I am asking you to please bring mobile sports betting to Arkansas. I should have the same opportunity to register for an account and place bets directly from my phone or computer, just like people in Tennessee and so many other states across the country. Currently, many sports fans across Arkansas are placing bets through platforms that provide no consumer protections. A lot of these illegal platforms seem legitimate, but they don’t have secure payment systems, tools for responsible gaming or protections against underage play. We need legal mobile sports betting here in Arkansas!

Please bring mobile sports betting to Arkansas. I want to be able to register and place bets from my phone in Arkansas just like I do with most everything else. In order to keep sports betting revenue in Arkansas, we should provide an online, legal alternative to the offshore companies, and this alternative should include the ability to register for a legal account without leaving my home, which is currently what people in Arkansas can do through the illegal market.

I’m asking you to please support bringing sports betting to Arkansas. Why are we letting all of that money leave the state and go to other states that have legal online betting like Tennessee, or fill the pockets of illegal sports betting platforms? We have the opportunity to bring mobile sports betting into the legal market and get some much-needed funding for important things here in Arkansas. I think it’s time that we bring sports betting out of the shadows to offer important consumer protections to fans in Arkansas that are currently missing in the illegal market.

I know there are a lot of people who bet on sports in Arkansas. My hope is that we see a legal market for mobile sports betting with strong consumer protections, so no one is left unsafe. Right now, people in Arkansas are betting with illegal companies on their phones, and these illegal companies don’t offer any customer protections. It is in the best interest of everyone in our state that we legalize mobile sports betting now so that everyone who is betting on sports today can be protected. Please do what you can to bring sports betting here to Arkansas.

I urge you to do whatever you can to support consumer choice and bring fully mobile sports betting to Arkansas. I should be able to register my account and place bets directly from my phone or computer in the same way as people in Tennessee and so many other states around the country. Sports betting money should stay right here in Arkansas instead of going to neighboring states, unregulated operators or illegal bookies, which is what will continue to happen without full mobile betting.

It’s time to make mobile sports betting legal in Arkansas. I keep hearing about how great sports betting is in states like Tennessee and how they are putting that money to work for their state. Why don’t we have that here in Arkansas? We all know that people across the state are already betting on sports online. They’re just doing it through illegal platforms that seem legitimate. Most people don’t even realize that they’re placing bets through offshore and illegal operators. Not only would mobile sports betting provide much needed consumer protections, but it will also keep all of that sports betting revenue in our state where we need it.

As your constituent I am asking that you please bring mobile sports betting to Arkansas. This seems like a common sense move for Arkansas. It would bring money to our state and get people to stop using illegal mobile betting websites that provide no protections or responsible gaming options. Now is the time to bring mobile sports betting to Arkansas! Why would we keep sending sports betting money to other states like Tennessee when it could help our state, especially now when we need it more than ever? Please keep sports fans safe and keep sports betting money in Arkansas.

Please support efforts to bring safe and legal mobile sports betting to Arkansas. We all know that mobile sports betting is already happening in in the state, it is just being done illegally with offshore operators who have no interest or reason to protect Arkansans. If I want access to secure payment methods and consumer protections from my phone I shouldn’t have to go to other states like Tennessee to bet with legal mobile operators. Sports fans across Arkansas are placing bets on their phones through illegal apps or going to other states, but it does nothing to keep money here in Arkansas to help our communities. Please stand up and protect sports fans in Arkansas by ensuring that we keep sports betting money here where we need it. Thank you!

Please support efforts to bring safe and legal mobile sports betting to Arkansas and out of the shadows. Sports fans across Arkansas are currently placing bets through online platforms that lack critical security features, or they’re traveling to other states like Tennessee that already have mobile sports betting. Why would we do this when we could keep all of that sports betting money right here in Arkansas where we need it? Please stand up for sports fans and all Arkansans by allowing mobile sports betting. Thank you!
