Tipico — a sports betting company — will become Century Casinos’ third internet sports betting operator partner in Colorado. It is worth mentioning that Century Casinos is already in partnership with Circa Sports and bet365 for sports betting in Colorado.
Per the 10-year agreement, a one-time market access fee will be paid to the company on contract signing. Moreover, Century Casinos will also pay a minimum annual revenue guarantee and a percentage share of net gaming revenues every year.
Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, Co CEOs of Century Casinos said “We are very excited to be partnering with Tipico Sportsbook, one of the top sports betting companies in the world, and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship. The Colorado Division of Gaming has done an excellent job launching Sports Betting and we believe Colorado will be an ideal market for Tipico as they continue their expansion and growth in the United States.”

Moreover, Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, California, Oregon, Arizona, Montana, Colorado and other states are likely to follow suit in the coming months.
