Colorado marks the seventh state to offer DraftKings’ mobile and online product.

“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.
