The New York State Gaming Commission reported $163.6 million in adjusted sports wagering gross revenue in March on Monday, an all-time monthly high for the Empire State.
The figure tops the previous record of $149.4 million established in January, as New York finally eclipsed $150 million after having ranged from $142 million to $149 million-plus every month from September through January. It is a distant No. 2 nationally in post-PASPA monthly revenue totals behind the $209 million that operators in Ohio claimed during their launch in January.
New York operators finished with a hold of 9.1% in March, the third March it was above 9% with at least $1.5 billion handle. The total handle was $1.79 billion, or about $6.2 million shy of the all-time record set in January that was $1 million short of $1.8 billion. New York also joined New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania as the only states to surpass $20 billion in post-PASPA handle and slotted into third overall with $21.7 billion.
