Maybe for the first time in professional sports history, New York was thrilled with the Philadelphia Eagles success in the Super Bowl.

The New York State Gaming Commission reported sports betting figures for the Eagles win in Super Bowl LIX, which turned into an incredibly profitable day for the Empire State.

New Yorkers wagered nearly $155 million on the Super Bowl, which included future bets on the big game.

Massively Profitable Day For New York

The Super Bowl marks the end of the most profitable sports season for the state and sports betting operators. It did not disappoint, as New Yorkers flocked to their sports betting apps and brick-and-mortar sportsbooks to place the last bets of the football season.

According to the New York State Gaming Commission, New Yorkers bet $154,902,716 on Super Bowl LIX, which included future bets placed earlier in the season. Futures bets totaled $24.2 million in handle.

Not including future bets placed earlier in the year, New Yorkers bet $130.3 million on the game. Online sports betting dominated the handle total, with New Yorkers betting slightly more than $129 million through their online apps.

Sportsbooks reported $47,429,762 in gross gaing revenue for the game alone. At the states 51% sports betting tax rate, this led to $24,183,151 in tax revenues.

FanDuel Dominates Super Bowl Weekend

The New York State Gaming Commission releases handle and revenue reports for its nine live NY sports betting apps, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics Sportsbook, Bally Bet, Resorts World Bet, ESPN BET, and BetRivers, at the conclusion of each week.

FanDuel had the best Super Bowl weekend out of the nine online sportsbooks in the state. FanDuel reported more than $56 million in handle for the Super Bowl, beating out DraftKings total of $40.4 million.

BetMGM reported the third highest online sports betting handle total for the game, with a little more than $12 million.

Here are the handle totals for each of the online sportsbooks:

FanDuel topped all operators in revenue for the Super Bowl as well, reporting more than $22 million for the game. DraftKings had the second most profitable day, with more than $10.5 million.
