A Profitable Year for the State
With two weeks remaining to be reported in 2023, New York has taken in $765,807,676 in sports betting tax revenue, by far the most tax revenue of any state in the country. The state reported more than $1.5 billion in total gross gaming revenue so far in the year.
DraftKings took the top handle spot from FanDuel for the week, totaling $218.08 million in online sports betting handle and $18.1 million in gross gaming revenue. FanDuel totaled $183.3 million in handle, but topped DraftKings in gross gaming revenue for the week with $19.9 million
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, PointsBet, 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 Dec. 17:

Fanatics Sportsbook will likely take over the PointsBet New York online sports betting license soon.

There is no timeline for the transfer of the license.
