Sports betting is legal in Arkansas through regulated retail locations and online/mobile sportsbooks. The Arkansas Racing Commission regulates legal sports betting, including online betting, mobile betting, and retail options. In November 2018, voters approved Issue 4, a constitutional amendment that enabled sports betting. Online sportsbook options expanded after approval from the Arkansas Racing Commission, with DraftKings and FanDuel partnering with in-state casino operators. FanDuel and DraftKings are live in Arkansas through partnerships with Southland and Oaklawn, with apps going live on March 20, 2026. Revenue sharing requirements have contributed to delays for major operators. Bettors can register remotely for available mobile apps.
"Yes, sports betting with retail locations or an online sportsbook is legal in the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas Racing Commission is in charge of regulating legal sports betting in the state. This includes online betting, mobile betting, and retail options. In November 2018, voters approved Issue 4, a state constitutional amendment, that paved the way for the legalization of sports betting."
"The online options for Arkansas sports betting sites have expanded! Originally, DraftKings and FanDuel weren't allowed to operate in the state. That has changed thanks to approval from the Arkansas Racing Commission. They have teamed up with Oaklawn and Southland as casino partners. BetSaracen (Saracen Casino Resort) Betly (Southland Casino Racing) Partnered with DraftKings in Feb. 2026 Oaklawn Sports (Oaklawn Casino Racing Resort) Partnered with FanDuel in Feb. 2026"
"FanDuel and DraftKings Sportsbook are finally live in Arkansas. This is thanks to partnerships with in-state casinos, Southland and Oaklawn. The apps went live on Friday, March 20, 2026. Current revenue sharing in the state has been one reason that we have seen a delay from top sportsbook operators. 51% of mobile betting revenue would have to be given up if FanDuel, DraftKings, and others decided to partner with one of three Arkansas casinos."
"Remote Registration for Mobile Apps Bettors in the state can sign up from anywhere for the available online betting app"
