The New York Gaming Commission has reported its mobile sports wagering figures for November, recording its highest ever figure for mobile sports wagering handle, valued at $2.1bn. 

This comes a month after the Empire State alrady became the first state in the US to surpass the $2bn handle mark in October, meaning total mobile sports wagering handle in New York for the current fiscal year has risen above $12bn. 

Despite the continued increase in wagering handle, mobile sports wagering gross gaming revenue did decrease in the month of November to $150.9m from $166.3m in October, but it was enough to mean that, for the current fiscal year, gross gaming revenue for mobile sports wagering has surpassed $1bn.
