About FanDuel in Arkansas
FanDuel launched in Arkansas on March 20, 2026, after the Arkansas Racing Commission approved its partnership with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort. As the most-used sportsbook in the United States, FanDuel arrived with a fully featured app, deep market coverage, and the same promotions Arkansas bettors had watched neighboring states enjoy for years. Within its first weekend live, FanDuel claimed a substantial share of Arkansas handle alongside DraftKings.
FanDuel Welcome Bonus
New users in Arkansas get the standard FanDuel "Bet $5, Get $300 in Bonus Bets" welcome offer. Place any qualifying $5+ first bet and the bonus credits regardless of outcome. Bonus bets must be wagered within 7 days and can be split across multiple wagers. There is no rollover requirement on winnings — once a bonus bet wins, the profit is withdrawable cash.
How to claim: Download the FanDuel app from the App Store or Google Play, or sign up at the FanDuel website. Verify your identity (last four of SSN, date of birth, address), confirm you are 21+ and physically in Arkansas, then make a qualifying first deposit and place the qualifying first bet to trigger the welcome offer.
App & Mobile Experience
The FanDuel mobile app is the highest-rated sportsbook app among the five Arkansas operators (4.8 stars on iOS at launch).

Casino Partner
FanDuel operates in Arkansas through its license partnership with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort (Hot Springs). Arkansas requires every mobile sportsbook to share at least 51% of net revenue with an in-state casino partner — the highest revenue split in the country.
Verdict
For most Arkansas bettors, FanDuel is the default pick: the largest market depth, the most polished app, and the same promotions the rest of the country already trusts. New users specifically chasing maximum first-bet value may prefer DraftKings, but for ongoing day-to-day betting FanDuel is hard to beat.
