DraftKings Launches Mobile Sports Betting in Colorado
May 01 2020 - 12:06PM
DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today debuted its digital sportsbook
in Colorado, providing sports fans ages 21 and over in the
Centennial State with the nation’s top-rated sports betting
platform to wager on their favorite leagues, players, and sporting
events. Colorado marks the seventh state to offer DraftKings’
mobile and online product. As a leader in the sports betting space,
DraftKings Sportsbook offers a plethora of innovative and engaging
content through traditional wagering opportunities on sports games
and events as well as free-to-play Pools contests around
pop-culture, eSports and trivia games with thousands of dollars in
prizing up for grabs daily.
“We are thrilled to introduce Colorado’s
passionate sports fans to DraftKings Sportsbook, the nation’s
favorite mobile and online sports betting platform,” said Matt
Kalish, co-founder and president, DraftKings North America.
“Boasting a wide array of distinct sports categories and daily
free-to-play games, customers across the state will always have a
number of year-round, skin-in-the-game opportunities to engage with
the premier sports betting experience DraftKings prides itself
on.”
DraftKings has remained dynamic with new product
launches across non-traditional offerings such as eSports,
simulations, popular culture and more. Free-to-play pools and
parlay competitions, in which participants choose sides from a set
menu of outcomes, have been especially adaptive as fans look for
fun diversions with topical contests ranging from Shark Tank and
Survivor to Chopped along with weather predictions, popularity
pools and more. DraftKings has seen almost 1-million entries across
all these Pools, and a complete list of current offers can be
accessed here.
Rep. Alec Garnett, Rep. Patrick Neville, Sen.
Kerry Donovan and Sen. John Cooke were instrumental in bringing
sports betting to Colorado.
DraftKings has broadened its partnership with
Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. at recently acquired Mardi Gras
Casino in Blackhawk and will be launching a state-of-the-art retail
sportsbook in the future. The newest DraftKings Sportsbook will
stand as the company’s seventh retail location across the country,
with locations in Iowa (Wild Rose – three locations), Mississippi
(Scarlet Pearl), New Jersey (Resorts) and New York (del Lago).
DraftKings’ sportsbook and daily fantasy
products are available via iOS and Android here.
