Colorado: Third US State Online + Broadest Licensing Regime
Colorado legalised online sports betting in May 2020 — the third US state to launch full online betting after New Jersey (2018) and Pennsylvania (2019). The Colorado Division of Gaming runs licensing through the Black Hawk and Cripple Creek mountain-town casino infrastructure. CO has historically had more active sportsbook brands than any other US state — 25+ at peak.
The 10% tax on net proceeds is among the lightest in the country (below PA 36%, NY 51%, IL 20-40%, comparable to IN 9.5% and MI 8.4%). The light tax keeps operator margins healthy, which sustains aggressive line competition — books actually fight for action in CO instead of price-matching like in higher-tax NY. That makes cross-book line-shopping materially more +EV in CO than in concentrated 5-book markets.
CO was the first major mountain-time-zone state to legalise, which gave it disproportionate handle from MST-based bettors. Avalanche NHL handle is unusually strong here — CO has the deepest pro-hockey culture between Detroit and the West Coast — and the recent Colorado Buffaloes Big 12 move has lifted CU football handle on Saturdays meaningfully. CO has no in-state college restrictions, so Buffs, Rams, Air Force, Denver, and Northern Colorado are all bookable.
