New York Reports Massive Sports Betting Month of September
New York state has reported a massive month for sports betting in September, with total wagers reaching record levels. According to data from Sports Betting Dime, New York sportsbooks saw nearly $700 million in total handle for the month, shattering previous records and marking a significant increase from the same period last year.
The surge in sports betting activity can be attributed in part to the start of the NFL season, as well as a number of high-profile sporting events taking place in September. With major leagues such as the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL all in full swing, sports fans had plenty of opportunities to place bets on their favorite teams and players.
One of the biggest drivers of the increased sports betting activity in New York was the launch of mobile sports betting in the state earlier this year. With the ability to place bets from the comfort of their own homes, New Yorkers have been flocking to online sportsbooks in droves, driving up total handle numbers significantly.
In addition to the popularity of mobile sports betting, the recent legalization of in-person sports betting at select casinos and sportsbooks across the state has also played a role in the surge in wagering activity. New Yorkers can now place bets at a number of locations throughout the state, providing even more opportunities for sports fans to get in on the action.
The growth of sports betting in New York is a positive sign for the state’s gaming industry, as well as for sports fans who have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to legally place bets on their favorite teams. With the success of September’s numbers, the future looks bright for sports betting in New York, with even more growth expected in the months to come.
