The Arizona Department of Gaming announced it awarded an event wagering operator (sports betting) license to Fanatics, the upstart sportsbook that will enter the Arizona market through a partnership with the Tonto Apache Tribe.

The license costs a total of $850,000 upfront and has an annual renewal fee of $150,000.

Fanatics is the leader in sports memorabilia for professional American sports leagues. However, it’s a relatively small player in the sports betting world.

The sportsbook will be live in 17 states once it launches in Arizona.
