PHOENIX — It took Arizona just three months to clear $1 billion in total event
wagering, according to a report released Tuesday from the state’s gaming
department.
Gamblers in the state wagered about $466 million on events and fantasy sports in
November, bringing the total to $1.2 billion since operations began Sept. 9 and
without reports for December or January.
Arizona also got a nice bump for its general fund in taxes after a slow start in
the first two months, collecting about $3.2 million.
“Revenue from these new games is strong and will only get stronger as the market
develops,” Ted Vogt, gaming director, said in a press release.

* SPORTS BETTING REVENUE IN ARIZONA IS OFF TO SOFT START
The state received $1.3 million in taxes from betting operation earnings, which
are taxed at 10%, in September and October.
“Arizona has exceeded expectations and is already a top ten market nationally,”
Vogt said.
DraftKings and FanDuel remained the most popular betting apps, taking in $148
million and $113 million in wagers, respectively.
Free bets continued to decrease, with $18.3 million handed out in November.
There were $31 million free bets in Arizona in September and another $26 million
in October.
The credits for those free bets, which are designed to lure people to the online
and retail sports books, phase out over several years.
They start at 20% of gross receipts in the first two years then drop to 15% and
then 10% before ending in the sixth year.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
