NY Sports Betting Handle Smashes US Monthly Record in January
New York sportsbooks continued to record staggering numbers from January 24-30. In total, the Big Apple posted a mobile handle of $449.3 million during that six-day span with $11 million in taxes and $21.6 million in gross gaming revenue. When that is added to the earlier numbers New York reported for its sports wagering figures, the state obliterated the record for handle in a month.
