Brief Background of Gambling in Arizona
Is Gambling Legal in Arizona?
Casino gaming: Casinos are permitted on tribal land. With more tribal land than any other U.S. state, the Arizona Gamily Commission reports that there are nearly two-dozen land-based casinos in the state. Meanwhile, real-money online casinos aren’t legal in Arizona, but residents can still access social and sweepstakes casinos with cash prize opportunities which are also associated with problematic gambling behavior. Furthermore, residents are able to access dozens of offshore online casinos, which despite being illegal, have been able to operate outside of the law without consequence.
Online sports betting: Arizona is one of the U.S. states with legal sports betting (view map). Both land-based and online sportsbooks are permitted.
