ClutchBet sportsbook will add to already successful Colorado sports betting tax revenue
The news of ClutchBet entering the market follows a sluggish report on sports betting revenue for April in Colorado.

Still, April saw a 6.5% increase in total handle compared to the previous year’s April.
Even with the revenue dip, sports betting continues to be a boon for the state. It’s projected that Colorado could gather as much as $24 million in tax revenue from the activity in 2022-2023 fiscal reporting, which would be nearly double the figure from 2021-2022.
Colorado bettors must be at least 21 years of age to download and register an account with ClutchBet Sportsbook. The state allows betting on the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and many other popular sports. Consumers can wager on collegiate sports and also place parlay and futures bets, in addition to traditional “American Odds,” and moneyline bets.
