DraftKings, FanDuel planning May 1 launch in Colorado Jill R. Dorson, SportsHandle · April 8, 2020 at 2:15 pm While Major League Baseball explores the possibility of having all 30 teams play only in Phoenix with no fans and the NBA considers how to finish its season in a bubble, it’s pretty clear that there will be no live professional sports happening in the United States by May 1. COVID-19 shut down all major professional American sports on March 12. But DraftKings and FanDuel, which have both gained licenses to offer sports betting in Colorado, have plans to launch their mobile sportsbooks on May 1 anyway. “As of now we are on track and look forward to providing Coloradans with our mobile and online Sportsbook on May 1,” a DraftKings spokesman told Sports Handle via e-mail this week.
