The Arizona Department of Gaming has reported its sports wagering activity for March 2026, as total revenue increased 90.3% to $47.6m, led by DraftKings which grew adjusted gross event wagering receipts 62.6% to nearly $14.9m. 

Online wagering accounted for $47.2m of Arizona operator’s total revenue for March 2026, equating to a rise of 93.1%. Retail operations generated just over $383,458 of revenue and decreased 32.9%. 

The significant increase in revenue was produced despite a 5.7% year-over-year decrease in Arizona’s total sports betting handle to $836.9m, of which online wagering drove $833.7m and fell 5.5%. The remaining $3.1m of handle generated by retail wagering represents a decrease of 43.7%. 

FanDuel was a close second to DraftKings after reporting just over $14.5m of revenue for March 2026, equating to an increase of 37.2%. Behind the two operators, BetMGM accounted for $6.8m of revenue in Arizona, while bet365 and Caesars Sportsbook produced $2.1m and $2.9m, respectively. 

Fanatics Sportsbook generated $4.5m of revenue in Arizona, with every fellow operator currently licensed in the state failing to eclipse the $1m revenue mark for March 2026. 

On April 14, the Arizona Department of Gaming launched a new on-demand responsible gambling initiative to offer free self-paced training to residents and those currently working within the industry.

The training is organized across three self-paced phases, covering the fundamentals of the risks associated with gambling, how problem gambling differs from safe play and connecting with others to address the issue.

Those taking part in the initiative will also be able to go through optional continued learning quizzes at the conclusion of each phase.
