Betly Sportsbook launched its app for iOS devices on April 26th. Their online sportsbook has been available in Arkansas since March 5th, 2022.
Betly Sportsbook is partnered with Southland Casino Racing, with the platform run by Gamewise.
Android users have been able to use the Betly Sportsbook through their web browsers from the start with no app necessary. According to Betly Sportsbook, they are expecting to launch an app in the Google Play Store in the near future.
Few Updates Available About Other Mobile Sportsbooks In Arkansas

The initial launch for BetSaracen was supposed to be before the start of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, but after struggling to find external vendors the project is apparently at a standstill.
The only other legal online sportsbook to have been rumored to have mobile sports betting app in Arkansas is Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, although they have said little outside of a potential launch in the third quarter of 2023.
