FanDuel Arkansas Promo Code (February 2026)

Here’s what’s confirmed (and what’s still wait-and-see) around the FanDuel Arkansas promo code, including market access, the probable casino partner, and what you can use while Arkansas remains TBD.

How to Claim the FanDuel Arkansas Promo Code

There’s no Arkansas sign-up promo to enter yet. When FanDuel Arkansas goes live, the steps should look like any other regulated sportsbook signup:

1. Download the app using our links (once available): The national app is already on iOS and Android, and Arkansas rollout would probably use that same core mobile platform once approved.

2. Create a new account and complete verification: This is where you’ll enter your personal details and confirm your identity.

3. Confirm you’re eligible in Arkansas: You should expect age checks, identity verification, and location (geolocation) checks before you can place a bet. 

4. Make your first deposit: In other states, common payment methods include debit card, online banking, and e-wallet options. Arkansas availability will depend on the final market setup.

5. Opt in to whatever Arkansas welcome offer is available (if any): Some sportsbooks run “no code needed” promos for new users; others ask for a specific code. For Arkansas: still TBD.

6. Place a qualifying bet: If FanDuel Arkansas launches with a bet-and-get style offer, you’ll probably need to place a qualifying wager before any bonus bets appear. We’ll update once it’s confirmed one way or the other.

FanDuel Arkansas Promo Code Terms & Conditions Explained

FanDuel’s current welcome offer in other states is Bet $5 Get $100 in Bonus Bets If Your Bet Wins!.

While this offer isn’t confirmed for Arkansas, it provides a good idea of what new users in the Natural State could expect, including similar terms and structure. The offer could be even more desirable, as many sportsbooks run showy promos when they launch in new states.

Here are potential terms to keep in mind once FanDuel AR goes live:

• Where the offer lives: the Arkansas sign-up page (in-app or on the website).

• Who qualifies: new-customer rules, age requirements, Arkansas geolocation, and the usual one-per-person rule.

• What triggers it: deposit minimums, first bet minimum, and whether there’s any minimum odds requirement or opt-in step.

• What you get: bonus bets vs cash, how it’s issued, and when it hits after your qualifying bet settles.

• What can void it: cash-outs, voided bets, restricted bet types, ineligible markets, and short expiry windows.

FanDuel Sportsbook’s Journey to an Arkansas Launch

Legal sports betting in Arkansas is already in place, including online wagering, but the market has been structured around a casino-first model that hasn’t exactly rolled out the red carpet for national brands.

What’s Confirmed So Far

• FanDuel and DraftKings have received sportsbook licenses to enter the Arkansas online sports betting market through partnerships with existing casino operators.

• FanDuel’s path is tied to Oaklawn in Hot Springs, with DraftKings linked to a Southland Casino in West Memphis, pending Arkansas Racing Commission approval.

• Neither sportsbook is live just yet.

The Market Access Issue

Arkansas doesn’t let a national sportsbook take the bigger slice. If a licensed Arkansas casino partners with a third-party operator for mobile sports betting, the casino has to keep at least 51% of the net revenue. That “local casino gets the majority” rule is a big reason FanDuel Arkansas and DraftKings have taken longer to push into the state.

The Timeline

• November 2018: Arkansas voters approved Amendment 100, opening the door to casino licenses and legal retail sports betting.

• March 2022: Arkansas mobile sports betting went live through casino-run apps tied to the licensed casinos.

• February 2026: FanDuel and DraftKings submitted applications via the casino partnership model to offer sports betting in the state.

• February 2026: On February 26, the Arkansas Racing Commission convened to approve sportsbook licenses for FanDuel and DraftKings.

Oaklawn Casino and the Local Focus

FanDuel Arkansas has an official partnership with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs, one of the state’s core casino sportsbooks. This partnership cements FanDuel AR's license in the Natural State.

Oaklawn’s roots go back to the early 1900s, which is basically forever in “local institution” years.

Expected Bet Types on FanDuel Arkansas

If/when a national operator enters a regulated sports betting market, these are the standard bet types you should expect to see:

• Moneylines: Back a team (or fighter) to win outright.

• Point spreads: Bet a team to win by a certain margin, or keep it within the number.

• Totals (Over/Under): Bet the combined score to go over or under the posted total.

• Parlays: Combine multiple picks into one ticket. More risk, higher payout if everything hits.

• Same-game parlays (SGPs): Multiple picks from the same game (spread + total + player prop, etc.).

• Player props: Wagers on player outcomes like points, yards, strikeouts, or three-pointers made.

• Futures: Longer-term markets like division winners, conference titles, MVP, or championship odds.

• Live betting: Betting during the game with lines that change in real time.

If FanDuel Arkansas is approved, the real question isn’t “Will they have spreads?”, but whether the arrival of the platform triggers the kind of promo-heavy competition Arkansas has largely avoided so far. 

What sports can I bet on at FanDuel Sportsbook Arkansas?

The expectation is that FanDuel Arkansas would cover the same mainstream menu you see across most legal US online sportsbooks, including major pro leagues, major college events, and year-round markets, like:

• NFL (including futures and live betting)

• NBA

• MLB

• NHL

• NCAA Division I football and basketball (including March Madness)

• Golf majors

• UFC fight cards

Alternatives to FanDuel Sportsbook in Arkansas

While you wait for FanDuel Arkansas, you’re not stuck staring at a loading screen. Arkansas already has legal online sports betting through casino-run apps, active DFS (daily fantasy sports) contests, and prediction market apps available.

Keep in mind the state has a history of policing the line between permitted games and unlicensed sports betting, including sending cease-and-desist notices to certain fantasy-style operators in the past. So if you’re trying something new, it’s worth confirming what’s actually allowed in Arkansas, not just what an app offers nationally.

Also worth noting: DraftKings is making the same kind of market access push as FanDuel Arkansas. If regulators approve both, the state could go from a mostly local-app market to one that includes two of the biggest national operators.

Online Sportsbooks Live Now in the Arkansas Sports Betting Market

Arkansas ties online sports betting to three casino license holders: Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort (Oaklawn) in Hot Springs, Saracen Casino Resort in Pine Bluff, and Southland Casino Hotel (Southland) in West Memphis.

Those casino licenses are what power the main statewide apps you see today:

• Oaklawn Sports (Oaklawn / Hot Springs)

• BetSaracen (Saracen / Pine Bluff)

• Betly (Southland / West Memphis)

DFS, Pick’em-Style Contests, and Prediction Markets to Consider

Rules and availability vary by product and state. For example, Sleeper’s own state rules say that in Arkansas, Player Picks contests can’t include college athletes.

While the FanDuel Sportsbook is expected to go live in Arkansas, the FanDuel Casino is not as the state is not yet legal with online casino gaming.

Other FanDuel Arkansas Promos (Possible)

FanDuel’s promos for existing users tend to rotate, especially around big slates and major events. If FanDuel Arkansas launches, any Arkansas-specific promos will depend on what’s approved and what gets published for the state.

Here are a few national FanDuel Sportsbook promos that are live in specific states:

• Daily Odds Boosts: Get enhanced odds on featured bets across major sports and high-profile matchups.

• Profit Boost Tokens: Receive targeted boosts for specific leagues, such as NHL Same Game Parlays or college basketball, to increase potential payouts.

• Refer-a-Friend: Refer a friend to FanDuel and get (2) 100% Profit Boost Tokens after they place and settle their first bet!

If and when FanDuel Arkansas goes live, we’ll update this section as soon as details are public.

FanDuel Arkansas Sportsbook App Review

• On iOS, the FanDuel app shows 4.8/5 with about 2.1M ratings. 

• On Google Play, FanDuel’s developer page shows the sportsbook app at 4.5 stars. 

Here’s what tends to stand out in the FanDuel app in other legal states:

• Finding markets quickly: the app is designed to jump between leagues, game pages, and live betting menus without going through ten layers of tabs. 

• Betslip usability: bonus bets (when you have them) usually appear as an option inside the betslip, and restrictions are typically displayed alongside the bonus bet itself. 

One thing to note: like most high-traffic betting apps, user reviews frequently mention occasional bugs, verification friction, and customer support timing issues.

For Arkansas, the question is what’s enabled and what’s offered once the state-specific build is live.

Local Teams to Bet On at FanDuel AR

Arkansas doesn’t have an NFL or NBA team to build the whole card around, so a lot of the local angle comes back to college sports, especially Arkansas Razorbacks games. Saturdays in the fall, SEC hoops in February, and a lot of people treating a random midweek game like it’s personal.

Arkansas is one of the states that allows college player props, including on in-state athletes, which means you’re not limited to just spreads and totals when the matchup is worth your time.

Alabama Crimson Tide

Here’s where that becomes real instead of theoretical. When Arkansas heads to Coleman Coliseum to play the Alabama Crimson Tide, player props give you more ways to get involved beyond “do they cover” and “does it go over.” It’s the difference between watching the game and actually having options that match how you talk about the game.

FanDuel Racing Integration

If FanDuel Arkansas ends up partnering with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs, you’ll probably hear more horse racing talk than you would in most states, especially around the Arkansas Derby. The details are still TBD until the Arkansas product is live.

FanDuel Arkansas Online Banking Options

If the launch in Arkansas follows how FanDuel handles online sports betting in other legal states, the usual options look like:

Method	Deposits	Withdrawals	Withdrawal Processing Time
Online banking (ACH)	✅​​	✅	3-5 business days
Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard)	✅	✅	Up to 24 hours
PayPal	✅	✅	Up to 24 hours
Venmo	✅	✅	Up to 24 hours
Apple Pay	✅	✅	Up to 24 hours
FanDuel Prepaid Play+ card	✅	✅	Up to 24 hours
Cash at Counter	✅	✅	Up to 48 hours
Check by mail	❌	✅	7-10 business days

Note that local sportsbooks such as Betly will have an edge over FanDuel AR, as the national operator no longer supports credit card payments.

Customer Service FanDuel Arkansas

When something goes sideways, you want a real answer, not a dead link. In other states, FanDuel support usually funnels you through the help/FAQ center, a live chat, or email.

FanDuel also lists support availability from 8:00am to 12:00am ET daily, plus the option to message them via social support channels.

Responsible Gambling at FanDuel Arkansas

Arkansas requires regulated online sportsbooks to offer responsible gambling tools, including self-exclusion options.

If you need help right now:

• National Council on Problem Gambling: 1-800-MY-RESET (also has text options)

• Arkansas Problem Gambling Council: 1-800-GAMBLER

Licensed casino sportsbooks' rules can vary, so always check the casino’s responsible gaming page for the exact steps. For example, Southland’s self-exclusion information points you to its security department at (870) 732-8389.

If you’re setting your own guardrails, keep it simple: set a deposit limit, set a time limit, and if you notice your emotions changing because of a result, shut it down for the day.

FanDuel Arkansas Sportsbook Promo Code Final Tips from Action Network

The smartest moves are the unglamorous ones:

• Expect FanDuel AR to launch in time for March Madness.

• Keep the market access reality in mind: Arkansas’ 51% casino revenue share rule is the reason this took so long, and it’s still the defining feature of the Arkansas sports betting market. 

• Treat any national promo you see as national only until FanDuel Arkansas publishes state-specific terms.

• Once FanDuel Arkansas is live, use Playbook to streamline betslip creation at FanDuel.
