All-Star Break Brings Major Decreases in NY Sports Betting

It is the dog days of a New York sports betting summer and the four-day MLB All-Star break provided no favors.

After a nice bounce-back week, New York posted a low $161.96 million in total mobile handle for the week ending July 16 as official weekly figures were released by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) Thursday afternoon.

The number marks a $76.07 million decrease from $238.02 million the state's last weekly report and is the lowest in about a year, since $149.71 million was handled for the week ending July 24, 2022.

It also marked the first time the handle number has been below $200 million since about $194.48 million was generated for the week ending Aug. 28, 2022.

The MLB All-Star break was from July 10-13.

Total Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) generated more than $17.38 million, a $5.39 million drop for the previous week.

Since the launch of New York betting apps, the state has generated more than $25.771 billion in mobile handle, more than $2.2 19 billion in mobile GGR and $1.131 billion in taxes.

The top five weekly handles in the state:

  1. FanDuel: $63,993,246
  2. DraftKings: $56,988,162
  3. Caesars: $18,758,931
  4. BetMGM: $11,002,799
  5. BetRivers NY: $6,610,759

Caesars Marks Lowest Weekly Handle Yet

Seven of the eight mobile providers (BallyBet is still transitioning to a new platform)  suffered decreases in weekly handle.

Some were steep.

FanDuel NY led the week with more than $63.99 million, but it was the lowest handle for the leading provider since $63.23 million was recorded during the stateā€™s opening weekend (two days, four providers), which ended Jan. 9, 2022.

DraftKings posted more than $56.98 million, a significant drop of $24.84 million from a week ago.

Caesars generated over $18.75 million, its lowest ever.

WynnBET just got over the $1 million mark ($1.14 million), marking the lowest since $258,356 was handled or the week ending Feb. 6, 2022.

Resorts World New York was the only provider to show a weekly increase. Rising to $1.01 million, a $98,722 jump from the last report.
