General information, not legal advice, and rules change. Check your state regulator for the current position.

Arkansas legalized retail sports betting in 2019 and added mobile in March 2022. The mobile market is unusual: only the state's three licensed casinos (Saracen, Oaklawn, Southland) may offer apps, and they collect 51% of net gaming revenue when partnering with national operators.

That revenue-share has slowed national-brand rollout. BetMGM, FanDuel, and DraftKings all operate in the state through casino partnerships.

Retail sportsbooks operate at the three casinos. Minimum age is 21.
