Gambling.com Group Limited, a leading provider of player acquisition services for the regulated global online gambling industry, announced that it has been issued a temporary supplier license by the Arizona Department of Gaming to provide marketing services for licensed operators in the state.

In anticipation of the launch of legal mobile sports betting, the Group has launched BetArizona.com, its latest free-to-use website which allows consumers in Arizona to compare legal online sports betting services. Sports betting fans can begin pre-registering for online sportsbooks through BetArizona.com starting on Saturday, August 28th.

BetArizona.com provides trusted, comprehensive and up-to-date gambling information written by Arizonans for Arizonans. BetArizona.com has rolled out a wealth of gambling resources, including how-to betting guides, analyst-driven articles covering online sportsbooks expected to operate in Arizona, a tax calculator tool for future filing planning, and state-focused surveys uncovering online betting habits and statistics. Earlier this year, BetArizona.com reported that 1 in 5 of Arizona adults are likely to place legal sports bets once online sports betting is regulated in the state.

“With more than 7 million people, two dozen land-based casinos, five major professional sports teams, two Power 5 conference universities, and Super Bowl LVII in 2023, it’s only a matter of time until Arizona becomes one of the largest regulated online gambling markets in America,” said Max Bichsel, vice president of U.S. Business for Gambling.com Group. “Whether you’re a seasoned sports bettor looking for the best sign-up deals and bonuses or just a curious sports fan looking to get some skin in the game, BetArizona.com is a go to resource for this exciting new regulated market.”
