In June 2025, Arizona’s sports betting landscape revealed interesting trends, with bettors putting down $543 million. This figure marked a decline, representing the state’s lowest monthly handle since August 2024, but it did show a noteworthy increase compared to the previous year.
According to reports from the Arizona Department of Gaming, the June wagering total experienced a substantial rise of 19.6% year-over-year, although it was down 23.1% from the impressive $707.1 million recorded in May of the same year. A significant majority of the wagers—$540 million—came through online platforms, highlighting the growing dominance of digital betting in the state, while traditional retail betting accounted for a mere $2.6 million.
From this wagering activity, players were reimbursed $478.8 million, leaving $67.3 million as adjusted gross receipts. After accounting for $16.8 million in promotional activities, the net adjusted gross receipts amounted to $50.5 million. This figure, which reflects a 59.8% increase compared to the previous year, signals resilience in the market despite the month-to-month decline, coming in just 2.5% lower than May.
The online sector was the main contributor to these adjusted receipts, garnering $49.6 million, while retail betting contributed approximately $881,856. Consequently, Arizona’s sports betting sector maintained a hold of 9.29% for June.
### FanDuel Dominates the Arizona Market
In the competitive landscape, FanDuel continued to assert its dominance, claiming the top position in revenue for the month. The platform generated $18 million from post-promotional receipts on a handle of $177.6 million, resulting in a hold of 10.14%.
Following closely was DraftKings, which recorded $14.6 million from a handle of $158.5 million, leading to a modest hold of 9.21%. BetMGM secured third place, achieving $5.9 million off a $54.8 million handle with a hold of 10.77%. ESPN Bet also performed well, generating $4 million from $28.3 million, reflecting a striking hold of 14.13%. Rounding out the top five was Fanatics, reporting $2.9 million from a $44.5 million handle, with a lower hold of 6.52%.
On the tax front, the state benefited from operator contributions totaling $5 million, predominantly derived from online betting activities, with only a small portion—just $70,549—coming from retail operations.
Overall, while June brought about a reduction in monthly spending, the year-over-year growth suggests a robust and evolving sports betting environment in Arizona, driven largely by the shift towards online wagering.
