Find the best Arizona online casinos and apps available. Get the current rules and laws, laid out via AZ state regulations.

The best Arizona online casinos let you enjoy hundreds of exciting slots and table games using virtual chips and coins.

Because the Grand Canyon State has not yet legalized real-money online casinos, players must turn to Arizona social casinos and sweepstakes casinos when gaming online. These platforms provide a similar experience to traditional casino sites, but you never have to risk your own money. Read on to learn more about how Arizona online casino sites work and the casino bonuses they offer.

Are real-money Arizona online casino games legal?

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

No, real-money casino apps and sites are not legal in Arizona. The only states where they are legal are Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. However, you can use social Arizona online casinos, and in that space we often see plenty of new online casinos.

They allow you to enjoy casino-style games purely for fun, using virtual credits. Some Arizona social casinos also include a sweepstakes model, such as via the RealPrize promo code, where players can earn withdrawable cash by meeting playthrough requirements on Sweeps Coins or free SC bonuses. However, social casinos are primarily designed for entertainment rather than real-money gambling. Most top 10 online casinos also provide a no-deposit casino bonus, giving new players free credits to get started, albeit on some of the best slot sites out there.

Land-based tribal casinos have operated on tribal lands for decades under compacts originally negotiated in the early 1990s and reaffirmed through Arizona voters and tribal agreements

In 2021, former Governor Doug Ducey and Arizona tribes signed amended tribal‑state gaming compacts — effective May 24, 2021 — that expanded the range of permitted classic table games (including craps, roulette, baccarat, pai gow and sic bo), increased slot machine usage and authorized online sports betting and Daily Fantasy Sports contests.

The compacts could be amended in the future to allow online casinos, but tribal leaders are expected to oppose any changes that might threaten revenue from their brick-and-mortar facilities. At this time, there are no active bills or proposals aimed at legalizing online casinos in Arizona.

Mega Millions closing in on year-high $750M — here’s what winner would take home

Winner takes…some. The Mega Millions jackpot has reached a historic high of $743 million after Tuesday night’s six-number draw failed to produce a match. Tuesday’s numbers were 25, 37, 59, 68, 70, and the gold Mega Ball was 10. Despite the impressive jackpot amount, if a winner matches the numbers in the next draw, slated for Friday, their take-home payout, after taxes and deductions, will be considerably less. The hypothetical winner will...
