Arizona’s sports betting landscape is on the cusp of significant expansion as the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) announces the opening of applications for sports wagering licenses. From July 8 to July 19, 2024, the ADG will accept applications to fill the three remaining slots, bringing the state to its maximum capacity of 20 sports betting licenses. This move signifies Arizona’s intent to further bolster its sports betting market, which has already seen impressive growth since the legalization of online sports betting in 2021. With 17 active licenses—comprising eight tied to professional sports franchises and nine to tribal entities—filling the remaining slots will push the market to its full potential.
The Arizona sports betting market has thrived due to several factors, including a favorable 10% tax rate on mobile sportsbook revenues, positioning it competitively within the national landscape. This advantageous tax rate has contributed to Arizona’s impressive milestones, such as surpassing $1 billion in combined operator revenue and recording over $16 billion in total sportsbook handle. The sector has also witnessed robust activities like the partnership of bet365 with the Ak-Chin Indian Community and Fanatics Sportsbook teaming up with the Tonto Apache Tribe, reflecting a diverse approach by tribes to attract customers

The ADG’s recent announcement underscores the state’s commitment to maintaining a vibrant and competitive sports betting environment that attracts seasoned players and new operators alike.
The call for new applications is a clear indication of the state’s ambition to solidify its position as a key player in the sporting betting arena. Seeing the growth trajectory with a $760 million monthly handle in March—the highest ever recorded—Arizona’s market demonstrates strong participation and sustained growth. Current giants like FanDuel and DraftKings dominate nearly 70% of the market, setting a high bar for incoming operators. However, the allure remains potent, with potential for high profits and strategic advantages due to Arizona’s geographic proximity
