New York continue to log big numbers in the football season. The state reported more than $478.16 million in online sports betting handle for the week ending Nov. 5, the third highest weekly total since the Empire State’s sports betting launch in January 2022. Gross gaming revenue for the week was reported at more than $37.7 million.

Additionally, New York became the first state to ever surpass $2 billion in online sports betting handle for a single month, reporting $2.006 billion in handle for October.

Another Lucrative Week For The Empire State

The $478,161,157 in online sports betting handle is the third highest weekly total ever for the state. The highest week in New York online sports betting history came during its second full week after launching in January 2022, as the state reported $572.5 million for the week ending Jan. 23, 2022.

FanDuel again topped all operators for the week, totaling $215.9 million in online sports betting handle and $20.05 million in gross gaming revenue.

The New York State Gaming Commission releases handle and revenue reports for its eight NY sports betting apps, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel, BetMGM, WynnBET, PointsBet, Bally Bet, Resorts World Bet, and BetRivers, at the conclusion of each week.
