This figure is also 15.7% more than the $962.1m reported in July this year.

BallyBet remains quiet as upgrades continue
BallyBet was the only online operator licensed to operate in New York. They did not accept wagers during the month. The brand continued to upgrade its product after outsourced its online and terrestrial sports betting technology stack.
White Hat Gaming, a provider of PAM platform solutions and Kambi, a sports betting supplier have taken on the responsibility. Both companies are providing technological capabilities to support wagering, and the relaunched Bally Bet online gambling platform.
Bally has ceased all online gambling in New York as of 30 June. Bally has yet to announce when it will re-launch in New York.
