Risk-Free Bet Sign Up Offer to the table.

For the complete list of sportsbooks that will be available in New York when online sports betting launches, we got you covered:
