Most American folks associate the Twinspires brand with horse racing. Well, there is a reason why this is the case. Twinspires first emerged as a horse racing brand all the way back in 2007 in Arizona. Twinspires quickly enjoyed massive success and it expanded its operations to 30 other states. For a longtime, Twinspires continued to operate as a horse racing platform but that changed in 2018 soon after the strike down of the blanket ban on all online sports betting services. With online sports betting services now legalized, Twinspires decided to diversify and venture into online sports betting. Instead of using the name Twinspires, it chose to operate as BetAmerica.
BetAmerica found the going tough in an environment dominated by other leading online sports betting brands. Against this background, the plug was pulled on BetAmerica as an online sports betting brand. Some revamps were made and BetAmerica transformed (or some would say reverted) into Twinspires Sportsbook. Amongst the very first states that Twinspires Sportsbook opened operations in is the state of Arizona.
When did Twinspires Launch in Arizona
As a state, Arizona legalized online sports betting services in April 2021. It is during that time that the state invited applications from prospective online sportsbooks looking to set up shop in the state. Numerous applications were received and some were approved. Among those approved is Twinspires Sportsbook. Twinspires Sportsbooks just like many other sportsbooks approved in Virginia are stilling finessing things in the background and haven’t as yet gone live. There is a general feeling that most will go live just before the commencement of the upcoming NFL season.
Twinspires’ Partnering Land Based Casinos in Arizona
In inviting applications for sports betting licenses, the state of Arizona made it crystal clear that prospective online sports betting operators needed to establish partnerships with either tribal casinos or professional sports teams for their applications to be considered and approved. To satisfy this requirement, Twinspires tied a market access deal with the Tonto Apache tribe. Thanks to this deal, Twinspires managed to establish a partnership with the Tonto Apache Hotel & Casino in Payson, Arizona.
