The launch of the Hard Rock Sportsbook app completes the first step in the 10-year agreement between Seminole Tribe of Florida-owned Hard Rock Digital and Navajo Nation Gaming, Parrish said. Users outside of Arizona state lines - or, thanks to issues with the current state gaming compact, people based on Navajo tribal lands - won’t be able to use the app to place bets.

The app allows for mobile betting across the state of Arizona through the use of geofencing to authenticate users’ locations. This new app has all the bells and whistles and everything,” Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise Interim CEO Brian Parrish told Tribal Business News. “We did a soft launch of some of our betting features in late February. The organizations jointly announced the launch of a new mobile wagering app on iOS and Android phones to supplant the “soft rollout” of their Arizona-exclusive mobile betting platform in late February. The partnership between Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise and Hard Rock Digital continues to evolve.
