Sunday’s Super Bowl game featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinatti Bengals comes just over a month after the launch of mobile sports betting in New York.

Mike Mazzeo is lead writer at PlayNY.com, a website that has been tracking the rollout.

WAMC’s Lucas Willard asked Mazzeo about the numbers and what that says about popularity and sustainability of mobile sports betting in the state.

Lucas Willard is a news reporter and host at WAMC Northeast Public Radio, which he joined in 2011. He produces and hosts The Best of Our Knowledge and WAMC Listening Party.
