After being outperformed for most of June, FanDuel has seemingly regained control of New York online sports betting.

The New York State Gaming Commission reported $238.02 million in total handle for the week ending July 9 and $22.8 million in gross gaming revenue. This translated into more than $11.6 million in taxes for the state.

FanDuel New York reported $94.67 million in online sports betting handle for the week and $10.7 in gross gaming revenue. DraftKings New York, the second highest performing operator, reported $81.8 million in handle and $7.8 million in gross gaming revenue.

FanDuel Regains New York Footing

FanDuel has outperformed DraftKings for the last two weeks in terms of total online sports betting handle and gross gaming revenue after DraftKings topped the operator from June 11 to June 25. While DraftKings did top FanDuel over that three week span in total online sports betting handle, FanDuel still topped DraftKings in total gross gaming revenue in that time span.

The New York State Gaming Commission releases handle and revenue reports for 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 July 9:

  • FanDuel: $94,677,864
