One day after Gov. Kathy Hochul reported the state has taken in $1.98 billion in bets in its first 30 days of New York online sports betting, the New York State Gaming Commission released its handle and revenue reports for the week ending Feb. 6.
The total handle for the week, $359.8 million, was the lowest total handle for the state since the $171.3 million handle of its abbreviated two-day launch of the week ending Jan. 9 (sports betting launched on Jan. 8).
It’s the second straight week the Empire State has seen a decrease in total handle since its watershed mark of $572.5 million for the week ending Jan. 23.
Despite the slide, a rebound is expected for the week ending Feb. 13, which will include sports betting figures for Super Bowl LVI.

Additional NY Sportsbooks on the Way
WynnBET launched last week, bringing the state’s total operations books up to seven. It will be interesting to see just how much a difference this additional sportsbook adds to the total handle and revenue figures.
Bally Bet won’t be joining the fray until April at least. Resorts World has not released information on when it will launch in the state.
