Stop the presses and start making plans! Colorado legalizes sports betting! Voters have narrowly passed the measure that makes Colorado the 19th state to regulate sports betting, with the tax revenues earmarked for water conservation.

This allows the parent companies of Colorado’s 33 casinos in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek to offer onsite and online betting on professional, collegiate, motor and Olympic sports starting in May. The ballot question had little opposition, but the election results were so close that the outcome could only be determined Wednesday as the final votes were tallied.

Legal sports wagering has grown since New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court case in 2018 allowing all 50 states to offer it. Colorado joins five other states that passed legal wagering this year: Illinois, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Tennessee.
