Mobile sports betting in the Garden state is responsible for <strong>generating nearly 85 percent of all sports betting revenue<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Gaming regulations in Colorado will allow bettors to place both in-person bets as well as mobile sports bets. The regulation will allow casinos in three parts of the state to offer both forms of sports betting. <\/p>\n<p>These sportsbooks will operate towards the extreme northern and southern parts of the state which means the middle of the state is ideal for mobile sports betting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOX31 Denver<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l77zxWvVzXE?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Colorado weather will also play a huge part in boosting mobile sports betting growth. The weather gets really bad in the Rocky Mountain state for a number of months which makes it tough for bettors to get out and go place their bets in-person. During these periods, mobile sports books should expect to see a spike in betting volumes.<\/p>\n<h2>Competitive Sports Betting Market<\/h2>\n<p>There are close to 40 casinos spread across Central City and Black Hawk which is less than 40 miles from Denver. These commercial casinos will be able to offer in-person sports betting and will also have the opportunity to offer mobile sports betting because gaming law allows each casino to offer one skin per gaming license. <\/p>\n<p>If all of the commercial casinos decide to use their skin and launch mobile sports betting, it would create a very healthy sports betting market in Colorado and give bettors a number of betting options. Gaming analysts believe that the <strong>state will generate around $214 million in sports betting revenue each year<\/strong> while some market analysts suggest that this figure is too conservative and annual betting revenues will most likely be around $275 million.<\/p>\n<p>To give you a comparison, Nevada which leads sports betting revenues throughout the country, generated $301 million in 2018. New Jersey ended up generating just under $249 million during their first 15 months of operations. <\/p>\n<p>Colorado is still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/colorado-wants-voters-to-decide-on-sports-betting-tax-proposal\/\">working on its sports betting regulations<\/a> and legislators will work closely with stakeholders to ensure that the state develops robust regulations and a thriving sports betting market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado became the 21st state to legalise sports betting this month and gaming analysts are expecting the state to have a thriving mobile sports betting market that should be similar in many ways to New Jersey.
