Kathy Hochul holds up a personalized Brooklyn Nets jersey during a Nov. 2, 2021, press conference at the Barclays Center. On Tuesday, Hochul announced that New York has become the top state for sports betting tax revenue, generating more than $265 million in taxes since online sports betting apps launched in the state in January. (Image: Office of Gov. Kathy Hochul\/Don Pollard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Thanks to the 51% tax rate on online sportsbook revenues, the state has received $263 million since the first apps became available on Jan. 8. When combined with the 10% retail sports betting tax on revenues from sportsbooks located at the four upstate commercially licensed casinos, the state has collected more than $267 million. That means New York has already surpassed states like Pennsylvania ($253 million) and New Jersey ($229 million).<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">New Jersey\u2019s first online apps went live in 2018, while Pennsylvania\u2019s launched a year later. Neither state assesses a tax anywhere near New York\u2019s, nor do they have the same size market from which to draw.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"NewNormal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_York_Sports_Betting_Now_in_the_Fast_Lane\"><\/span>New York Sports Betting Now in the Fast Lane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Senate Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Committee Chairman Joseph Addabbo, D-Queens, said in a statement that the days of New York \u201cwatching other states pass us by\u201d are over. In addition, he looks forward to even more funding coming the state\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><strong>The fact that we have already surpassed all other states in revenue in less than six months is a testament to the quality of the dedicated work to provide a credible product for the residents of New York,\u201d <\/strong>Addabbo said. <strong>\u201cThis record amount of tax revenue is already being invested in our schools, our youth sports programs and New York\u2019s problem gaming services.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">At its current pace, New York will likely far exceed the $357 million in sports betting tax revenue it forecast for the 2022-23 fiscal year, which started on April 1. According to data from the New York State Gaming Commission, the state received $53.1 million in April alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">While the tax amount may recede some in the summer months, it\u2019s expected to increase significantly once football season starts in the fall.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Economic_Engine\"><\/span>\u2018An Economic Engine\u2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Assembly Racing and Wagering Committee Chair Gary Pretlow, D-Mount Vernon, said he was pleased to see the amount of money generated for education, youth sports, and problem gambling issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><strong>\u201cMobile sports betting is an economic engine for New York,\u201d<\/strong> he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Starting in this fiscal year, the state will earmark $5 million for sports programs for underserved kids and $6 million for problem gambling treatment and education programs. The remainder will go towards the state\u2019s education programs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Hochul\u2019s release also cited data from geofencing solutions provider GeoComply, which has determined there have been more than 2.7 million unique user accounts established in the state of 19.6 million people since January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">GeoComply has also tracked more than 620 million transactions since then. Those transactions do not equate to bets on a one-to-one basis. But the company says it\u2019s a way to track market activity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whos_in_New_York\"><\/span>Who\u2019s in New York?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Last year, New York used a competitive bid process to approve nine operators to offer sports betting across the state. Of those, only BallyBET has yet to launch its app in the state. Those active in the state are: BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings, FanDuel, PointsBet, Resorts World Bet, and Wynn Interactive.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Through the week ending May 22, more than $7.15 billion has been wagered online in the state, according to Gaming Commission data. The sportsbooks have generated more than $516.6 million in revenue from those wagers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>FanDuel is the biggest operator in the state, having taken nearly $2.76 billion in bets and collected $226.2 million in revenues. DraftKings has accepted $1.73 billion in bets and earned $120 million in revenue, and Caesars has handled $1.54 billion in bets and generated $122.1 million in winnings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Those three operators account for 85% of the handle and 90.7% of the revenue.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"NewNormal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Operators_Want_Lower_Tax_Rate\"><\/span>Operators Want Lower Tax Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">While New York reaps the proceeds, operators have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/draftkings-ceo-talks-new-york-sports-betting-tax-lawmaker-says-it-could-be-cut\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">publicly voiced concerns<\/a> about the tax rate. Those operators did agree to the 51% rate as part of the competitive bidding process. But the state\u2019s request for proposals essentially gave sportsbooks no option but to accept it if they wanted a chance to get into the largest active legal sports betting market in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">At MoffettNathanson\u2019s annual Media and Communications Summit two weeks ago, DraftKings CFO Jason Park told the audience that the company said the tax rate and the inability to deduct for promotions make New York a \u201ctough gross margin state\u201d for sports betting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">DraftKings isn\u2019t alone. Both Caesars and BetMGM, the No. 4 operator with 9% of the handle and 4.5% of revenues, have pulled back on their promotional spending to attract bettors.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><strong>We will be taking a very conservative approach in New York until the tax environment improves,\u201d<\/strong> BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt said during the company\u2019s Investor Day conference call on May 12.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">When that happens \u2013 or if that happens \u2013 remains to be seen. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-york-lawmakers-seek-inclusion-lower-taxes-in-mobile-sports-betting\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Addabbo and Pretlow filed bills<\/a> in this legislative session, which ends Thursday, to add more operators and reduce the tax rate. That was not included in the state\u2019s budget, nor did either bill make it out of their respective committees in this session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">For her part, it appears that Hochul is content with how the arrangement is working for New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><strong>\u201cIn less than half a year, New York has become a leader among states in implementing successful gaming policies, with hundreds of millions of dollars going to important programs that will improve the lives of all New Yorkers,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0she said.\u00a0<strong>\u201cI am committed to upholding responsible and effective gaming policies that will move the industry forward and continue to drive our state\u2019s economic growth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-york-online-sports-betting-tax-revenues-well-ahead-of-expectations\/\" target=\"_blank\">New York Online Sports Betting Tax Revenues Well Ahead of Expectations<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\" target=\"_blank\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In less than five months, New York has generated more than a quarter of a billion dollars in taxes from online sports betting.
