AZ Ranks Sixth in Nation
On a national level, Arizona ranked sixth for monthly betting handle, just behind Pennsylvania. FanDuel Arizona led the state in total wagers with $317.1 million, followed by DraftKings at $293.7 million.
In revenue, DraftKings AZ edged ahead with $28.8 million compared with FanDuel’s $26.2 million. BetMGM, Fanatics, and bet365 rounded out the top five operators in both handle and revenue, maintaining their positions from previous months.
The strong October numbers reflect increasing engagement in Arizona’s sports betting market, driven by high-profile events and growing familiarity with online and retail sportsbooks. Analysts expect that momentum continued into November, potentially setting new records nationwide once all state totals are reported.
