Sports betting has been legal in Arizona since April 12, 2021, and the first sportsbook launched on September, 9 2021, both online and in person.

In this guide, we'll cover top sportsbooks, best promos, and key legal information. 

Yes. Arizona legalized sports betting in April 2021 via HB 2772, and the market officially launched on September 9, 2021. Sports betting is regulated by the Arizona Department of Gaming. You can bet online or on mobile with licensed operators, and in person at retail sportsbooks located in tribal casinos and select professional sports venues. You must be 21 or older and physically located within Arizona to wager, with geolocation used to verify your location.

Arizona's online market is competitive, with several major national operators live statewide. While more sportsbooks may enter over time, this section focuses on the top five based on market share, app quality, promotions, and betting features. 

New users in Arizona can snag roughly $500–$650 in combined value right now by stacking the biggest welcome deals. Claim the welcome bonuses first, then decide which app you like best for live betting, parlays, and props.

Compare welcome bonuses, odds quality, and app UX. Check for Cardinals, Suns, or Diamondbacks promos.

Arizona allows remote sign-up. You’ll typically enter: full name, email, date of birth, last 4 of SSN, and physical address. Verify location and age (21+).

Click the "claim" button on this page to opt in. Read the terms and conditions for minimum odds, qualifying bet, and expiry.

Common AZ methods: credit and debit card, online banking/ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Play+ prepaid.

Example: bet $5 on the Cardinals to win at DraftKings to unlock bonus bets. You can also try a simple total or moneyline.

Payout options usually include online banking/ACH, PayPal, Venmo, and Play+. E-wallets often pay fastest, while bank transfers can take longer. Check processing times in the app’s cashier.

The betting handle is the total amount of money wagered with legal sportsbooks over a given period. It counts every dollar staked before any winnings are paid out. Handle is not the sportsbook’s revenue. Revenue equals handle minus payouts, and the hold (or win rate) is revenue divided by handle.

Quick example: if bettors place $200 million in wagers and sportsbooks pay out $188 million, revenue is $12 million and the hold is 6%.

Sports betting should be enjoyable and fit your budget. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, confidential help is available in Arizona and nationwide. Most sportsbooks also offer deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion to help you stay in control.
