A Fox News OutKick guide published Oct. 13, 2026, describes Colorado’s sports betting rules and options, including mobile apps and in-person sportsbooks.
The guide says retail and online sports betting launched in Colorado on May 1, 2020, following voter approval of Proposition DD in 2019. It reports that more than 20 mobile sportsbook apps are authorized in the state. Bettors must be at least 21 and physically located in Colorado when placing a wager; the guide says residency is not required.
The article says wagers on college sports are allowed, but player-prop bets involving college teams or games are prohibited. It identifies Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek as the towns where retail sportsbooks operate inside casinos, and names venues in each location.
The guide also describes common promotional offers, including deposit matches, bet-and-get deals and odds boosts. It cautions readers to check bonus-bet terms, such as wagering requirements and expiration dates, before accepting an offer.
This is a consumer guide, not an independent review of sportsbook operators or a live verification of current licensing and promotional terms. Readers should confirm applicable rules and offer conditions with state regulators and the relevant operators.
