New York bettors do have a few additional days to enjoy Bovada's products because the cutoff date beyond which they will not be able to use the services of the site is June 21 rather than June 16. Yet, New York does have a history of going after real money gaming sites, most famously in the Black Friday poker crackdown of 2011, so perhaps it is this track record that has caused execs at these two companies to act a little bit skittishly. Given that the new state-supervised interactive sports betting market will not appear for close to a year and possibly much longer than that, some feel that Bovada and Cafe Casino are being unduly cautious by fleeing the state at this time. However, any unforeseen delays in the process could push back the go-live date further. Optimists believe that New Yorkers will be able to place bets at licensed internet sportsbooks in time for the Superbowl in early 2022. Then the winning bidders will have to deploy their systems and test them prior to launch. Then the state will have 150 days (five months) to choose which companies will be granted a license. Under the terms of the rules drafted by state leaders, the Request for Proposal stage is set to begin July 1. The on-paper legalization of online sportsbooks based in New York actually does very little to change the industry landscape at least in the short term.
