Colorado sports betting became legal on May 1, 2020. This occurred while tribal casinos and those located in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek were closed due to the pandemic.
Online sports betting on computers and mobile devices went live at that time in Colorado. There were few sports to bet on at the time. Casinos started to reopen in June. Casinos began debuting retail sportsbooks. Some consist solely of a betting window or kiosks. Others constructed sports betting lounges. More are under development.
Featured Colorado mobile sportsbooks
There are over 25 online sportsbooks in operation in Colorado. These companies are partnered with casinos in Black Hawk, Central City, Cripple Creek or tribal casinos. Each Colorado mobile betting app is licensed in the same way the state’s casinos are. Sports betting on these apps is completely legal. It is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming.
Bettors must be at least 21 years old. Bets must be made within Colorado state lines where geolocation services are available. Accounts may be made on phones or websites. There is no need to go to the casino to bet on sports. Deposits and withdrawals are made securely directly on the app.
