Colorado’s regulatory outlook on most offerings for sports betting also applies to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing.

If operators want to offer any Olympic sport, from hockey to curling to biathlon, they are free to do so. It fits with the overall permissive nature of Colorado’s sports betting regulation. There is a short list of exceptions (like exhibition boxing matches or NCAA player props), but the state largely lets its sports betting operators offer what they like.

“If you take the approach we have, what you really get into is you’re allowing the operator to manage their own risk on those things,” said Dan Hartman, the director of the Colorado Division of Gaming.
