Sky Ute Casino Resort

Sky Ute Casino Sportsbook

While Colorado gaming law does not allow online casino gambling, beginning May 1, 2020, both on-site and online sports wagering will be permitted.

Sky Ute opened up its online sportsbook in June 2020. The product is powered by USBookmaking, which handles some of the other tribal sportsbooks around the country.

Presumably, USBookmaking will power the retail book at Sky Ute when it opens.
