Gambling and Casino Collections

Gambling or casino debts legally incurred outside of New York State are recoverable by the house.  However, unless specifically authorized by statute, gambling losses incurred in New York State are recoverable by the loser.

Under New York’s General Obligations Law, all wagers, bets or stakes, made to depend upon any race, or upon any gaming by lot or chance, or upon any lot, chance, casualty, or unknown or contingent event whatever, shall be unlawful.  The law permits the unfortunate bettor to recover the wager.
