The Arizona Department of Gaming administers event-wagering licensing under A.R.S. 5-1301(8) and A.A.C. R19-4-106(D). The Department allocated nine new limited event-wagering (retail sports betting) licenses effective September 11, 2026, to operators including American Wagering Inc. dba Caesars Sportsbook and Skyfall 7 LLC dba Turf Paradise. The allocation is a regulator action taken under existing rule rather than a change to the statute itself; the statutory basis and rule predate the allocation. This licensing avenue remains limited to retail, in-person event wagering; online casino gaming sits outside this framework and outside the licensed perimeter entirely, pending the 2027 tribal compact renegotiation window.
