Colorado Sports Betting

Here’s what’s going on with sports betting, and sports in general across Colorado.

• 📰 July 13: The Rockies lost 4-2 against the Reds, losing 2 of 3. Heading in to the All-Star Break the Rockies are 22-76, good enough for the worst mark in Major League Baseball by some distance. The team will need to win 19 of its final 66 games to avoid posting the worst record in the modern era (1962 Mets – 40-120).
• 📰 July 9: The Rockies were swept in three-straight at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox, losing 10-2 on Wednesday.

New players who are over the age of 21 can register for an account and begin placing legal bets in Colorado in a matter of just minutes.

Both locals and visitors to Colorado can sign up and create an account from just about anywhere. As long as you’re presently located within the state’s borders when it’s time to lock in any bets, you’ll be good to go.

Colorado: Create your Hard Rock Bet account

Signing up for a new account with Hard Rock Bet Colorado is as simple as it gets. Once live, you can get started by downloading the Hard Rock Bet mobile app from the App Store or Google Play Store.

From there, click on the ‘Sign Up’ button. This will jumpstart the registration process, where you will be asked to fill out several personal details including your email address, first and last name, home address, phone number, date of birth and the last four digits of your social security number.

Don’t sweat it though, as this is commonplace at every legal, regulated sportsbook not just in Colorado, but across the United States. It is required by law to both protect players and ensure that new signups are who they say they are.

After wrapping up the signup process and confirming your new account, it’ll be time to make a deposit and browse the countless markets available on the CO betting app and website.

One more thing: if you live in Colorado but have already signed up with Hard Rock Bet in the past, there’s no need to create a new account. You can log in using the same credentials you’ve used in other Hard Rock Bet states and immediately begin placing wagers. These states include:

• Arizona sports betting
• Florida sports betting
• Illinois sports betting

Bet $5, Get $150 in Bonus Bets in CO

Hard Rock Bet is offering new players the opportunity to Bet $5 & Get $150 in Bonus Bets. Here’s a breakdown of how the promotion works.

For starters, no Hard Rock Bet promo code is required to claim your signup offer. Any active welcome bonuses will automatically appear in your account’s promotions section after registration is complete.

All you’ll need to do is place an initial wager of at least $5 or more on any market offered by Hard Rock Bet. This wager can be for any amount over $5 if you’d like, but keep in mind that the bonus is capped at $150 in Bonus Bets regardless of your stake.

The best part about this offer is that the result of your wager does not matter. That’s right: win or lose, you’ll receive $150 in Bonus Bets immediately after your bet has been confirmed on the Colorado sportsbook. No waiting around, no sweating any outcomes (outside of your $5 stake, of course) and no stress. Just rewards.

Your bonus will be distributed in the form of six individual Bonus Bets worth $25 each, totaling $150. Please note that the bonus bets each carry an expiration date of 7 days after issuance and their stake will not be included with any winnings.

Full offer T&C apply at all times.

Colorado’s online sports betting market has developed into one of the nation’s strongest since it initially launched in 2020. Let’s recap the path that lead us to legal betting in Colorado.

House Bill 1327 introduced

About a year after the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was overturned by the Supreme Court in May 2018, Colorado made its first attempt at entering the sports betting space.

House Bill 1327, labeled Authorize and Tax Sports Betting Refer Under TABOR (Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights), was officially introduced in the Colorado General Assembly in April 2019. The bill aimed to legalize both retail and online sports betting in the state.

After swift approvals in both the House and Senate, HB 1327 was signed into law by Colorado Governor Jared Polis in May 2019. However, in accordance with state requirements, the measure still needed final approval from voters on the upcoming November ballot before it could take effect.

Proposition DD approved

The final version of Colorado’s sports betting bill would appear on the November 2019 ballot as Proposition DD, which was derived from HB 1327. It narrowly passed by garnering 51.41% of the vote, officially marking the start of legalized sports betting in the Centennial State.

Under Proposition DD, the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission and the Colorado Division of Gaming would oversee all operations in the state. Licensing procedures would begin shortly after its approval, requiring all potential online operators to partner with one of the state’s land-based casinos.

Colorado sports betting launches

Colorado sports betting officially went live on May 1, 2020. Four online betting apps launched on Day 1, allowing locals to register remotely since the rollout coincided with the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

By the end of 2020, the number of legal sportsbooks operating in Colorado reached double digits. Over the coming years Colorado would establish itself as one of the most robust and expansive sports betting markets in the nation.

Hard Rock Bet CO looks to further enhance the state’s reputation by adding the industry’s top-rated betting app into the mix.

More CO sports betting details

Now that you’re a bit more familiar with the history of legal sports betting in Colorado, let’s review some of the market’s notable caveats:

• Colorado sports betting regulator: The Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission and the Colorado Division of Gaming
• CO sports betting age requirement: 21
• Betting on college sports: Yes, you can bet on college sports in Colorado. There are no restrictions when it comes to betting on in-state college programs, either. College player props, on the other hand, aren’t on the menu.
• Location: Players must be located within the state borders of Colorado to place a bet. You can leave the state after placing the wager, but all bets with a legal CO sportsbook must be made from within the state.

Hard Rock Bet offers all players access to a lucrative rewards program and loyalty program. Let’s break them both down.

Colorado: Claim your Legendary Reward Drops

Colorado bettors have access to the Legendary Reward Drops program, offering exclusive, weekly rewards. All players are invited to place bets and earn Credits. The more Credits you earn, the higher your Level, and the higher your Level, the better your Drops.

Every Thursday players can log-in to their Hard Rock Bet account and open their very own guitar case which will reveal the personalized rewards.

Hard Rock Bet brings Unity to CO

Unity is the Hard Rock brand’s global loyalty program that is now fully integrated with Hard Rock Bet.
