  • New York sports betting has eclipsed more than $2 billion in online sports betting tax revenue since launching in 2022
  • May 2024 was the second most profitable month in New York online sports betting history
  • The Gaming Commission reported $345.4 million in online sports betting handle for the week ending June 9

New York online sports betting hit a massive revenue milestone this past month.

New York recorded $103,707,235 in online sports betting tax revenue for the month of May, its second most profitable month of all time, officially pushing the state over $2 billion in sports betting tax revenue since launching in January 2022.

However, June will likely not be as profitable for the Empire State, as the sports betting calendar is entering a lull and the New York State Gaming Commission has reported two lackluster weeks so far in the month.

June Lackluster Month for Sports Betting

Coming off such a successful month of May, New York is already experiencing a slowdown in June. The New York State Gaming Commission reported $344.47 million and $345.4 million in online sports betting handle for the weeks ending June 2 and June 9. The weeks produced $30.28 million and $35.13 million in gross gaming sports betting revenue, respectively, which lagged behind the majority of weekly totals in May.

The New York State Gaming Commission releases handle and revenue reports for its nine NY sports betting apps, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel, BetMGM, WynnBET, Fanatics Sportsbook, Bally Bet, Resorts World Bet, and BetRivers, at the conclusion of each week.

Here are the handle breakdowns for the nine sportsbooks for the week ending June 9:

ESPN BET is slated to come to New York after securing market access through a $25 million deal for WSI US, LLC, from Wynn Interactive Holdings. WynnBET is still operating in the state and ESPN BET has yet to announce a transition date.

Here are the total handles for the nine sportsbooks since New York’s Jan. 8, 2022 launch. FanDuel is the only operator in the state to eclipse $18 billion in total handle so far.

  • FanDuel: $18,506,324,648
  • DraftKings: $15,022,547,506
  • Caesars: $5,849,763,698
  • BetMGM: $3,240,287,355
  • BetRivers: $1,330,180,095
