New Yorkers flocked to their apps during October and bet the most they ever have in the state’s sports betting history.

The New York State Gaming Commission reported $2.3 billion in online sports betting handle for October, the highest ever amount bet in the state’s history. It was only the fifth month New York has topped the $2 billion sports betting handle mark.

Gross gaming revenue did not follow suit, however, as the state saw a $28 million decrease from September’s total.
