Sportsbooks in the Northeast mauled the betting public as New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania operators had collective 30% holds, raking in over $100 million in revenue from Super Bowl LX. DraftKings led the way in New York with $21.2 million in winnings, while FanDuel and Caesars also had strong performances. New Jersey saw a 25% drop in handle from last year but still generated a record $38.7 million in revenue. Pennsylvania sportsbooks rebounded from a loss last year to claim $18.1 million in winnings.
Why it matters
The massive revenue haul for tri-state sportsbooks highlights the continued growth and profitability of the legal sports betting industry in the region. With high hold rates, sportsbooks were able to capitalize on bettors' inability to correctly predict key outcomes like touchdown scorers in the low-scoring Super Bowl game.
The details
In New York, DraftKings led all operators with $21.2 million in revenue, followed by FanDuel with $18.2 million and Caesars with $2.7 million. New Jersey sportsbooks handled $126.5 million in wagers, down 25% from last year, but still generated a record $38.7 million in revenue thanks to a 30.6% hold. Pennsylvania sportsbooks rebounded from a loss last year to claim $18.1 million in winnings, with digital operators accounting for $17.3 million of that total.
- The New York State Gaming Commission reported its figures on February 17, 2026.
- The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement posted its revenue total on February 17, 2026.
- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board noted its operators' winnings on February 17, 2026.
