New York Sports Betting Continues Weekly Seasonal Decline in Handle

The spring/summer doldrums of Sports Betting New York wagering provided another week of decreased total handle.

That word came Friday as official figures for the week ending June 12 were released by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC).

However, Total Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) bounced back by more than $10 million dollars after posting its lowest of the year — $10.77 million — just one week ago.

NY Betting Apps have been hopping in the Empire State since they launched Jan. 8.

Bally Bet Sportsbook New York is the only approved provider of the initial nine that has yet to launch.

Both spring and summer usually are slow months in sports wagering as all bettors await the start of college football and the NFL. Now, though, throw in the rising costs of products and services and the uncertainty of the U.S economy, which could be the ultimate factor moving forward.
