Authorized/Prohibited Wager Types

The department’s catalog also lays out which types of wagers are allowed and prohibited in the state.

Authorized events include “sports events,” which are defined as professional sports or athletic events, collegiate events, motor races, eSport events, and Olympic events.

Authorized wagers include single-game bets, teaser bets, parlays, over-under bets, moneyline bets, pools, exchange wagers, in-game wagers, in-play bets, proposition bets and straight bets.

The department’s prohibited wagers include high school sports, as well as injuries, penalties and other forms of wagering that violate state law. Additionally, the department prohibits any collegiate wagers that could result in game fixing.

“Individual actions, events, occurrences or non-occurrences to be determined during a collegiate sports event, including on the performance or nonperformance of a team or individual participant during a collegiate event,” the catalog reads. “This paragraph does not prohibit wagers on the overall outcome of a collegiate sports event or seasonal award based on a player’s cumulative overall play.”

What Sport Will Take off in Arizona?

It remains to be seen whether any surprise sports or activities will take off, wagering-wise, in Arizona.

According to the New York Times, the semiprofessional Russian Liga Pro table tennis competition has become a popular betting option in New Jersey.

In Arizona, the frequency of MMA events within the state’s borders could draw bettors to wager on bouts en masse.

Another option with strong roots in Arizona that could draw in bettors is rodeo, given the western roots that run through the Grand Canyon state.

The strong histories of Arizona and Arizona State’s baseball and softball teams could draw interest from bettors in the state as well, especially as all but ASU softball break in a new head coach in 2021.

The wild cards, like handball and professional lacrosse, could be popular options for Arizona sports bettors as well, given the rise in popularity of the latter in the state’s youth and high school levels, and the efforts of Arizona athletes, like former ASU and Cardinals QB Jake Plummer, in professional handball.

One way or another, bettors in Arizona will have plenty of options to wager on going forward, opening new opportunities for niche sports and activities around the globe.
