The Arizona Department of Gaming today highlighted a major milestone: the upcoming Super Bowl will be the fifth played under Arizona’s legal, state-regulated sports wagering framework. Since regulated event wagering launched in 2021, Arizona’s oversight—guided by state law and Tribal-State Compacts—has aimed to protect consumers, preserve integrity, and generate public revenue.

Key November 2025 figures: strong wagering growth

In its latest monthly report, the Department said Arizona bettors wagered approximately $965 million on sports and events in November 2025 — about a 7.5% increase versus November 2024. The state collected roughly $5.5 million in privilege fees for the month.* Fiscal year-to-date privilege fees total $26.3 million (about $25.7M from event wagering and $637,399 from fantasy sports).

Arizona also recorded its highest monthly event wagering in October 2025 with $967,141,269, and the second-highest in November 2025 with $965,233,844.*

Regulated framework and consumer protections

Arizona’s regulated model requires licensed operators to follow statutory rules, Tribal-State Compacts, and ongoing regulatory oversight. The Department conducts audits, compliance reviews, and integrity controls designed to prevent fraud and illegal activity. Licensed event wagering operators remit privilege fees, calculated as a percentage of gaming revenue — with 90% of those fees directed to Arizona’s General Fund to support state programs and priorities.

There are currently fourteen licensed event wagering operators approved to offer wagering in Arizona, each subject to ongoing Department review and potential audit adjustments.

Responsible play and support resources

The Department emphasizes the importance of using state-licensed event wagering and fantasy sports apps or retail locations. For guidance and safety tips, players are encouraged to visit Check Your Bet at gaming.az.gov/checkyourbet.

Svenska Spel has reported 7% increase in Q3 net gaming revenue, driven by strong product brands such as Eurojackpot and Oddset. Two of three business areas show growth, which has a positive impact on the result, which increases compared to the same quarter last year. This is evident from Svenska Spel’s interim report for the third quarter of 2025.

“During the quarter, we have awarded big prizes to customers, elite sports scholarships within our sponsorship and grants for gaming research. This shows that our operations are permeated by Svenska Spel’s purpose: to create gaming joy with care and give back to society. All of this is made possible by customers liking our games and our strong brands, which is a decisive factor behind the group’s increased revenue during the quarter,” said Anna Johnson, President and CEO of Svenska Spel.

Higher revenue for the group

The Group’s net gaming revenue for the quarter is SEK 1874 million (1754), which is an increase of SEK 120 million or 7%.

Net gaming revenue for the Luck business area increased by 7% compared to the same quarter last year. Interest in Eurojackpot continues to increase, partly as a result of two jackpot wins this year going to Sweden. The game broke a new sales record during a week with a high jackpot in September. Lotto has also received a positive reception at its relaunch in the latter part of the quarter.

Net gaming revenue for the Sport & Casino business area increased by 9% compared to the same quarter last year. The positive development continues for sports betting under the Oddset brand with increased revenue and higher customer activity. Online casino also increased during the quarter, partly due to positive customer development. Interest in ice hockey has been high in connection with the start of the top leagues’ season, which was noticeable in the hockey game Powerplay.

The Vegas business area’s net gaming revenue is down 10%, due in part to the challenging economic situation for business partners, which has a negative impact on revenue.

The Group’s operating profit increased by SEK 112 million or 19% to SEK 718 million (606), positively affected by increased revenues and stable costs. The operating margin amounted to 38% (35).

The Group’s online business continues to grow, this quarter by 15% compared to the same quarter last year. Online accounts for 65% (60) of the Group’s revenue during the quarter.

Winnings, sports scholarships and research

During the quarter, Svenska Spel has awarded 90 million-kronor prizes on lotteries with a total value of just over SEK 805 million. The highest prize was just over SEK 409 million on Eurojackpot, the third largest prize ever in Svenska Spel’s history. The second highest prize was SEK 160 million on Lotto’s Dream Prize. Sports and casino games have delivered 19 million-kronor prizes during the quarter, of which eleven on Stryktipset and eight on Europatipset. The highest prize on sports betting was over SEK 10 million on Stryktipset.

In sports sponsorship, Svenska Spel, together with the Swedish Sports Federation, has awarded 60 new elite sports scholarships of SEK 60,000 each. The scholarship recipients are active in 40 different specialist sports associations and the addition gives them a better opportunity to combine elite-level sports with higher studies.

Support for research is an important part of Svenska Spel’s strategic goal of ensuring that customers play healthily. Svenska Spel’s independent research council celebrates 15 years this year and has also passed an important milestone: over SEK 100 million has been distributed to Swedish research on gambling and gambling addiction since its inception in 2010. In this year’s distribution, six new research projects will share a total of SEK 5 million.
