In-person money transactions can be made at sportsbooks or at stores with payment processing kiosks, though.

How to bet on Arizona sportsbook apps
Now the fun part. Although each sportsbook app is defined by its branded color or logo, they’re really all very similar.
Using DraftKings as an example, there are tabs across the top for popular events currently underway, which will certainly include the NFL but also MLB and maybe even European soccer games.
Just below that, you will see something in the line of “baseball,” hockey, basketball” where the pro and college leagues will be housed. Swipe and tap and you’re in a level deeper.
From there, bets can be chosen and bet amounts selected quickly and easily.
