Arizona Department of Gaming reports a decline in sports betting for June

The latest report from the Arizona Department of Gaming shows a decline in sports betting in June. Department spokesperson Max Hartgraves attributes the drop-off to low sports activity during the month.

“Bettors in Arizona wagered nearly $319 million during June. You know, this is a little lower than previous months, but historically, June is a slower month of sports betting and Arizona’s figures remain strong nationally,” he said.

Despite the slow month, Arizona remains one of the busiest sports betting states, ranking 6th nationally for its total handle in June.
