Sportsbooks in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania came in with a tri-state trouncing of the betting public, as operators combined for more than $100 million in revenue from Super Bowl LX.
The New York State Gaming Commission reported its figures Tuesday, detailing that the eight mobile and three retail sportsbooks combined to collect $46.5 million in winnings when including futures wagers. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement posted a revenue total of $38.7 million, while the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board noted its operators reaped $18.1 million in winnings.
All three states had crushing holds of 30% or higher, likely boosted by anytime TD scorers who failed to find the end zone in Seattle’s 29-13 victory over New England on Feb. 8. The game featured only three touchdowns, one of which was by Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, and top stars Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker did not score. That likely impacted single game parlays (SGPs) throughout the betting ecosphere and added to sportsbooks’ bottom lines.
DraftKings rules the New York roost
Simply put, DraftKings cleaned house in the Empire State. It led all operators in winnings for both the game itself and futures, totaling $21.2 million in revenue. The digital colossus racked up $17.3 million in game-day wagering, attaining a 34.4% win rate against $50.4 million. Its hold on futures was stronger at an eye-watering 68.9% that contributed $3.9 million to the overall haul.
FanDuel was a relatively close second in revenue with $18.2 million, finishing with a 33.8% hold from $53.7 million in handle when combining futures bets. FanDuel had a 32.4% win rate on Super Bowl event wagering and 42.6% on futures wagers. It also claimed more than $3 million in winnings from futures bets and led all operators with $7.4 million in such handle.
Caesars grabbed the final podium spot for revenue with $2.7 million, with Fanatics less than $114,000 behind with close to $2.6 million. BetMGM was third in Super Bowl game revenue with over $2.6 million, but paid out nearly $1.7 million above $2.2 million worth of futures handle. That resulted in net revenue of $938,128 from all Super Bowl-related bets.
Including retail operators del Lago Resort, Rivers New York, and Tioga Downs, New York sportsbooks claimed $39.7 million in revenue from Super Bowl wagering, while finishing with a 31.3% hold from close to $127 million worth of bets placed. BetMGM’s loss dragged down futures revenue to $6.8 million, though operators still had a strong 37.9% win rate.
A steep fall-off in New Jersey handle
New Jersey sportsbooks handled $126.5 million worth of wagers for the Super Bowl, down 25% from last year and fourth-highest of the eight Super Bowls with legal betting in the Garden State. The year-over-year falloff was not entirely surprising, as Atlantic City brick-and-mortar operators did not book business from Philadelphia Eagles fans like they did for Super Bowl LIX.
Despite the downturn in handle, the record revenue generated across the 11 retail and 14 mobile books surged 53.6% higher from 2025. The 30.6% win rate was more than double the 14.9% hold attained last year.
Fly, Pennsylvania sportsbooks, fly
Though the revenue total ranks second in Keystone State history to the $29.7 million claimed when the Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023, this year’s outcome provided a positive revenue swing of $24.7 million from last year, when Pennsylvania sportsbooks sustained a collective $6.5 million loss after the Eagles beat the Chiefs.
The $59.3 million handle was 41.6% lower than last year, not a surprise, given the lack of local rooting interests. Digital operators had a robust 32.2% hold in claiming $17.3 million in winnings from $53.7 million worth of wagers.
Retail sportsbooks came out $844,325 to the richer, a positive revenue swing of $4.6 million from last year after they paid out $3.8 million above the $9 million in bets placed. Brick-and-mortar venues had a 15.1% hold on $5.6 million handle.
