The dawn of Arizona sports betting is creeping ever closer, with users having the chance for early registration with several sports betting opertors on Saturday morning.

The idea behind early registration, which begins just after midnight local time for sports betting, is to obtain special welcoming offers to new Arizona bettors.

And then bettors will be able to hit the ground running once legalized sports betting begins in Arizona at 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 9. Sportsbooks and betting apps in Arizona will be live in time for NFL betting.

In addition, daily fantasy sports in Arizona can also go live on Saturday.

While we await final word on which sportsbook licenses have been approved by the Arizona Department of Gaming on Friday, we know that several of the biggest players in the marketplace have alliances in place, either with Arizona tribes or professional sports teams.

That’s because the state’s new gaming compact allocates 20 gaming operator’s licenses, split evenly among tribes and teams.

Four sportsbooks — FanDuel (partnering with the Phoenix Suns); Penn National Gaming/Barstool Sports (partnering with Phoenix International Raceway); BetMGM (partnering with Arizona Cardinals and Gila River Community); DraftKings (teaming with PGA Tour and TPC Scottsdale) — have been licensed by the department to offer sports betting in the state.
