Market Notes
- Handle and growth: Arizona recorded $9.13 billion in total sports betting handle for 2025 (up ~14–15% from 2024). Early 2026 volumes have been strong but seasonal, with January at $881 million and February at $760 million. The market remains one of the strongest per-capita states, driven by heavy mobile competition and NFL/college sports.
- Market split: Mobile continues to dominate at ~99% of handle across 12–14 online skins (FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM leading market share). Retail accounts for the small remainder at tribal casinos and limited pro sports venues.
- Hold and tax: Statewide hold has averaged 8–10% recently. Operators pay 10% tax on online adjusted gross revenue and 8% on retail. This generated approximately $53–$55 million in state privilege fees/tax revenue for 2025, directed to the general fund.
- Regulatory note: The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) continues active enforcement with cease-and-desist orders against offshore operators. No changes to tax rates in 2026; tribal compact reviews and responsible gaming initiatives are ongoing. The competitive multi-operator market remains stable with no major legislative shifts.
