Caesars Joins FanDuel and DraftKings at $4 Billion Handle

Caesars Sportsbook NY achieved another milestone, going over the $4 billion mark in cumulative handle since launch ($4,005,648,348). It is one of only three providers to do so, joining FanDuel ($10.466 billion) and DraftKings ($7.913 billion).

Eight of the nine providers (BallyBet is still transitioning to a new platform)  had  increases in their handle and GGR.

On the weekly numbers, FanDuel led the week with more than $92.6 million in handle, a solid $28.6 million jump from a week ago. This was a mild relief for the state's leading provider after its lowest handle was recorded the previous week ($64 million) since $63.23 million was recorded during the stateā€™s opening weekend (two days, four providers) in Jan. 2022.

DraftKings also increased to $71.87 million, up a solid $14.9 million from last week ($56.98 million).

Here are the top five weekly handles:

  1. FanDuel NY: $92.6M
  2. DraftKings: $71.87M
  3. Caesars: $25.37M
  4. BetMGM: $13.54M
  5. BetRivers: $8.47M
