The New York State Gaming Commission has unveiled impressive statistics for mobile sports betting, showing a notable increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the fiscal year running from April 2025 to March 2026.
This past year, GGR rose to an impressive $2.6 billion, a significant jump from the $2.1 billion recorded in the 2024-25 fiscal year. This 21% increase highlights a thriving market that continues to capture the interest of bettors across the state.

March was particularly noteworthy, as mobile sports betting handle reached $2.3 billion, representing a month-on-month surge of 16%. However, this figure marks a 4.5% decline compared to the $2.4 billion recorded in the same month last year. This fluctuation is an important aspect for analysts to monitor as it reflects seasonal trends and shifts in consumer behavior.
The gross revenue for March also showed a robust increase. It rose by 23.6% month-on-month, moving from $175.3 million to $217.3 million. In comparison to last March’s $161.8 million, this represents an impressive 34.2% increase. This growth trajectory suggests that operators are not only attracting more bets but also benefiting from higher stakes and better odds offered to bettors.
In practice, these figures paint a picture of a vibrant sports betting landscape in New York. As more operators enter the market and competition heats up, consumers can expect enhanced experiences and potentially more favorable betting conditions.
New York's mobile sports betting sector continues to evolve, with ongoing legislative adjustments and technological advancements likely to shape its future.
