After the first full week of the NFL regular season, it is safe to say that football is back and New York sportsbooks, along with sports bettors, are reaping the benefits.
Official weekly numbers for the week ending Sept. 11 were released Thursday by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) and the state’s total mobile wagering handle was more than $329.98 million dollars, a huge jump of $86.95 million from the week before ($243.03M).
The handle figure was the highest in the state since $331.73 million for the week ending May 8.
Since the launch of mobile sports wagering in the Empire State, last week’s numbers pushed the total mobile handle over $10.7 billion dollars.
New York was the overall market share leader for sports betting during the NFL's opening weekend with 15.3% of the betting action, according to GeoComply, a geolocation company. Pennsylvania (14.8%) and New Jersey (13.1%) were next. New York's had 15.7 million geolocation hits.
