The Empire State enjoyed its largest legal sports betting mobile handle of the month during the week that ended April 23, and represented a strong bounce back.
New York Gaming Commission reported that the state took in $371.3 million in mobile wagers that week, which was up from the $321.3 million in the previous week.
The week that ended April 23 wasn’t a better one for sports bettors, as a hold of 13% for the sportsbooks was sustained for the second consecutive week.
The $45 million in gross gaming revenue for the week was also a monthly high for the Empire State.
New York has accumulated a little over $1 billion in mobile wagers over the last three weeks and is on pace to fall below March’s handle of $1.79 billion, which was largely fueled by college basketball.

DraftKings recorded the second-highest mobile handle of the week at $129.2 with a GGR of $15.9 million, both monthly highs. It was the second consecutive week of over $14 million in revenue for the mobile operator.
It was also a good week for Caesars, which produced its best mobile revenue of April at $4.9 million on a handle of $47.1 million.
BetMGM finished fourth among the nine New York sports betting mobile operators with a handle of $24.8 million. Revenue, however, fell from $2.7 million the previous week to $1.9 million the week of April 23.
