From the streets of Philadelphia to the deserts of Arizona: That’s where Sporttrade is headed.
The Philly-based company announced Thursday that their app is now live in Arizona, with the company partnering with the Quechan Tribe of the Ft. Yuma Indian Reservation, California and Arizona.
“Today we’re incredibly proud to announce we’ve launched in Arizona,” Sporttrade Founder and CEO Alex Kane said in a release. “There is impressive demand for our offering in Arizona because players want a premium option.”
This is the fourth state Sporttrade is now operating in, along with New Jersey, Colorado, and Iowa.
“Sporttrade is a perfect option for players looking to try the future of in-game wagering; incredible prices, near-instant bet acceptance, and the option to view prices in an intuitive probability-based odds format,” said Kane. “Thank you to the Arizona Department of Gaming, thank you to our players, partners, and investors, and most of all, I want to thank the Sporttrade family of employees.”
The Sporttrade app is available on both the iOS and Android mobile platforms.

“The Quechan Tribe is excited to partner with Sporttrade and their innovations in the sports betting marketplace.” said Quechan President Jordan Joaquin. “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, which will provide economic benefits for our tribe.”
Sporttrade operates both a “regular” sportsbook — which is what is offered in Colorado and Iowa, and presumably Arizona — and an “exchange,” which is offered in New Jersey.
For the regular sportsbook, Sporttrade claims better prices and higher limits than most other online sportsbooks, whereas the exchange model allows bettors to treat the action more like an options market. Bettors can buy and sell positions in a game, with each game “settling” at either “1” or “0.”
