On Wednesday, the Arizona Department of Gaming announced that it received 25 event wagering operator license applications, but that it has only 20 it can issue. Under the state’s new gaming law, the ADG can issue 10 licenses to professional sports franchises and another 10 to tribes. The ADG said it received 10 applications from pro sports teams/franchises and 15 from tribes, but it did not release who applied.
The application window closed Monday and, according to the ADG calendar, the agency will announce by Aug. 16 which applicants are qualified for licenses. From there, the ADG then has 10 days to determine which entities will be licensed and which will not.
