New York state’s relatively new mobile sports wagering has generated a record breaking $267 million in tax revenue since January. That’s more than any other state. For comparison, Pennsylvania has collected $253 million in sports wagering revenue since November 2018.
New York's mobile sports wagering tax revenue will be reinvested into elementary and secondary education and grants for youth sports programming, along with problem gambling prevention, treatment, and recovery services.
