Arizona’s reporting schedule is lagging behind that of other states.

The state’s Department of Gaming announced a schedule for reporting event wagering and fantasy sports revenue on Monday.

Statistics regarding the first month of sports betting in Arizona will be released by the state on the 25th of each month, or the next business day if the 25th falls on a weekend or holiday. As a result, the full impact of sports betting in Arizona will not be known until after Thanksgiving.

Arizona has now become the last state to release its official sports betting numbers each month, thanks to a slower reporting schedule compared to Illinois, which previously held that title with data released about six weeks after the end of each month.

In an email to yengols.com, Maxwell Hartgraves, the Public Information Officer for the Arizona Department of Gaming, mentioned that Operators must submit their September figures to the Department by today (Oct. 25). The Department will spend the following month compiling, verifying, and correcting the submissions before publishing the report on their website. This process is crucial to guarantee the accuracy of all figures before they are disclosed to the public.

The department’s report only included FFPC, LLC with $25,835 and Yahoo Fantasy Sports with $608.25 as the other operators listed.

FFPC recorded adjusted revenue of $24,484, FanDuel Sportsbook Arizona reported $7,137 in adjusted revenue for August, and both DraftKings Sportsbook Arizona and Yahoo Fantasy Sports did not disclose any adjusted revenue for the month.
