Online Betting In Arizona

Arizona opened the door to online sports betting and stepped in full-throttle. After passing HB 2772 in April 2021, the Grand Canyon State legalized both retail and online sports betting, and by September 9, 2021 the first online sportsbooks were live.

The market is regulated by the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG), which works with tribal casinos and professional sports venues under a licensing structure that allows up to 20 licensees - split evenly between tribes and teams. Operators must therefore partner with a tribal casino or professional sports venue in-state.

Major national brands like FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM and others are active in the state, giving Arizona bettors access to deep markets, mobile apps, and full sportsbook features.

Since launching in late 2021, the Grand Canyon State has raced past early adopters to become one of the fastest-growing wagering markets in the country. The results speak volumes: in 2024 alone Arizona recorded over $7.9 billion in total handle with gross gaming revenue hitting approximately $708 million, up roughly 27% from the year before. 

Online casinos are still off-limits in Arizona, and unlike some states, there hasn’t been any real legislative momentum toward changing that.

Interesting facts about Arizona Betting

Arizona has grown into one of the most active sports betting markets in the West.

Since launching online wagering in 2021, the state has seen steady growth, consistent innovation, and a fan base that quickly embraced online betting as its primary way to play. But there’s a lot more to Arizona’s betting landscape than just sportsbook apps.

Below, we’ve gathered a set of essential facts and surprising insights - from the laws that shape how Arizonans can place bets to the unique dynamics that make the Grand Canyon State one of the most distinctive and fast-evolving betting markets in the country.

Arizona taxes operators lightly compared to other states

Arizona uses a fairly modest tax system: 10% on online sports betting revenue and 8% on retail. That’s far lower than states like New York or Pennsylvania.

Why does that matter to you?

Lower taxes leave operators with more margin to compete - which translates into better odds, bigger promos, more frequent boosts, and higher payout ceilings.

DFS and Pick ’Em both thrive in AZ

Arizona is one of the few states where you get full access to both traditional DFS and Pick ’Em games.

  • Traditional DFS lets you draft lineups and play season-long or daily contests against other players.
  • Pick ’Em lets you build stat-based slips (higher/lower, over/under, combos, etc.) that mirror the feel of player-prop betting.

Most states only allow one or the other - or neither. Arizona’s flexibility gives you more formats, more operators, and more ways to play, making it one of the most fantasy-friendly states in the country.

No online casinos - but sweepstakes casinos offer a legal alternative

Online casinos haven’t been legalized in Arizona, but players still have options. Sweepstakes casinos let you enjoy slots, table games, and casino-style play using virtual currencies, with certain coins redeemable for cash prizes.

Because these platforms operate under U.S. sweepstakes law, they’re completely legal and widely accessible across the state.

Prediction markets let you bet on politics, pop culture, and real-world events

While sportsbooks can’t legally offer wagers on elections, award shows, economic outcomes, or cultural events, prediction markets can - and Arizona allows them.

Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket let you speculate on questions like:

  • Who will win an election?
  • Will inflation rise this month?
  • Will a movie break box office records?
  • Will a celebrity announcement happen?

These markets are federally regulated, not governed by state gambling laws, which is why Arizonans can legally trade on real-world outcomes that go far beyond sports.

Arizona has carved out one of the most versatile betting ecosystems in the West - a market built around online access, tribal partnerships, and a deep menu of legal ways to play. Since launching online wagering in 2021, the state has grown quickly, giving Arizonans a broad mix of diverse legal options.

With major national operators competing alongside niche formats like social sportsbooks and DFS Pick ’Em games, Arizona bettors have far more tools and options than many states that legalized around the same time. It’s a market that rewards exploration, whether you prefer traditional sports lines, fantasy-driven gameplay, or real-world speculation through federally regulated prediction markets.

If you’re just getting started in Arizona, the best move is to begin with a licensed online sportsbook. They deliver the most consistent odds, the strongest consumer protections, and the cleanest overall experience under the Arizona Department of Gaming’s oversight. 

Once you’re comfortable, you can branch out into social sportsbooks, DFS, or prediction markets - all fully legal in the state - to find the style of play that fits you best.
