Handle, Revenue Down – Lowest So Far

New York sports betting numbers for the week ending May 1 showed the lowest total handle and gross gaming revenue (GGR) since fiscal year 2022-23 reporting started with the week ending April 3. In fact, it was the lowest full week since mobile started on Jan. 8.

For the week of April 25-May 1, New York bettors wagered $295.18 million in total mobile handle. That is a $39.31 million decrease from the previous week’s $334.49 million.

The total GGR for the state was at its lowest for the first five weeks of the new fiscal year at $12.88 million.

Since the launch of mobile sports betting in the Empire State, online operators have combined for a handle of more than $6.27 billion and a GGR of more than $425.16 million.
