The market
Arkansas ties online betting to its casinos and makes operators share a majority of revenue with their casino partner, which kept the national brands out until DraftKings and FanDuel launched in March 2026. The field is still small, with three online sportsbooks, so offers are limited compared with open markets.
What this means for matched betting
Three books is a thin field, so check 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 don't expect the field to widen soon.
