We have reached the nadir of the sports betting calendar. Which means there’s nowhere to go but up from here.

According to data from the New York State Gaming Commission, NY sports betting apps totaled just $962.1 million in handle for the month of July, snapping a streak of 10 straight billion-dollar months.

While it is the lowest month of the year for New York, it was much-expected. And in truth, it was a good month for the NY sports betting industry.

In addition, NY sportsbooks combined for $105 million in gross gaming sports betting revenue, resulting in $53.6 million in state tax revenue.
