Sports Betting In Denver

Denver horse racing is extremely popular, as Colorado is home to the famous Arapahoe Park (Mile High Racing) on the outskirts of Aurora. OTB Denver locations are available to horseplayers, though there are only two OTBs in the city itself, at Celtic On Market and Pick 6 @ The Mirage.

For fans of horse racing, Colorado has a fair amount of domestic options, but these off-track betting parlors are retail only. If you want to bet on horses online in Denver, the best choice is to check out the international racebooks at any of the offshore betting sites recommended here.

To bet on the Kentucky Derby in Denver, the best option is an online sportsbook (or, more specifically, a racebook offered by an online sportsbook).

Colorado has recently allowed for state-regulated online sports betting, but online horse racing is not one of the approved wagering categories. It could be approved in the future, but for now, an offshore sportsbook is the best choice for betting on the Kentucky Derby and all other horse races both nationwide and internationally.

CO does have several retail OTBs, but you must use these in-person if you wish to wager on Triple Crown races or any other contests.

Domestic casinos have not fully warmed up to cryptocurrency as a method of deposit or payout, but offshore sportsbooks prefer Bitcoin and attach many perks to its use. The bonus amounts are higher, and Bitcoin is the only method of withdrawal that provides for a same-day payout.

Other types of crypto that we've seen accepted by offshore betting sites include Ripple, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash. Zelle is an exchange service that some bettors utilize as a third-party cash-to-Bitcoin option. Zelle makes it easy to quickly purchase Bitcoin and deposit it at an online vendor.

Other common types of deposit and withdrawal methods for Denver bettors are credit/debit cards, wire transfers, and cashier's checks.

Yes, gamblers can bet on sports outside of the region. Bettors inside city limits have two options for online sports betting: online domestic sportsbooks and offshore betting sites.

The betting lines offered for regulated in-state sports wagering include many sports from around the globe. Offshore betting sites typically provide more betting options than state-regulated sportsbooks do because they are not confined to certain games or audiences. Offshore sportsbooks are able to post lines on any legitimate athletic contest, as well as political futures and entertainment betting.

Bettors have access to point spread bets, moneyline bets, totals (over/under), parlays, teasers, pleasers, props, and futures. Each wagering type comes with its own risk and payout level. You can find detailed descriptions of every kind of bet on your preferred sportsbook website.

Offshore sportsbooks extend welcome bonus promotional offers to gamblers located within Denver's city limits. The most common type of sportsbook bonus is a deposit match bonus, where an account holder's deposit is boosted by a certain percentage. For example, you may see something like a 50% Welcome Bonus, which would boost a $100 deposit to $150 in your account.

New bonuses are offered throughout the year to incentivize US players to keep betting. Bonuses are not required for members to accept, so read through the terms and conditions to make sure it is the right offer for you.

That said, domestic Denver sportsbooks will not offer bonuses and do not accept Bitcoin, which are two major reasons why offshore betting remains a mile ahead of the competition in the Mile High City.

In May of 2020, state-regulated online sportsbooks began taking wagers in Colorado. They offer sports wagering services through apps that are downloadable at their websites and require that bettors be within state lines in order to partake.

Another option for Denver bettors is to use a top-rated offshore sportsbook listed on this page. These sites feature mobile components that run on web-based applications accessed through your device’s browser; there is no app download required.

Responsive design technology ensures the sportsbooks render and function consistently across varied screen size dimensions. Offshore betting sites also feature betting lines that are not offered at domestic Colorado sportsbooks, such as political outcome odds and entertainment wagering.
