Bettors in Arizona wagered approximately $822 million on sports and events in December 2025, according to a recent report from the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG).

This total reflects an approximate 3% year-over-year decrease compared to December 2024, marking a slight pullback in betting activity.

Despite the decrease in handle, the report highlights that the state collected roughly $6.6 million in privilege fees during December, contributing to Arizona’s continued revenue from regulated event wagering. Since launching legal sports betting in 2021, bettors in the state have wagered more than $31 billion, generating over $165 million in privilege fees to date.

For the fiscal year 2026 year-to-date, regulated event wagering and fantasy sports have generated about $33 million in privilege fees, including $32.3 million from sports betting and $774,167 from fantasy sports activity.

Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming, noted that the December figures conclude the 2025 calendar year, during which Arizona sports bettors wagered more than $9 billion on sports and events, further demonstrating the size and scale of the state’s regulated betting market.

The Department’s monthly reports detail wagering and fantasy sports revenue figures from licensed operators, offering transparency into the evolving sports betting landscape in Arizona.
