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 was playing catchup ever since. It closed in Arizona in 2023.

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

No, TwinSpires Sportsbook is not 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. However, TwinSpires shut its sportsbook operations in 2023, not just in Arizona but in the whole USA.

Joining TwinSpires in Arizona was a rather straightforward process. You would probably have been done in about five minutes. You could either sign up through the website or by downloading the Arizona betting app. Either way, here were the steps you needed to follow.

  1. Navigate to the TwinSpires registration page.
  2. Enter your legal first and last name, email address, and any betting promo code you wish to use.
  3. Enter your address as it appears on your driver’s license.
  4. Create a username and password you’ll use to access your account, your date of birth, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and your cell phone number.
  5. Click “Sign Up” to complete your registration. That will indicate your agreement to the terms and conditions of service.

Once those steps were completed, you could fund your account with the deposit method of your choice and place your first bet.

Different types of bonuses at TwinSpires AZ

TwinSpires AZ regularly offered different types of sports betting promos in Arizona to attract new players and keep returning players around. The promotions page could be tricky to find, so to make things easier, we continued to update this site with the latest TwinSpires bonuses for Arizona players. Here are some examples of what you might have found.

  • Sign-up bonuses: Also known as a “welcome bonus,” sign-up bonuses encouraged new players to get started with the bookmaker.
  • Bonus bets: Bonus bets were bet credits at a predetermined increment, such as $10, $20, or $25, which could be played as their own bet or added to a real-money wager. They could not be withdrawn for cash and may have had an expiration time (most books went seven days after issuance).
  • Matched deposit bonuses: When depositing funds into your account, TwinSpires might have had a promotion to match your deposit dollar-for-dollar up to a certain amount. This match was another form of bet credit.
  • No deposit bonuses: The only thing better than getting bet credit added when making a deposit was to get that credit without having to deposit. The no deposit bonus type was quite rare, but when it popped up, you should always have taken advantage of the offer.

Arizona teams you could bet on with TwinSpires

Screenshot of TwinSpires Arizona Sport section

Until April 18, 2024, Arizona was one of the 13 markets in the U.S. to feature a team in each of the “Big Four” sports; however, the NHL's Arizona Coyotes have been forced to relocate to Utah with the potential to return to AZ as an expansion franchise. The state also has one of the most successful women’s teams in any professional sport. Here are the Arizona teams you could 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 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.

Deposit and withdrawal methods at TwinSpires AZ

Several of TwinSpires AZ’s deposit methods carried an additional fee, so you had to be sure to check carefully when funding your account. This fee did not exceed $5. Withdrawal requests were processed within five business days. Here are the deposit and withdrawal methods you could use:

Deposit methods

  • EZMoney (ACH)
  • EZBank/Mazooma (online bill pay)
  • Credit card (Visa, Mastercard)
  • Debit card (Visa, Mastercard)
  • GreenDot
  • Moneygram
  • PayNearMe

  • EZMoney (ACH)

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

Our expert opinion of TwinSpires Sportsbook

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

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

However, we thought the operator needed 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 had a paltry number of downloads in comparison to other books. The lack of bonuses or a loyalty program could certainly have been a factor there.

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

  • Welcome bonus - Rating 4/5: The welcome bonus at TwinSpires included $200 in Bet Credits for players who didn't win their first bet. This wasn't the most lucrative offer available among Arizona books but it was higher than a few other options.
  • Payment options - Rating 4/5: TwinSpires had among the most payment options in the state. However, several of those options required an additional fee of around $5 per deposit. Payout times could 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 was rather basic and ordinary in appearance. Android users had 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 have benefited from adding a loyalty program and more bonuses. There were 23 sports to bet on at the bookie. The statistics feature was a nice asset.
  • Customer Support - Rating 3/5: The support section of the website was clunky and cluttered. You couldn't find answers easily. The 24/7 chat feature was more helpful than the FAQ pages. Phone (1-877-SPIRES-1) and email ([email protected]) support were available between 9 AM and midnight ET.
