PointsBet Announces Partnership with Colorado’s Double Eagle Hotel and Casino

The agreement will include retail and mobile sportsbook operations at the casino’s premier property in Cripple Creek, CO

PointsBet, a premier global sportsbook operator, announced that it has entered a multi-year partnership with Double Eagle Hotel and Casino, one of Colorado’s leading casino and hotel destinations. The partnership will include the launch of both premium retail and mobile sportsbook operations in Colorado, pending legislative approval.

PointsBet and Double Eagle Hotel and Casino will work in tandem to build out a multi-faceted sports entertainment venue centrally located in Cripple Creek, Colorado – a National Historic Landmark. The venue will include a sports bar, multi-screen video and odds display wall, additional casino gaming options and on-site viewing parties for major sporting events. The sportsbook operation is contingent upon electoral approval by the Colorado voters in the November 2019 election, and is subject to regulatory approvals from the Colorado Division of Gaming.

“PointsBet is proud to partner with Double Eagle Hotel and Casino in the midst of Colorado’s efforts to legalize sports betting,” commented Johnny Aitken, PointsBet USA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Colorado is a strong and intelligent market hungry for a premium sportsbook and betting experience, and we’re looking forward to introducing new clients to a truly innovative, customer-first experience from start-to-finish.”
