For the past four weeks, mobile sports betting in New York has had a consistent theme in its official numbers for overall total handle and Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR).
Summer is here and the theme is the handle numbers keep going down while GGR is going up.
Total handle came in at less than $200 million for the first time in the 26 weeks since mobile wagering launched in early January, according to figures released Friday by the  New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC).
It is the fourth consecutive week total handle has decreased since more than $265.63 million was reported for the week ending June 19.
However, since $13.87 million was reported in total GGR for the week ending June 19, the state’s GGR has increased, posting $27.03 million in this week’s report.
Eight of the nine mobile providers in the Empire State all reported decreases in total handle from the week before, with six of the eight posting a weekly increase in total GGR.
Two providers, BetMGM Sportsbook New York and WynnBet Sportsbook New York, showed decreases in both categories.
BallyBet  Sportsbook New York, which officially launched its mobile product on July 7, will make its official debut in NYSGC’s next weekly report on July 22. Unofficially, BallyBet NY posted $67,941 in total handle, $17,051 in total GGR and $8,696 in state taxes.
New York, which took its first mobile sports wagers on Jan. 8, has a 51% tax rate, which is tied with New Hampshire for the highest in the United States.

FanDuel Lowest Handle Since Launch
The state’s leading mobile sports betting operator,  FanDuel Sportsbook New York, had its fourth consecutive decrease in total handle and its second consecutive week recording below $100 million.
The number ($80.22M) was still the highest of all the providers in the state, but it was a decrease of more than $13 million from the week before. Its total GGR for the week — $13.77 million — was the highest since $14.73M for the week ending May 22.
From Jan. 8 thru July 3, Fan Duel has totaled $3.5 billion in handle, $294.76 million in GGR and has sent more than $150.32 million in taxes to Albany. FanDuel has accounted for 38.7% of the overall handle and 46.06% of the GGR.
FanDuel NY and the state’s other top four providers handle 94% of the cumulative handle.
