The December revenue report of the Arizona Department of Gaming was published on Monday. Even though Arizona sports betting reached a record high through top sportsbooks, the total sports betting activities in Arizona failed to surpass the new handle record set in November.
The Arizona legal sports betting industry concluded a highly successful year with the December report, showing strong performance. In 2025, Arizona sports betting apps and retail providers collectively grossed an astounding $6.57 billion, and reported total revenues of $557.4 million.
FanDuel set a new record for single-provider revenue in December, thanks to a successful month. Although FanDuel’s annual win rate in the state was relatively low, it still had an impressive year in the Arizona market.
$693.3 million for December
In December, Arizona sportsbooks, known for their Arizona sportsbook promos, recorded $693.3 million in accepted sports bets. This amount is a minor 2.8% decrease from November’s record handle of $713.6 million. However, compared to the $572.5 million in December 2022, it’s a significant 21.1% increase year-over-year.
December marked the conclusion of an exceptional year for sports betting in Arizona. In 2025, the state’s top sports betting sites recorded a staggering $6.57 billion in bets. This represents an 8.9% increase from the slightly above $6 billion in bets taken in 2022.
Revenue record
Despite a slightly lower handle, Arizona sportsbooks achieved a monthly gross revenue record of $67.7 million in December, aided by a marginally higher hold rate than previous months.
The $67.7 million surpasses the $42.3 million sportsbook profits from November, and exceeds the previous revenue record of $60.1 million achieved in September. It is also $12 million higher than the revenue in December 2022.
Sportsbooks in Arizona ended 2025 on a high note, recording three of the highest revenue months ever in the final four months. For the year 2025, providers from Grand Canton State collectively brought in $557.4 million in revenues, largely through top-rated sports betting apps. This marks a 17.8% increase compared to revenues from 2022.
The state of Arizona saw a record high in tax collections from sports betting sites, driven by unprecedented revenue figures. In December, $4.8 million flowed into state and local tax funds, a result of the $48.3 million in adjusted gross revenue generated by state operators.
