Best Sportsbook Apps in Arkansas (2026)

Arkansas legalized sports betting in 2018 and it is regulated by the Arkansas Racing Commission. The market is open to both online and retail betting. A post-PASPA pioneer: Amendment 100 passed in 2018 and retail betting launched in 2019 at the state's three casinos (West Memphis, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff).

The licensed online operators in Arkansas are DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Betly. That roster, and the state's tax and registration rules, is what actually shapes the betting experience, which is why it differs from one state to the next.

• One of the first states to legalize after PASPA was struck down, but online/mobile betting did not arrive until 2022.
• Online betting is anchored to the three licensed casinos; the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort runs its own Betly app.
• Winnings are subject to Arkansas state income tax, unlike several neighbor states.

Arkansas sports betting is live for both online and retail betting, and the apps you can actually download depend on that setup. The operators live in Arkansas are DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and Betly. Start there, because a sportsbook that is not licensed in your state will not let you fund or place a bet.

For a Arkansas bettor, the practical differences are speed of line movement, market depth, and how cleanly the app shows live prices. A good prop app updates lines in real time and shows the full menu - points, rebounds, passing yards, total bases - not just the headline markets.

Keep Arkansas's tax treatment in mind when you compare promos. Winnings are subject to Arkansas state income tax, unlike several neighbor states. A welcome offer is only worth what it nets you after the state's tax rules.

Rather than picking one Arkansas app on reputation, look at the live lines each one is posting. We pull the props that licensed books actually publish through public feeds and put them on one board, so you can see where the number sits before you decide which app to fund.
