The state of Colorado has not authorized sports betting, and legislators need to hear from sports fans in Colorado who want access to mobile sports betting.
Mobile sports betting means that you can bet from the comfort and privacy of your home or from your favorite restaurant while you watch the game with friends. Legal, mobile platforms offer consumer protections that are not available through the illegal offshore market. Without legalizing mobile sports betting, money will continue to flow to illegal offshore bookies instead of staying in Colorado.
On mobile platforms, the customer is in the driver’s seat making decisions about how to play, and if issues arise, can use the mobile app to contact customer support. Conversely, illegal offshore bookies do not implement fraud detection, location and age verification, compliance measures, or responsible gaming systems. U.S. based mobile operators champion these protections - viewing transparency as a win-win for the company and the customer.
Fans aren’t the only ones who win with mobile sports betting. Revenue generated through legal mobile sports betting means that money stays right here in Colorado instead of flowing to illegal offshore bookies.
Just like ride sharing apps revolutionized the way in which people get around, mobile sports betting will revolutionize how fans enjoy the games they love. People in other states around the country are already enjoying innovative features like Live/In-Game bets, Cross-Sport Parlays, Futures, Prop Bets and more.
