The market
Arkansas ties online betting to its casinos and requires operators to share a majority of revenue with the casino partner, which kept the national brands out until DraftKings and FanDuel launched in March 2026. The field is still small, at three online sportsbooks. Offers are limited compared with open markets.
What this means for matched betting
Three books is a thin field for this method, so check that you can cover an offer at one of the other two before you take it. The casino partnership rule is unlikely to change quickly, so do not expect the field to widen soon. Worth holding accounts here, but not a main market.
Figures are indicative and can change as markets evolve. Always confirm current rules, tax and the legal age with the ARC before you bet.
