US.- New York’s sports betting handle totalled $1.4bn in July. That’s a drop of 15.2 per cent from June 2025 and the lowest monthly amount since $1.26bn in July 2024.
According to the New York State Gaming Commission, gross gaming revenue was $155.8m, up 10.6 per cent year-over-year but down 24.8 per cent from June 2025. The hold was 11.1 per cent.

New York City mayor Eric Adams has vetoed the City Council’s disapproval of Bally’s Bronx casino plan. The decision renews the chances that Bally’s could win one of the three casino licences going in the state. The veto was announced two weeks after the council rejected a zoning change that the company needed to advance in the process.
Bally’s is one of eight casino applications for three licences, which are expected to be awarded by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) by the end of 2025. It proposed a complex that would include a 500,000-square-foot gaming floor, a 500-room hotel with a spa and meeting space, shops and a 2,000-seat event centre. It would be located next to the Trump Organization’s public golf course at Ferry Point in the East Bronx.
