Poker Players Alliance (PPA)<\/a> has continued its campaign for the legalization of online poker and is now pushing for New York to lift the ban on online gambling. The PPA has campaigned aggressively for a number of years and was happy to see Pennsylvania legalize online gambling in October 2018.<\/p>\n New York is now seen by many as the next state to move forward with their iGaming legislation. Currently only Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania<\/strong> have legalized online gambling. New York is one of the larger and wealthier states in the U.S and has taken steps towards pushing for online gambling legislation in the last 24 months. <\/p>\n In June 2016, the New York State Senate was able to pass State Sen. John Bonacic\u2019s S5302 measure<\/a>, which is one of the online poker bill in the state\u2019s legislative branch. Senators voted a resounding 53-5 in favor of the bill, which makes it ready for consolidation with the Assembly\u2019s version of the bill.<\/p>\n While the online poker bill went through smoothly in the Senate, it met with a lot of opposition from the other half of the chamber. <\/p>\n
