Colorado voters narrowly approved a referendum on November 5 2019 legalizing sports betting including land-based and online sports betting. Proposition DD passed the referendum by 40 000 votes out of the almost 1.5 million votes cast in a razor-thin majority, and consequently, full-blown sports betting online and at retail locations in the Mile High State eventually began for real on May 1 2020.
The Colorado Model is rapidly becoming the blueprint for other states to follow, given the State welcoming big global sports betting companies and adopting an open minded approach to doing business with the sports leagues.
It’s the type of business-orientated professional environment where you might expect to also welcome online casinos, sooner rather than later.
