01 · The sportsbook
One of the original nine
New York started legal online sports betting in January 2022. Only nine companies were allowed in at the start. Resorts World Bet was one of them.
It is owned by Genting, a very large gambling company. Genting also owns two land-based casinos in New York State, Resorts World New York City and Resorts World Catskills.
On paper that was a strong hand. A famous local casino name, a big parent company and one of only nine licences in the biggest city in America.
It did not work. The New York market is dominated by two or three huge betting apps, and everybody else fights over what is left.
02 · The shutdown
The numbers were tiny
The figures explain this closure on their own.
In May 2025 Resorts World Bet took 9.1 million dollars in bets and kept 769,446 dollars of it as revenue. In the same month the market leader kept 108.8 million dollars.
That is more than a hundred times the difference. A business that small cannot pay New York betting tax and still make money.
The company gave notice and worked to a clear timetable. Bets and deposits were accepted up to 16 June 2025. Withdrawals had to be finished by 22 June 2025. New York operations ended on 30 June 2025.
It was only the second company to quit New York sports betting since it began, after WynnBET left in early 2024.
03 · The money
A deadline, and a brand that still exists
Players were given a clear withdrawal date of 22 June 2025, set a week before the site closed. That gap exists so payments have time to clear.
We have found no reports of New York players being left short.
The best protection here is that the company never went anywhere. Genting is still trading. Its New York casinos are still open. The old betting address now sends visitors to the company New Jersey online casino, which is still running.
So anyone still owed money from a New York account has a live licensed company to chase. There is a state regulator behind it too. That is a far better position than the offshore closures in this archive.
04 · The receipts
How we verified this record
Every claim on this page is graded by how firmly we could check it. Confirmed means we saw it in the operator’s own notice or in a document that cannot easily be faked. Observed means we saw it ourselves on the live site or domain on the date given. Unconfirmed means it has been reported but we could not prove it.
