TwinSpires Sportsbook was among the first betting operators to launch in Arizona as one of eight sportsbooks to go live in September 2021. However, it began taking bets a week after the other seven and has been playing catchup ever since.

In this TwinSpires Sportsbook review, we’ll look at the traits and features of the operator, discuss how to register, and assign an overall rating to the bookmaker.

Yes, TwinSpires Sportsbook is legal in Arizona. The Arizona Department of Gaming issued a license for TwinSpires to operate in the state in 2021, and the bookmaker began accepting wagers in AZ in September of the same year.

Different types of bonuses at TwinSpires AZ

TwinSpires AZ will regularly offer different types of sports betting promos in Arizona to attract new players and keep returning players around. The promotions page can be tricky to find, so to make things easier, we’ll continue to update this site with the latest TwinSpires bonuses for Arizona players. Here are some examples of what you may find.

  • Sign-up bonuses: Also known as a “welcome bonus,” sign-up bonuses encourage new players to get started with the bookmaker. TwinSpires’ active welcome bonus involves $200 in Bet Credits if your first bet doesn’t win.
  • Bonus bets: Bonus bets are bet credits at a predetermined increment, such as $10, $20, or $25, which can be played as their own bet or added to a real-money wager. They cannot be withdrawn for cash and may have an expiration time (most books go seven days after issuance).
  • Matched deposit bonuses: When depositing funds into your account, TwinSpires may have a promotion to match your deposit dollar-for-dollar up to a certain amount. This match is another form of bet credit.
  • No deposit bonuses: The only thing better than getting bet credit added when making a deposit is to get that credit without having to deposit. The no deposit bonus type is quite rare, but when you see it pop up, you should always take advantage of the offer.

Arizona teams you can bet on with TwinSpires

Arizona is one of the 13 markets in the U.S. to feature a team in each of the “Big Four” sports. They also have one of the most successful women’s teams in any professional sport. Here are the Arizona teams you can bet on with TwinSpires:

  • Arizona Cardinals: The NFL’s longest continually-run franchise, the Cardinals are still seeking their first Super Bowl win. They were less than a minute away from winning in 2009 before giving up a late touchdown to the Pittsburgh Steelers to fall 27-23. However, they did win two NFL championships before the Super Bowl was ever awarded.
  • Arizona Coyotes: Relocating to Arizona from Winnipeg in 1996, the Coyotes have played home games in Tempe, Phoenix, and Glendale. The team is looking for another city to build a stadium and make a more permanent home. Until that happens, they’ll play home games at Mullett Arena on Arizona State University’s campus.
  • Arizona Diamondbacks: The Diamondbacks’ lone World Series win came against the New York Yankees in 2001. The Yankees held the lead in the top of the ninth inning of Game Seven and were three outs away from their fourth consecutive World Series title, but Luis Gonzalez and the D-backs rallied to walk off as winners.
  • Phoenix Mercury: Arizona’s WNBA franchise, the Mercury have the same number of championships as all of the men’s teams put together. Phoenix has won three titles (2007, 2009, 2014) and set the record for most wins in the regular season in league history (29-5 record in 2014).
  • Phoenix Suns: On the men’s basketball side, the Suns have the fifth-best all-time win percentage of any NBA franchise. However, they’ve lost three times in the final round and are still searching for their first title.
  • Collegiate teams: Betting on college sports is allowed under Arizona state law, including bets placed on in-state teams. Arizona, Arizona State, Grand Canyon, and Northern Arizona all offer NCAA Division I athletics programs.

TwinSpires Arizona offers several features to enhance the sports betting experience. Here are a few of the most popular options.

  • Live betting: The live betting section of TwinSpires has loads of games to bet on, especially for horse race betting. There is also live streaming available for horse racing. We would like to see this service expanded to help differentiate and set TwinSpires apart from other Arizona bookmakers.
  • Statistics: TwinSpires Arizona can help you make a more informed bet by offering matchup statistics for each game. All data is publicly available but it’s convenient to have this information a click away from your betting slip.
  • Early cash-out: Once you’ve placed your bet, you can cash out before the event is completed. For football, baseball, and basketball, early cash-out is available for moneyline, spread, and total points bets. For other sports, most main markets are eligible as well.

Our expert opinion of TwinSpires Sportsbook

TwinSpires Sportsbook is a decent option for Arizona players, especially those looking to line shop and make sure they’re getting the best deal. Furthermore, switching between the sportsbook and racebook is relatively easy if you’re looking to bet on horse races.

In particular, we appreciate the stats feature available from the betting slip. Clicking on a game then the “statistics” button brings up a ton of pertinent betting information covering recent matchup results, projected lineups, and more.

However, we think the operator needs to come up with more promotional offerings to attract new players. Despite being one of the first bookies to launch in the state, the TwinSpires app has a paltry number of downloads in comparison to other books. The lack of bonuses or a loyalty program could certainly be a factor there.

Betting AZ has given TwinSpires Sportsbook Arizona an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5. This rating is based on the following criteria:

  • Welcome bonus - Rating 4/5: The welcome bonus at TwinSpires includes $200 in Bet Credits for players who don’t win their first bet. This isn’t the most lucrative offer available among Arizona books but it is higher than a few other options.
  • Payment options - Rating 4/5: TwinSpires has among the most payment options in the state. However, several of those options require an additional fee of around $5 per deposit. Payout times can take as long as 20 days in some circumstances (five days to process, and 15 days to mail a check).
  • Sportsbook app - Rating 3/5: The app is rather basic and ordinary in appearance. Android users have it rated at 2.1/5 stars while Apple users gave it a 3.5/5. Most of the iOS reviews also cited the casino since that uses the same app (online casino gambling is illegal in Arizona).
  • Variety & features - Rating 3/5: TwinSpires would benefit from adding a loyalty program and more bonuses. There are 23 sports to bet on at the bookie. The statistics feature is a nice asset.
  • Customer Support - Rating 3/5: The support section of the website is clunky and cluttered. You can’t find answers easily. The 24/7 chat feature is more helpful than the FAQ pages. Phone (1-877-SPIRES-1) and email (player.services@twinspires.com) support are available between 9 AM and midnight ET.
