Sports Betting Overview: Arkansas

Arkansas became one of the first states to legalize sports betting after the Supreme Court overturned PASPA, passing Issue 4 in November 2018. Retail sportsbooks launched at casinos in 2019, but mobile betting didn't arrive until March 2022. The market is smaller than neighboring states, with only a handful of licensed operators. Arkansas law permits wagering on professional and college sports. The state's four casino licenses each partner with online operators, keeping the competitive field limited. Despite the smaller market, Arkansas bettors benefit from growing operator competition and promotional offers.
