Users of mobile betting projects from New York spent about $ 2 billion on wagers in the first 30 days of the legal bookmaker industry’s operation (from January 8 to February 6).
The most popular sports in the state are as follows:
- football — $ 600 million;
- basketball — $ 540 million;
- hockey — $ 80 million.
The Scale of the New Legal Betting Market
According to the state’s gaming commission report, the entertainment industry's gross revenue in the first month of legal operation reached about $ 139 million. The tax rate is 51%. The estimated amount of contributions to the state treasury is more than $ 70 million.
In the first 30 days after the launch of the regulated market, users from New York created 1.76 million accounts and conducted 187 million financial transactions on gambling sites.
The state broke the previous record set in New Jersey in October 2021. Players wagered $ 1.30 billion in a month. New Yorkers spent $ 1.63 billion on online betting in just the first 23 days after the legalisation of the market.
The governor of the state, Kathy Hochul, appreciated the high profitability of the entertainment industry. The politician noted that the sportsbook business can bring real benefits to the region's economy. The government plans to use tax deductions to improve the education system, support youth sports, and solve other important issues.
