Philadelphia-based sports betting operator Sporttrade has gone live in Arizona through a partnership with Quechan Tribe of the Ft. Yuma Indian Reservation.

The Sporttrade betting app is now available to players in four US states, having previously been rolled out in Colorado, Iowa and New Jersey.

“Today we’re incredibly proud to announce we’ve launched in Arizona,” said Alex Kane, Sporttrade founder and CEO. “There is impressive demand for our offering in Arizona because players want a premium option.”

Jordan Joaquin, president of the Quechan Tribe, added: “The Quechan Tribe is excited to partner with Sporttrade and their innovations in the sports betting marketplace.

“Quechan’s statewide mobile sports betting partnership with Sporttrade introduces an exciting new platform of wagering and will provide new and expanded gaming opportunities throughout Arizona and which will provide economic benefits for our tribe.”

Arizona’s online sports betting handle grew by 16 per cent to $3.78 billion in the first half of 2024.
