FanDuel Leads Top Four Sportsbooks in Dominating Mobile New York Sports Betting

It is becoming apparent that four sportsbook operators are dominating the mobile New York sports betting market with two, in particular, putting some space between themselves and the rest of the field.

For the week of March 7-13, New York bettors wagered about $406.4 million with the state’s eight online operators. But just one of those operators, FanDuel Sportsbook New York, handled about $173 million of the bets for the week — about 42.6% of the total.

Behind FanDuel in second place for handle was DraftKings Sportsbook New York with $103 million, meaning that the two front-runners, FanDuel and DraftKings, were responsible for a healthy majority of the market, about 68%.

Collectively, the handles of FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars and BetMGM accounted for more than 94% of the market for the week.

A development that bears watching is how Caesars performs in coming weeks, especially with March Madness wagering expected to boost the entire market.

As the New York online market opened, Caesars was among operators offering some of the more generous bonuses and promotions, plus it was on a TV advertising tear.
