Sports properties, operators speak out on Arizona’s draft rules
| By Richard Mulligan
Representatives of leading betting operators and some top sports properties have contributed towards the first set of written comments in relation to a draft of sports wagering rules in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said that it remains “on track” to go live with the new regulations on September 9. However, before releasing a more formal list of rules, the regulator held four open session meetings to allow stakeholders and the public to comment.
Written submissions from the public closed on June 21, with various key stakeholders represented, alongside members of the public who expressed contrasting opinions about the introduction of sports betting.
