$250 Match Bonus at BetRivers Colorado

You’ll enjoy a 100% bonus at BetRivers Colorado. This is matched to your first deposit. The minimum deposit is just $10, with the maximum for this welcome bonus offer being $250. Bonus funds will be deposited into your account within 48 hours. You then have 30 days to use your bonus bets.

To take advantage of this bonus, you’ll need to use the bonus code “250MATCH” when making your initial deposit. Keep an eye on the “promotions” page at betrivers.com for any specials and one-off deals.

iRush Rewards at BetRivers Colorado

When you register at BetRivers, you’ll automatically get enrolled into the iRush Rewards loyalty scheme. This is the main way that this sportsbook rewards its regular players. It involves two types of points.

• Loyalty points: These increase your loyalty level, unlocking extra rewards as you climb.
• Bonus store points: These points can be redeemed at a special online store.

There are 11 loyalty levels in total. Regular levels go 1 through 10 — then a VIP level that is for invited members only (wager enough and you’ll be invited in).

To move through the levels, you’ll need to accumulate loyalty points. Place a single wager and you’ll earn 1 point for every $5 staked, while combination bets (parlays and the like) will see you earn those points quicker the more selections that are involved. Place a $5 parlay with 10 to 12 selections, and you’ll earn 10 points (10x the speed at which you would when placing a single team bet).

Each of the levels brings its own new rewards. At levels 1 and 2 you’ll receive access to the bonus store, while rewards open up as you progress further. Good examples include BetRivers special offers (Level 3 and up), VIP birthday gifts (Level 7 and up), VIP thank you dinner (Level 10 and VIP) and a free Apple or Android device (VIP Level).

You’ll be able to track how far you are from the next level by using the progress bar, a handy little meter that makes it easy to track exactly where you are.

One of the best aspects of this loyalty scheme is that you have a choice how to use the bonus funds you’ve accumulated. You’ll have the following three options:

• Bank it: The first option is to simply bank your existing rewards — by accumulating your reward points you can grab a larger reward in the future.
• Play it: Select the “My Bonus Bank” drop-down and activate your bonus funds. Keep an eye on the status of those funds through the bonus meter, so you’ll know exactly how much to play before the bonus money is yours.
• Take it: Having played through your bonus funds and satisfied the 1x play-through requirement, your winnings are there for you to do what you want with!

BetRivers makes it easy for you to track your progress and know exactly where you stand, using a “social” style interface.

Is BetRivers Colorado legal?

Sports betting at retail locations and online became legal in Colorado after “Proposition DD” passed a referendum in November 2019. This followed Bill 19-1327, which set out a legal framework and tax rules for sports betting. This was made possible by the overturning of the federal Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in 2018 — which returned jurisdiction over sports betting to the state level.

Like all sports betting brands that wish to enter the Centennial State, BetRivers is required to partner with a local casino to receive its license. BetRivers is partners with Triple Crown Casinos in Cripple Creek. With 33 casinos eligible to apply for licenses, Colorado residents will enjoy a wide choice of online sportsbook brands.

Sportsbook layout and app review

The BetRivers Sportsbook in Colorado has an all-action feel.

To the left of the page you’ll find a bold menu with a blue background, with links to your account, the most popular upcoming action and a full list of all of the sports detailed below.

The center section is where you’ll find the betting markets. This section isn’t as wide as you would find at other sportsbooks. It only displays the money line odds by default (other sites will also feature totals and the point spread). Clicking on the “More Wagers” option will bring up the extended list of betting markets.

When you click on a selection, the bet slip will pop up from the bottom of the screen. With one selection, a single bet is your only option. Adding additional picks to the bet slip will add parlay and round robin tabs (the parlay tab will be selected by default).

In the right-hand column you’ll find the newsfeed, which displays achievements and big wins from other bettors. “Big Sports Wins” are displayed, which tell you the username of the player and how many times the stake the player won. You’ll also see “Winning Streaks.” This shows users (by username, not real name), who have won five-plus bets in a row. This adds an element of competition to the site, as well as a social aspect that you will not find with other sportsbooks.

BetRivers is available for Android users in app form. However, iPhone / iPad customers will need to download the GeoGuard app to verify their location, then access the site through their web browsers.

Bet types available at BetRivers in Colorado

You’ll find a number of available betting options at BetRivers, covering all of the most popular wager types you’ll find online. Here are the main bet types:

• Spread bet — Perhaps the most popular bet, where a number of points are subtracted from the favorite or added to the underdog. For example, if the Broncos were 5-point favorites over the Dolphins, 5 points would be added to the Dolphins’ total to even things up, with equal -110 odds offered on each side of the bet.
• Over/under — Otherwise known as totals, this bet sees BetRivers set a line for the total number of points, runs or goals it expects to see in a game. Simply bet over or under that total — once again, both sides will usually offer equal odds.
• Money line — The simplest bet of all, where you’ll win if your selected team wins the game.
• Parlay — A parlay is a single bet with multiple selections. The number of selections can range between two and 12, with bigger winning opportunities the more selections you make. This can be the “home run” of bet types — you won’t win often, but when you do, huge rewards are there. Remember, you’ll earn those iRush Rewards faster when placing parlays.
• Round robin — These are bets where you can combine multiple parlays, giving the opportunity to have losing legs and still be a winner. For example, with four selections, you could have a single four-team parlay and four individual three-team parlays (each with one of the selections missing). If only three selections win, then one of your parlays has won. If all four win, you’ll win big — the best of both worlds.
• Futures — These are longer term bets, usually based over the whole season. For example, you could place a bet on the Colorado Avalanche to win the Stanley Cup before the NHL season begins.
• Live — Live betting is one of the fastest growing aspects of sports betting as we move into the 2020s. BetRivers offers a wide range of live betting on all of the biggest sports on the planet. Perfect for when you are watching the game on TV or if you’re actually in the stadium — but be quick as the odds move fast.
• Teaser+ bets — These new wagers are available to bet on the NBA and NFL games. Having selected the parlay option, the teaser+ option will open for you, and you’ll have the opportunity of adding 6, 6.5 or 7 points to your teams’ totals. This is a fun option, where the odds you’ll receive will be that much lower than a standard parlay, but your winning chances are much bigger.
• Props — These are wagers within a game, such as which team will be leading at halftime or whether a named player will score a touchdown.
