Arkansas allows casino licensees (Oaklawn, Southland and Saracen) to accept sports wagers, and the Racing Commission rules provide for online sports pools run by a casino licensee that also operates an on-site sports pool, with up to two branded platforms each. We could not open an official page confirming that statewide mobile betting is currently live, so the status is not yet verified.

Betting with offshore, unlicensed sites is not legal sports betting in Arkansas: they are not regulated in the US, and your deposits and winnings have no protection. We never list them.
