No. Sporttrade is not available in New York. The state runs a restrictive licensed online sports betting market, Sporttrade was never part of it, and the company has since exited the market.

As of December 2025, a New York resident cannot use Sporttrade. New York licenses online sports betting through the New York State Gaming Commission under a restrictive, limited operator model, and Sporttrade was never one of those licensees. Its licensed states were Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia. Sporttrade also ceased all wagering on 25 May 2026 and removed platform access for everyone on 26 June 2026 as it exited the market.
Where a platform has wound down or never held a license in a state, we say so plainly. We would rather leave a gap than imply access that does not exist.
New York launched legal online sports betting in January 2022, regulated by the New York State Gaming Commission. The state chose a restrictive design, with a limited number of licensed operators and a high tax rate on their revenue. That structure makes it hard for newer or exchange style operators to enter, and Sporttrade never secured a place in it. Its licensed footprint was Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia.
Sporttrade ran an exchange, where customers trade positions on game outcomes against one another and the platform takes a commission. An exchange model fits awkwardly with New York's operator and tax framework, which was written around traditional sportsbooks. Whatever the reasons, Sporttrade did not add New York to its list of licensed states while it was operating.
The question is now settled by events. In 2026 Sporttrade exited the online sports betting market, ceasing all wagering on 25 May 2026 and removing platform access for every user on 26 June 2026. The company has filed an application with the CFTC, posted in February 2026, to relaunch as a federally regulated prediction market exchange that could in principle operate nationwide. That application is pending as of December 2025, so there is currently no Sporttrade product a New York resident can use.
We are not showing an open account or compare module on this page because Sporttrade is not available to New York residents as of December 2025. Sporttrade wound down its sports betting operations in mid 2026 and never held a license in New York. We only point readers to a platform where it is genuinely legal and available to them. If Sporttrade relaunches under a CFTC approval and reaches New York, we will update this page and its review date.
Sporttrade ran as a licensed sports betting exchange in a small set of states, then exited the online sports betting market in 2026 and applied to the CFTC to relaunch as a prediction market. Confirm the live position with the platform and the regulators before relying on anything here.
Status as of December 2025. We never invent a citation, and where a position is contested we mark it as contested.
An unavailable platform is not a loophole to work around. Prediction markets and event contracts can lose you money. Stake only what you can afford to lose, never to chase a loss, and never on borrowed money. If betting stops feeling like a free choice, step back.

No. As of December 2025 Sporttrade is not available to New York residents. It never held a New York license and has wound down its sports betting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Yes, through the New York State Gaming Commission under a restrictive, limited operator model. Sporttrade was never one of those licensed operators.
Before its wind down, Sporttrade held licenses in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia, not New York.
It ceased all wagering on 25 May 2026 and removed access for everyone on 26 June 2026. It has applied to the CFTC to relaunch as a nationwide prediction market exchange.
Possibly, if its pending CFTC application is approved and a federally regulated exchange is allowed to operate nationwide. That is unresolved as of December 2025.
