The best sports betting sites in Colorado 2024

BetRivers

BetRivers was one of the sports betting operators to commence business in Colorado at the earliest possible opportunity, on May 1 2020.

BetRivers is the sportsbook arm of Rush Street Interactive, a major casino brand. It has moved quickly to attain licenses in several states as it evolves to become a leading sports betting operator too.

Its website is welcoming, with a great wagering experience backed up by a notably generous choice of sports. An enticing welcome bonus is followed by good ongoing offers and a user-friendly rewards program. There have been some issues with the mobile app, but these are being addressed.

BetRivers, backed up by its parent company’s long casino experience, is a highly competitive runner in the race for Colorado sports betting custom.

Its land-based partner is JP McGill’s Hotel & Casino.

WynnBET

Since launching in Colorado in December 2020 through a partnership with Bronco Billy’s Casino, WynnBet has become popular because of its simple sports betting approach. Sports selections are focused, and markets cover a range of pre-game and in-play options. New customers registering with WynnBET in CO can currently receive a $100 free bet when they make a bet of $100 with the money they deposit.

Customers also have a collection of betting features, such as cash out, a bet builder, live streaming, and odds boosts. Whether you’re on mobile or PC, WynnBET offers a back-to-basics experience that is available on Windows, Android, and iOS. A wide range of payment methods allows you to deposit and cash out without any compromises.

BetMGM

BetMGM was one of the first group of four sports betting sites to go live in Colorado on May 1 2020. This is a brand that has attained a license in several states and has quickly established itself as one of the leading operators in the USA.

Bettors can enjoy a sumptuous range of sports to bet on, delivered by a well regarded website and mobile app. BetMGM is also known for its innovative function that allows you to edit your bet and change the terms of your wager even after the action is under way.

BetMGM is the result of a joint venture between Entain (a European brand that controls some of the leading sportsbooks in mature markets across the Atlantic) and MGM Resorts International.Its casino partner is the Midnight Rose Casino.

bet365

One of the largest sports betting sites globally, and winner of multiple eGaming Review awards, bet365 has been available in Colorado through a partnership with Century Casino. Since September 2022, customers have been able to sign up with bet365 and claim its welcome bonus, a $200 free bet reward for wagers of $1.

bet365 has established itself as a successful sportsbook thanks to the many available markets and bet types. It also has a huge range of live streams, which allow you to watch events like tennis, soccer, and basketball while you wager. If your team takes the lead, you can use its promotions to get early payouts on NFL, NBA, and NHL.

FanDuel

FanDuel was another brand that went live on May 1 2020. It’s known and liked for the exceptional user experience it delivers, particularly on its mobile app. This is augmented by a vast choice of sports and markets, as well as frequent bonuses and promotions. FanDuel was one of the pioneers of the same-game parlay.

Like DraftKings, its casino partners are the Golden Gates Casino and its Black Hawk neighbor, the Mardi Gras. The fact that the two brands share land-based partners reflects the closeness of their history in recent decades. FanDuel was the other leading Daily Fantasy Sports operator in the years before sports betting was legalized. It has leveraged that experience and the prominence it brought to drive its evolution into one of the very best sports betting brands on the market.

Betway

Betway launched its online Colorado sportsbook on April 5 2021, thanks to its partnership with the Famous Bonanza Casino.

Betway is known for the quality of its user experience on both website and app. It offers markets on a wide range of sports, and makes it exceptionally easy to navigate to the bet you want – and then to place it.

Plenty of events come with live streaming, and there is a solid range of bonuses as well as regular competitions that come with the chance to win big prizes. It will be no surprise to see Betway building a formidable presence in several states in the years to come.

SuperBook

While many people are familiar with the retail SuperBook at the Westgate Casino Las Vegas, the online sportsbook is making a splash in the Colorado market. Available since January 2021 through a partnership with Lodge Casino, SuperBook provides competitive odds on a wide range of markets. It also has an excellent desktop and mobile platform.

Registering with the sportsbook allows players to make the first wager with odds of -200 or less on the same day to get a match bonus of up to $1,000. Covering major and more obscure sports, SuperBook provides a huge number of bets on in-play and pre-game markets. There are also plenty of unique bonuses, including bonus bets for depositing with Paysafecard. Other payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.

Caesars

Caesars went live in Colorado on July 24 2020. This is a brand that has moved quickly to cement its place among the leading providers of sports betting in Colorado and many other states.

A key moment in the development of their online betting proposition was the acquisition of William Hill. Bringing that high level of sports betting expertise on board enabled the evolution of Caesars, one of the most famous names in casinos, to another level.

Caesars backs up an assertive marketing strategy with excellent service to Colorado sports betting fans. This is an outstanding sportsbook with a depth of markets, broad choice of sports and top-notch user experience. Another big plus is that you qualify to become a member of the Caesars Reward program, with benefits that can be enjoyed both online and at any Caesars casino.

Its casino partner is the Lady Luck, Isle of Capri Casino.

PointsBet

PointsBet launched its Colorado sportsbook on November 19 2020. It’s one of the best connected brands locally, having agreed tie-ups with a host of local teams including the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets and the University of Colorado Buffaloes. This may be linked to the fact that PointsBet, originally an Australian company, now has its US headquarters in Colorado.

PointsBet offers a genuinely innovative proposition in the form of PointsBetting. Under this system, the amount of your payout – or loss – is determined by the margin by which your selection wins or loses. This is an exciting way of betting and it’s possible to place a limit on your bet. You can also bet on conventional fixed-odds markets.

There are many reasons to like PointsBet, including its bonuses, app, and highly competitive odds. Its land-based partner is the Double Eagle Hotel & Casino.

FOX Bet

FOX Bet was quick off the mark in the new Colorado sports betting market, launching on May 19 2020.

The brand is co-owned by Flutter Entertainment, which is responsible for other big names including FanDuel and FOX Sports. The latter ensures that there’s a huge amount of exclusive and insightful content from well-known presenters and analysts to inform your betting decisions.

This is a new operation which lags behind brands such as FanDuel due to its lack of live streaming, and the absence of facilities such as the same-game parlay.

However, it scores well for the quality and range of its bonuses, including a risk-free first bet of up to $500 for new customers. There is a strong focus on the major American sports, as you might expect, as well as overseas leagues in basketball.

Its partner is the Lady Luck Casino.

Football (NFL)

Football is the most popular sport in the USA and the NFL is the richest sports league in the world. Its regular season matches command vast audiences, and the Super Bowl is believed to be the biggest global annual event for sports betting.

Colorado is represented at the top table by the Denver Broncos, a team that attracts huge crowds to the Mile High Stadium and has won three Super Bowls, the most recent in 2016. Football, with its frequent breaks in play and relatively high scoring, is an ideal vehicle for betting in play and for over/under prop bets.

Basketball (NBA)

The NBA attracts huge levels of support and interest throughout the regular season and all the way to the NBA Finals. It also commands significant levels of wagering thanks to its high scoring and regular breaks in play.

The level of engagement among Colorado fans of basketball has risen in recent seasons by the exploits of the Denver Nuggets. Inspired by Nikola Jokic (the NBA’s MVP in the 2020-21 season) the team has won divisional titles and reached the playoffs, leading to great excitement in the state – and hopes that the Nuggets could win a first conference crown.

Baseball (MLB)

Colorado has a long history in both minor league and Major League Baseball. Closest to its heart in recent decades has been the Colorado Rockies, based in Denver since 1993. Baseball still commands massive affection among American sports fans for its traditions, its never-ending stream of stats, and its long regular season that culminates in the World Series.

The Rockies have contested the Fall Classic once, in 2007, and their occasional post-season appearance ensures hope springs eternal in the city and beyond. There will always be an appetite for baseball among Colorado sportsbook clients.

Hockey (NHL)

The presence of the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL ensures an ongoing high level of interest in top-level hockey. The Avs moved to Denver in 1995 and earned a place in history as the first relocated NHL team to win the Stanley Cup, a feat they achieved in their first season in their new home.

Another Stanley Cup triumph followed five years later, and they have won a slew of divisional titles during their time in Colorado.

Hockey is an excellent vehicle for sports betting, and the presence of so many sportsbooks in Colorado ensures fans can place wagers on a wide range of games and leagues.

Soccer (MLS)

Across the world, soccer is the number one sport. The presence of so many options for sports betting in Colorado, and the competitiveness of the market, ensures that fans of “the beautiful game” will always have the chance to place wagers on leagues around the globe, as well as international championships.

The MLS has carved out a niche for the sport in the USA – and the Centennial State is represented in the league by the Colorado Rapids. The club was a founding member of the MLS in 1996 and its attendances have always been high, even though the MLS Cup win of 2010 remains the Rapids’ only honor so far.

NCAA Football

As well as a healthy diet of top-level big four action, sports fans in Colorado also have plenty of college sports to savor. The Colorado Buffaloes, Colorado State Rams and Air Force Falcons all play in the FBS, the highest level of college football in the USA. However, there are restrictions when it comes to wagering on football and other college sports in Colorado. Although you can place bets on teams from the state, no proposition bets are allowed – and you cannot wager in play once matches have got under way.

Motorsports

Motorsport attracts a steady level of interest from fans across the USA, and Colorado is no exception. The state is home to the Colorado National Speedway, which hosts some excellent action and is the only venue for NASCAR racing in Colorado.

Fans of motorsport also relish the opportunity to wager on IndyCar racing, Formula One and a host of other sports that indulge America’s love affair with fast four-wheeled competition.

Fantasy Sports

Daily Fantasy Sports games were legalized in Colorado in 2016. Leading operators including FanDuel and DraftKings are permitted to offer fantasy games to players in the state.

DFS delivers a slightly different take on the wagering experience, as you select players from various teams in action on a game day and score points according to their individual performance. Despite the breadth of sports wagering options in Colorado, DFS games are still popular.
