There was a lot of uncertainty in the build up, but ultimately it all came together pretty quickly. An ally of the effort, Gov. Doug Ducey put pen to paper just a few days later on April 15th. The first legal, regulated wagers in the state were placed on September 9th, 2021, with a variety of popular nationwide bookmakers hitting the market.

Key Arizona sports betting info

Now that Arizona sports betting is live, let’s dig into core details that shape the state’s market. Let’s start with who can bet:

Eligibility

Arizona sports betting, both online and retail, is available to anyone over the age of 21. Wyoming and New Hampshire are the only two states that set 18 as the legal age to bet on sports. Arizona held steady with the status-quo of 21. It’s the same age restriction that exists for the majority of gambling throughout the country, including Arizona’s existing tribal casinos.

So, what else? All legal Arizona online sports bets need to be placed inside the state. To bet with an AZ book, you must be in Arizona. Let’s say you venture up to the northeast corner of the state and visit the four corners – the only place in the country where four states touch. If you’re standing in Arizona you’re good to go. Place your bets. Cross into New Mexico? No dice. Shift into Colorado? Yea, you can bet in Colorado, but you’ll need to use a Colorado online sportsbook, not one licensed in Arizona. Finally, Utah… this may come as a surprise but no, you can’t bet in Utah. If you’re not standing in a legal-to-bet state, you’re out of luck.

Arizona online sportsbooks use geolocation tech that utilize your mobile device’s internal GPS chip to pinpoint your location. If your phone knows where you are while using Google maps, it can also place you and confirm your location for sports betting. If you’re betting on a computer, a separate plugin download is required. Don’t fret though, this technology is utilized in every state that has regulated iGaming. From the user’s perspective, it’s easy to use, and gets the job done.

Arizona sports betting law
What exactly is in Arizona’s sports betting law? Let’s recap.

20 total sports betting licenses were made available

Up to 10 can be associated with professional sports franchises or facilities

Up to 10 can be associated with federally recognized tribes located in-state

Each license allows brick-and-mortar betting and two online skins (or “brands”)

Each pro sports team is allowed one primary sportsbook on-premises, and a second “adjacent” location close by

Betting 텐벳 on college sports, including Arizona college sports, is permitted. Fans of the University of Arizona Wildcats and the Arizona State Sun Devils can rejoice.

College prop bets on individual performances are not permitted. For example, a Wildcats player to score 12+ points in a basketball game.

Conversely, you can bet on seasonal performance and awards, like the Heisman Trophy.

The Arizona Department of Gaming serves as the regulatory body for sports betting.

The tax rate is set at 10% for online wagers and 8% for retail bets.

An “event wagering license” initial cost is $750,000 plus a $100,000 application fee followed by an annual renewal fee of $150,000.

Limited operator licenses such as retail-only horse tracks have a significantly lower set of fees with only $25,000 for the initial fee, a $5,000 application fee, and a $5,000 annual renewal.

FanDuel Sportsbook – Phoenix Suns

The NBA‘s Phoenix Suns agreed to a partnership with the daily fantasy sports and sports betting giant FanDuel. FanDuel Sportsbook now accepts online bets from users throughout Arizona, and also operates a retail sportsbook in-person at the Footprint Center (formerly the Phoenix Suns Arena). The 18,000+ capacity stadium is conveniently located right in downtown Phoenix and is one of the first in-arena betting venues in the country. FanDuel was among the first bookmakers to be approved for event wagering and DFS by the Arizona Department of Gaming and debuted its product in the state on September 9th, 2021.

BetMGM – Arizona Cardinals, Gila River

The highest-profile franchise in the state, the NFL’s Cardinals, has found a sports betting, partner, to match their ambitions. BetMGM secured Arizona sports betting market access with two top-tier partners, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Gila River Tribe. Arizona sportsbooks are required to partner with either a professional team or a tribe – BetMGM has done both. As a result, BetMGM branded sportsbooks are available at Cardinal’s State Farm Stadium, in addition to each of Gila Rivers’ in-state casinos.

BetMGM was the third sports betting operation to receive its event wagering license from the AZ Department of Gaming and officially launched on September 9th, 2021.

DraftKings Sportsbook – PGA, TPC Scottsdale

One of the year’s most exciting PGA Tour stops is getting even better. DraftKings and the Professional Golfers’ Association have teamed up in Arizona to provide online sports betting and a memorable “19th Hole” style retail betting facility at TPC Scottsdale. In the DraftKings press release, they referred to it as both a “first-of-its-kind” and a “one-of-a-kind” sports betting experience.

TPC Scottsdale hosts the annual Waste Management Phoenix Open each February. The iconic 16th hole is known as the loudest hole in all of golf, and is the namesake for the ‘Stadium Course’. Completely encompassed by stadium-like grandstands, more than 20,000 raucous golf supporters can gather together to watch their favorite players. Now, mix in a state-of-the-art sports betting facility, and the patron experience is leveling up once again. DraftKings was amongst the “Day 1” sportsbooks to launch in Arizona, taking bets on September 9th.

Caesars Sportsbook – MLB, Arizona Diamondbacks & Harrah’s Ak-Chin

Caesars has agreed to a 10-year sports betting arrangement with the state’s Major League Baseball franchise, the Arizona Diamondbacks. The MLB deal allows Caesars to offer its online sports betting service, Caesars Sportsbook, to customers throughout the state. There is also a Caesars branded retail sportsbook at the Diamondback’s stadium, Chase Field.

The retail sportsbook 해외스포츠배팅사이트 is open every day for wagers on all sports. It is not just a D-Backs game day service and is conveniently located within the stadium to best accommodate public transport. Caesars also operates the Ak-Chin Indian Community-owned Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, located south of Phoenix, providing additional brick-and-mortar presence in the state.

Caesars Entertainment acquired William Hill for a sizable $3.7 billion (with a b!) in September 2020. The William Hill brand served as Caesars’ primary iGaming platform for both legal sports betting and casino operations until August 2021, when they officially dropped the William Hill name and moved forward with Caesars Sportsbook. Caesars Sportsbook went live in Arizona on the first day that it was legally allowed.

WynnBET – San Carlos Apache Tribe

Gambling giant Wynn arrived in the state of Arizona with its WynnBET sports betting software on 9/9/21. In early July 2021, the company announced it had linked up with the San Carlos Apache Tribal Gaming Enterprise to serve Arizona bettors. The tribe currently runs two in-state properties, the Apache Gold Casino and the Apache Sky Casino. Both retail facilities are located in the same general area – north of Tuscon, east of Phoenix.

Unibet – Quechan Tribe

With online sportsbooks throughout the world, and already live in states like Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Indiana here stateside, Unibet has partnered with the Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation to bring their online and retail sportsbook offerings to Arizona. The deal is for 10 years to start, with options to extend the agreement. There is also language for Unibet to cover any other forms of iGaming, such as online slots or table games if Arizona ever looks to make these forms of gambling legal. Unibet was among the first bookmakers to launch in AZ.

BetRivers – Arizona Rattlers (IFL)

Rush Street Interactive and their BetRivers sportsbook have found a partner for the state: the Arizona Rattlers. As you know, each professional sports team in AZ is permitted to get involved in sports betting, including the lesser-known entities like the Indoor Football League’s Arizona Rattlers. The Rattlers are one of the state’s oldest sports franchises, operating since 1992, and are actually the most successful IFL team in the history of the league. All of their games are played in Phoenix out of the Footprint Center, the same stadium that houses the Suns. BetRivers launched their Arizona online sports betting app on October 22, 2021.
