PlayUp Sportsbook Colorado

  • Launched: March 2021
  • Land-based partner: Bull Durham Saloon Casino
  • Regulated by: Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission

PlayUp went live in the Centennial State in time for March Madness, entering a state which has emerged as the biggest sports betting market in the country since it launched in March 2020.

The company's online sportsbook and mobile app are licensed through an agreement with Bull Durham Saloon Casino in Black Hawk. To bet with PlayUp in Colorado, bettors need to be physically located in the state to wager but state residency is not a requirement.

PlayUp runs an entirely online model and so does not have a retail sportsbook in Colorado.
