Services · Mobile app development · Casino apps
Codeeo offers casino app development New York operators licensed by the New York State Gaming Commission can put in front of guests: resort and players club apps for commercial casinos, mobile sports wagering apps for licensed operators, and loyalty products that link the two. New York permits mobile sports wagering through licensed operators but does not allow online casino games, so every build respects that line and uses location checks to enforce it.
The city's gaming map is changing. In December 2025 the Commission approved three downstate casino licenses, two in Queens and one in the Bronx, so operators are planning guest apps now for venues that will open over the coming years. The three are Bally's Bronx, Hard Rock Metropolitan Park and an expanded Resorts World New York City at Aqueduct.

Inside a New York build
A New York gaming app serves a very mixed audience. Residents of all five boroughs, commuters from Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey, and visitors staying in Manhattan hotels all need different things, and many of them arrive by subway rather than by car. A casino in Queens or the Bronx has to explain the trip from Midtown as clearly as it explains its players club.
Regulation shapes the rest. Mobile sports wagering is allowed for adults 21 and over who are physically inside the state, through operators the Commission has licensed. Online slots and table games are not authorized, and a state law signed in December 2025 bans dual-currency sweepstakes casinos and the businesses that support them. These are the capabilities we build within those rules, each configurable per venue so a Bronx property and an upstate property can share one platform.
For a licensed sports wagering app, bets are accepted only when the device is verified inside New York. Geolocation checks catch VPNs and spoofing, and handle the tricky borders with New Jersey and Connecticut that commuters cross every day.
A commuter on the wrong side of the Hudson cannot place a bet.
Hotel booking, restaurant reservations, show tickets, floor maps and offers for a commercial casino, with transit directions from Manhattan, Brooklyn and the airports alongside parking information. Accessible routes, coat check, dress codes and age rules for the gaming floor are answered in the app, so guests arrive knowing what to expect.
A first visit is planned before the guest leaves home.
One rewards account across the casino floor, the hotel and, where the operator also holds a mobile sports wagering license, the betting app, with points and tier status visible in both places.
Guests see one balance wherever they play.
Identity verification at account opening, age checks set to 21, duplicate account detection and document review queues for cases the automated check cannot resolve.
Underage and duplicate accounts are refused at signup.
Deposit, wager and time limits, cooling-off and self-exclusion, with support details for New York's problem gambling services, including the HOPEline, shown on every account screen and in every language the app supports.
Help is always one tap away.
The New York SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for private information and sets breach notice duties. We build encryption, access controls, logging and an incident runbook that your security team can use when something goes wrong.
Safeguards documented for your auditors and the Commission.
If a venue uses face or fingerprint recognition at entry or for players club sign-in, New York City law requires clear signage for commercial establishments that collect biometric identifiers. We design consent screens and signage text, and avoid biometrics where a card or code works.
Biometric use is disclosed and kept to a minimum.
Deposits and withdrawals for licensed sports wagering through the methods your processor supports, such as ACH, debit cards and digital wallets, with anti-money laundering monitoring and statements players can download.
Money movements are traceable from deposit to payout.
A back office for compliance, payments, support and marketing teams, with exports in the formats the New York State Gaming Commission asks for, audit trails and change logs for every configuration change.
Reporting is generated from live records, not assembled by hand.
New York sports calendars drive traffic. The app can surface watch parties, restaurant specials and show tickets around big games, and for licensed wagering operators, promotions that comply with the Commission's advertising rules and never target people under 21 or those who have excluded themselves.
Game nights fill the venue without breaking advertising rules.
Who this is for
Every client we take on in New York holds, or is formally applying for, a license from the Gaming Commission, or is a tribal nation operating under its compact, or is a supplier to one of them. We do not build online casino products for New York players, because state law does not allow them, and we do not build sweepstakes casinos anywhere. Within those limits, the four groups below cover most of our work in the state. If your idea sits outside them, we will explain why and, where possible, suggest a lawful version such as a rewards or guest services app that still reaches your audience.
Operators behind the new casino projects in Queens and the Bronx face years of construction before opening day. A guest app can start sooner, building a rewards list, sharing progress and offering early sign-up, then grow into the full resort app as the venue opens. We plan the app in phases that match the build schedule. Hiring is another early use: a staff app for onboarding, training records and shift scheduling can be ready before the doors open, then stay in use for floor teams afterward.
Start with rewards, add the floor features at opening.
Your app already takes bets in New York, and you want to improve it: faster account opening, better responsible gaming tools, a cleaner wallet or a loyalty link to a land-based partner. We work inside your change control process and prepare the documentation the Commission needs for each change. We can also audit your current flows against the Commission's responsible gaming and advertising requirements and suggest fixes, ranked by risk, before any new feature work starts.
Casinos and video lottery facilities outside the city draw weekend guests from New York City who need to plan travel and stays. A resort app with hotel packages, event tickets and players club access helps them commit to the trip, and gives your marketing team a direct channel to your members. Bus and rail options from the city, plus group trip bookings for clubs and birthday parties, are features we add often for properties a few hours from Manhattan.
Tribal casinos in New York operate under compacts with the state and the oversight of each nation's own gaming authority. Suppliers based in the city serve both tribal and commercial operators. We build guest apps, players club tools and supplier SDKs, and work with the relevant authority on what must be reviewed. Supplier SDKs are built so each operator can configure branding, limits and reporting without changing your core code.
Approval sits with the operator's regulator.
Engagement options
Codeeo has no New York office. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and collaborates remotely with clients in New York, running discovery sessions, reviews and demos by video call. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. Operators usually start with a fixed scope release, then move to a retainer as new venues and features come online, or take a dedicated team for a longer program of work. In every case the code, cloud accounts and data stay with the licensed entity, and handover notes are written so an internal team can take over.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native iOS and Android or cross platform, chosen around your wagering platform, geolocation and identity vendors, and the Commission's technical requirements. Infrastructure is set up in your own cloud account, with monitoring and backups ready on launch day.

No, only mobile sports wagering through licensed operators.
New York allows mobile sports wagering for adults 21 and over who are inside the state, through operators licensed by the New York State Gaming Commission. Online slots, table games and poker are not authorized, although bills to legalize them have been introduced. We build casino guest apps and licensed wagering apps, and we will not build online casino features for New York until the law allows them and your entity holds the license. If the law changes, the same account, identity and wallet foundations can be extended under a new approval.
