New York Sportsbooks Achieved Record Revenue in January 2024
New York, N.Y. (February 12, 2024) — It appears that the sports betting industry in New York experienced significant growth in January 2024. The key points are as follows:
- Record-Breaking Revenue: New York sports betting operators achieved a record-setting revenue of $211,504,815 in January. This marks the second consecutive month of breaking records.
- Monthly Growth: The January revenue shows a 12.32% increase from the previous month, December 2023, where gaming revenue was $188.30 million.
- Yearly Growth: In comparison to January 2023, there was a substantial 41.54% increase in revenue. In January 2023, the revenue was $149.4 million.
- High Tax Rate: The state imposes a high tax rate of 51% on sports betting operators. Despite complaints from the sportsbooks about the high tax rate, it has remained unchanged.
- Tax Revenue: The high tax rate resulted in the state collecting a record $107.9 million in tax revenue in January.
- Leading Operators: FanDuel and DraftKings emerged as the leading operators among New York licensees in January.
These figures indicate a thriving sports betting market in New York, with both month-to-month and year-over-year growth. The high tax rate, while a point of contention, has contributed significantly to state revenue.
