New York's state constitution bans all unauthorized gambling and restricts the types of authorized gambling to (1) the state lottery, (2) parimutuel betting on horse races, (3) bingo and raffles by charitable organizations, and (4) no more than seven casino licenses. (I remember this from when the casino amendment was proposed; I voted against it because arbitrarily limiting the number of licenses stunk of corruption. If you're going to legalize gambling just legalize it all the way.) Without a constitutional amendment, which in New York requires the approval of two consecutive legislatures to pass, it looks like daily fantasy is dead in this state.
