New York sports betting had a very successful week after one of the most down periods since the state launched sports betting in 2022.

The New York State Gaming Commission reported more than $44 million in gross gaming revenue for the week ending April 6, a nearly $36 million increase in revenues compared with the week before.

Operators rebounded during the NCAA Final Four after state bettors experienced a great deal of success during the March Madness tournament.
