The New York State Gaming Commission released staggering results, revealing a total sports wagering handle of $2,006,823,408 for the previous month. This marked a significant increase from the $1.76 billion reported in September, highlighting the positive impact of NFL action on the state's licensed mobile betting operators.

The total sports wagering handle in New York skyrocketed to $2 billion, setting a new record for monthly betting activity in the state. This remarkable achievement reflects the thriving mobile sports betting market.
