Fact Checked by Pat McLoone

Bettors have said farewell to summer and hello to the NFL as official mobile NY sports betting figures for the week ending Sept. 10 were released Thursday by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC). Meanwhile, one operator set a weekly state record for handle.

Total mobile handle for the Empire State exceeded $416 million, a very significant $103.29 million increase from the previous week ($312.77 million). It is the largest handle since $459.98 million was generated for the week ending March 19. The state’s total Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) posted at more than $56.62 million, a whopping $48.32 million increase from the week before and the largest since $57.46 million was generated for the week ending Jan. 22. In fact, it was the state’s second-largest GGR since launch.

Tax collected by Albany: $28,880,151, a huge $24.64 million increase from more than $4.23 million a week ago. Since the launch of NY sports betting apps (Jan. 8, 2022), the state has generated nearly $28 billion in handle, more than $2.4 billion in GGR and $1.245 billion in taxes.

FanDuel Posts Largest Handle Ever

Five of the eight providers had increases in weekly handles. BallyBet is in its 11th week of transitioning to a new platform and was once again not part of the weekly report.

The biggest winner of the week was FanDuel NY with its largest handle ever in the state of more than $195.51 million. It was a huge $73.27 million increase from the week before and moved FD past the $11 billion mark in cumulative handle.

DraftKings finished a distant second with more than $138.85 million, a solid $22.49 million increase from a week ago and only the third time it has gone over $100 million since $124.48 million was posted for the week ending June 25. Caesars Sportsbook NY posted more than $40.92 million in handle to round out the top three, its largest since $41.77 million was recorded for the week ending April 30.

BetMGM also had a solid week with $22.08 million, its largest since $23.19 million was handled for the week ending June 4. The remaining handles include BetRivers ($9.61 million), PointsBet ($5.28 million) and WynnBet ($2.51 million). Six of the eight NY sports betting apps went up in weekly total GGR. WynnBet NY and Resorts World Bet did not.

Week 2 of the NFL regular season kicks off tonight as the 0-1 Minnesota Vikings visit the 1-0 Philadelphia Eagles (Amazon Prime Video, 8:15). Bettors and legislators can finally exhale for the next few months.
