Players will now be able to access PointsBet mobile betting app as well as online sportsbook as long as they are physically present in the state. <\/p>\n<p>PointsBet has big plans for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/us\/legal-us-online-betting-sites\">U.S sports betting market<\/a> and believes that Colorado will be one of the top markets going forward. The operator is currently in multiple states including <strong>Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey and Indiana<\/strong>. Colorado is now the 5th state that PointsBet has expanded into. <\/p>\n<p>The Australia operator has also decided to establish its U.S headquarters in Denver, Colorado after setting up a 17,000 square foot office. <\/p>\n<p>PointsBet plans to add up to 200 employees in its Denver office and continue to use its own technology and platform to expand into more U.S. states. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Play USA<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Blx7R37Nft8?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>PointsBet entered Colorado through its partnership with <strong>Double Eagle Hotel &#038; Casino<\/strong> in Cripple Creek. The casino has decided to scrap its poker room for a digital sports betting lounge that will feature over 2,000 square feet of digital entertainment, a number of big screen televisions, exclusive venue promotions and a 15 seat bar.<\/p>\n<h2>PointsBet Slow To The Party<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/us\/states\/colorado\">Colorado<\/a> launched its sports betting market in May 2020 but PointsBet did not want to rush ahead with a quick launch. Since the company has its own end-to-end technology, PointsBet was keen to sort out all technical issues even if it meant that it would be left behind. <\/p>\n<p>During the last 6 months, PointsBet has decided to enter into a number of new and exciting partnerships that will help strengthen its brand in Colorado. PointsBet signed a deal with NBC Sports in August 2020 to be its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/pointsbet-becomes-official-betting-partner-of-university-of-colorado\/\">official sports betting partner as well as the University of Colorado<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The operator has also signed partnerships with multiple companies include sports teams like the <strong>Colorado Mammoth<\/strong> and <strong>Colorado Avalanche<\/strong> who are part of the National Lacrosse League; with Kroenke Sports &#038; Entertainment LLC who own the NBA franchise the Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric Foote<\/strong>, chief commercial officer for PointsBet said the company did not believe in a one strategy works well in all markets. This is why they have focused on tying up with specific companies and brands depending on what state and market they are in. <\/p>\n<p>PointsBet plans on offering special sports betting promotions when Colorado teams like the Denver Nuggets play. We will have to wait a few months to see how well PointsBet does with its unique marketing strategy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PointsBet, an Australian gaming operator launched sports betting services in Colorado earlier this week.
