Phoenix Rising FC, a second-level pro soccer team, is angling to become the first non-major league sports entity in the U.S. to offer sports betting. Representatives from the club, a member of the United Soccer League (USL), were among those in attendance on Monday’s Arizona Department of Gaming webinar that laid out the process for how potential applicants could vie for the state’s three remaining event wagering slots.
During the meeting, ADOG chief Jackie Johnson laid out a timeline for the new licensees, that would go live by the first quarter of 2024, if not earlier. The application window is open from Aug. 1 to Aug. 15.
