Hard Rock Digital Commemorates Launch of Arizona Sports Betting App

Hard Rock Digital introduced its new mobile sports betting platform in Arizona on Friday.

Hard Rock Digital, a business owned by the Seminole Tribe, announced a partnership with the Navajo Nation in late January. This partnership completed the lineup of sports betting partners for all 18 licensed Arizona tribes and professional sports teams.

Hard Rock Sportsbook introduced an “early access launch” at the end of February.

Hard Rock currently offers mobile apps for Apple and Android in Arizona, but there is no website available. A representative from Hard Rock Digital announced that all future state launches will be mobile-only.

An unconventional collaboration between an Arizona tribe and sports betting.

Hard Rock customers have the convenience of using the company’s sportsbook app to place bets from anywhere in the state. They can also enjoy access to a wide range of promotions and betting options on various sports from across the globe.

Marlon Goldstein, CEO of Hard Rock Digital, enthusiastically discussed the collaboration between his company, the largest Native American-owned sportsbook in the nation, and the state’s largest tribe. He emphasized the special opportunities that this partnership brings.

Goldstein was thrilled to announce the partnership with Navajo Gaming in Arizona, praising the state’s dynamic sports culture. The press release also introduced their latest platform designed for players of all skill levels, featuring a user-friendly interface, innovative features, and a wide range of gaming choices. Goldstein emphasized Hard Rock’s commitment to exceptional service and customer support, confident that it will distinguish them in the competitive market.

Brian Parrish, the temporary CEO of the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise, expressed enthusiasm about the tribe’s partnership with Hard Rock Digital, calling it a great opportunity for all involved.

Parrish conveyed great satisfaction and pride in the collaboration with Hard Rock Digital in a statement. The mobile platform’s outstanding quality and functionality have surpassed expectations, opening up exciting opportunities for cross-marketing between the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise (NNGE) and the prestigious Hard Rock brand.

Examining the relationships between Arizona sports betting partners

All 18 mobile betting apps licensed by the Department of Gaming in Arizona were successfully launched in some capacity before the March 8 deadline. Failing to start accepting mobile bets before the deadline would have led to the license being forfeited back to the state.

Turf Paradise Race Track is set to start accepting wagers on April 13 after being granted a limited license for retail betting. The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to open their permanent Caesars Sportsbook at Chase Field earlier in the upcoming season.
