Mobile + retail. Apps run through the state's casinos, including DraftKings and FanDuel.
Arkansas voters approved a constitutional amendment in November 2018 that allowed casino sports wagering, and retail wagering launched in July 2019, but mobile wagering runs through apps tied to the state's casinos (Saracen, Oaklawn, Southland). Since March 2026, DraftKings (with Southland) and FanDuel (with Oaklawn) also operate, after Arkansas Racing Commission approval on February 26, 2026. Retail wagering is concentrated at the three casinos.
