Good to Know
Wagering activity across spread, total, moneyline, player props, and novelty markets reached $126.3 million, a modest decline from $130.1 million reported the previous year. Futures betting added nearly $18 million to the overall figure.
Despite the dip in handle, operator performance remained relatively stable. Hold for Super Bowl LX landed at 3.2 percent, almost identical to last year result, producing $46.5 million in gross gaming revenue. That total came in roughly 2 percent lower year over year.
Retail sportsbooks contributed an additional $715,760 in wagers, though two of the three retail locations finished with negative returns.
New York high tax model again translated sportsbook winnings into significant public income. The state captured $26.6 million from Super Bowl related betting activity, with more than $23 million generated by online operators alone.
Weekly wagering that included other sporting events such as NBA, NHL, Olympics, and college basketball declined 2.6 percent compared with the same week last year. Revenue for that broader period reached $46.2 million.
DraftKings led all mobile sportsbooks with a $50.4 million handle, an increase of roughly $10 million from the prior year. That volume produced $17.3 million in gross revenue and a 3.3 percent hold.
FanDuel followed with $46.3 million in wagers, generating $15 million in revenue. Handle for FanDuel dropped 18 percent year over year, while hold settled at 3.2 percent.
Mid tier operators posted smaller but steady returns. Fanatics reported $8.9 million in handle and $2.6 million in revenue, while BetMGM logged $8.6 million in wagers for $2.2 million in gross revenue. Caesars produced $2.1 million off an $8.4 million handle.
Lower volume books saw mixed outcomes. theScore Bet handled $1.8 million, generating $419,052 in revenue. BetRivers nearly broke even, posting $53,830 in gross revenue from $1.5 million wagered.
Bally Bet stood out for efficiency rather than size, producing $64,387 in revenue on just $311,928 in bets, the strongest proportional hold among operators.
Sportsbooks collectively earned $39.7 million in profits from single game wagering. Another $6.6 million came from futures markets tied to the championship outcome after Seattle defeated New England 29 to 13, securing the franchise first Super Bowl victory since 2014.
