States With Similar CO CFB Prop Betting Restrictions
Colorado is one of the many states with college football prop betting restrictions. Some of those states are nearby like Arizona, while others are on the east coast like Florida and New York.
- Arizona CFP Prop Betting Restrictions: Arizona’s CFB prop betting market is slightly less restrictive than Colorado’s because it allows in-state props, but it also doesn’t allow player props. The lone benefit to betting on college football props in Arizona instead of Colorado is that Bovada, our top-rated CFB sportsbook, accepts players from there unlike in CO.
- Florida: Hard Rock Sportsbook, the only state-regulated site with college football props in Florida, does not offer any player props. Like Colorado, that pushes many players to use legal offshore sportsbooks like BetOnline that can offer those odds.
- New York: New York and Colorado have nearly identical college football prop betting restrictions. Neither state allows player props or awards props. Colorado-based sportsbooks have slightly less restrictions than New York college football prop betting sites, as the NY books can’t offer odds on in-state teams at all. Just like in Colorado, the best place to bet on CFB props in New York is BetOnline because it has a full selection of odds.
