(AsiaGameHub) – Arizona is set to open a new application period for event wagering licenses next month.
US.- The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) has revealed plans to start accepting fresh applications for event wagering licenses, signaling a further expansion of the state’s regulated sports betting sector. This application phase will be active from June 26 through July 10, 2026, concluding at 5pm Arizona time, and all submissions must be finalized within this timeframe.
According to state legislation, specifically A.R.S. §5‑1304 and A.A.C. R19‑4‑105 and 106, the ADG is required to set aside a minimum of one license for an Arizona tribe and another for an Arizona sports franchise.
Event wagering became legal in Arizona in 2021. Since its inception, gamblers have wagered $33.9bn, contributing almost $179.9m in privilege fees to the state. The foundational legislation set a limit of 20 operator licenses for the market, equally divided between tribes and sports franchises.
At present, 14 operators hold licenses. The ADG has consistently reopened application periods, with the most recent occurring in July 2024, to fill any vacant positions.
Potential applicants are advised to consult the agency’s online resources to guarantee adherence to the comprehensive application criteria. The ADG has reaffirmed that submissions received after the July 10 deadline will not be taken into consideration.
Cliff Holden, the ADG’s Assistant Director of Certification and Licensing, commented that the regulatory body remains “dedicated to consumer protection and a thorough licensing review process”.
