# New York's weekly betting file tracks all of DraftKings

New York is only 12% to 19% of DraftKings' revenue, yet the sportsbook file it publishes every week moves with the whole company: the change on a year matches DraftKings' total quarterly revenue with a correlation of 0.88.

## Thirteen readings before the quarter is reported.

The New York State Gaming Commission publishes each sportsbook's dollars bet and revenue every week. DraftKings reports its total revenue once a quarter, weeks after the quarter ends. Summed to quarters, New York's number moved with the total: when New York grew faster than a year before, so did the company.

| Quarter | New York revenue | Total revenue | New York share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Q3 2026 | $188.2M | $1,329.1M | 14.2% |

## Part of it is arithmetic.

New York is inside the total: 12.1% to 19.0% of it each quarter (Q3 2026: $188.2M of $1,329.1M). A piece of any total moves with the total. The useful part is the timing: the state file is out every week, and the company's number is out once a quarter. Used to guess each year's change in the company's revenue, New York's change missed by 8.4 log points on average, against 16.8 for the plain average.

New York is where the dollars are counted, not a reason to trade. This page describes two public files and says nothing about the share price.

## Method and caveats

- Calendar quarter end; New York DraftKings handle and gross gaming revenue summed from the weekly file by week-ending date (an approximation at quarter edges); DraftKings total revenue from its filings, the fourth quarter as the year minus nine months.
- Year-on-year change is the log of a quarter against the same quarter a year before, so 19 quarters give 15 changes. r is 0.88; its 95% range, with the sample cut down for quarters that carry over into the next, is 0.39 to 0.98. With dollars bet in place of revenue, r is 0.73 (0.02 to 0.95).
- Leave-one-out nowcast of the year-on-year change in company revenue from the year-on-year change in New York revenue, mean absolute error in log points, against the mean of the others. Computed in Python (tickerz-kit Research/correlations-2026-11-12).
- 15 changes is a small sample. FanDuel publishes the same weekly file; its parent files US reports only from 2024, too short to test yet.
