Handle Drops to $270 Million
Meanwhile, the weekly handle of $270.69 million was the third-lowest since statewide online sports gambling started in New York in early January. The former lows for handle occurred the first week of online operation ending Jan. 9, and for the week ending May 22.
In January, the report was just for opening weekend, not a full week.
However, to put the dollars in perspective, New York consistently posts the highest numbers for handle and revenue among the more than 30 jurisdictions in the United States that have online sports gambling or retail sports wagering or both.
Also, spring and summer are the doldrums for sports wagering across the country and it mostly will stay that way until the NFL and college football seasons start in the fall.

FanDuel Continues Dominance
What has become a constant in the New York sports gambling picture is that FanDuel Sportsbook New York is the dominant online sportsbook.
For the week ending June 5, FanDuel had a handle of more than $117.25 million and a GGR nearing $6.77 million, accounting for about 63% of the state total.
DraftKings Sportsbook New York was second in both categories with a handle of $74.1 million and GGR of $2.72 million.
There’s lots of distance between the two front-runners and the rest of the eight-operator field.
In order, the rest are: Caesars Sportsbook New York, $40.6 million handle and $171,657 GGR; BetMGM Sportsbook New York, nearly $23.6 million handle and $523,774 GGR; BetRivers Sportsbook New York, $7.36 million handle and $407,122 GGR; PointsBet Sportsbook New York, $4.26 million handle and $126,609 GGR; Resorts World Sportsbook New York, $1.87 million handle and minus-$10,804 GGR, and WynnBet, $1.64 million handle and $59,750 GGR.
