Bet365 is waiting at least another couple of months before launching in its second US state, according to its partner.

Century Casinos Co-CEO Peter Hoetzinger confirmed to LSR the previously reported second-quarter launch window for bet365 will be missed: “The new launch date is, most likely, Sep 1st.”

That means one of the largest sportsbooks in the world plans to launch sports betting in Colorado just seven days before regular season NFL betting starts with the season opener.

Bet365 has focused elsewhere in recent months instead of the booming US sports betting market. The operator became the first official sports betting partner of the PGA Tour outside the US just last week.
