PHOENIX – Bettors in Arizona wagered approximately $822 million* on sports and events in December of 2025, according to a newly released report by the Arizona Department of Gaming (Department). This represents an approximate three percent decrease year-over-year when compared to December of 2024.

“Today’s report closes out the 2025 calendar year for Arizona sports betting figures, with the year exceeding nine billion dollars in event wagering activity,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Additionally, legal, regulated event wagering allowed the state of Arizona to collect more than $53 million in privilege fees for the calendar year.”

The state collected approximately $6.6 million in privilege fees for the month of December. Since the launch of legal sports betting in Arizona, people have wagered over $31 billion, generating over $165 million in event wagering privilege fees for the state.

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

The Department publishes monthly Event Wagering and Fantasy Sports Revenue Reports on its website, reflecting figures from operators licensed by the Department.
