The law in Arizona
DraftKings and FanDuel both offer salary-cap DFS in Arizona, where fantasy operators must be licensed or registered with the state. Arizona licenses DFS operators and requires players to be 21. Pick'em is available only in peer-to-peer form, from PrizePicks, Underdog, Betr and Dabble.
Regulator: Arizona Department of Gaming.
Recent changes: Dec 2025: Arizona moved to revoke Underdog's DFS license over its prediction-market partnership. The state waived the appeal deadline during settlement talks, which were still going in Sept 2026, and Underdog's fantasy contests stayed live. May 2026: a federal judge permanently blocked Arizona's criminal case against Kalshi.
