NHL Betting in Colorado

This section will go over the basics of NHL betting in Colorado including where you can bet on it and the most popular types of hockey wagers.

Is Betting on the NHL in Colorado Legal?

Yes, hockey betting is legal in Colorado as long as you're using a sportsbook that has been approved by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Luckily for NHL fans, there are plenty of options. As of November 2024, there are more than a dozen legal Colorado betting apps and several retail sportsbooks open for business.

What Kind of Bets Can You Place on NHL?

The amount of market depth and variety available for NHL bets will vary across different operators, but I've listed the most popular types below with a short explanation.

Moneyline - The simplest bet across all sports, you're simply picking who you think will win.
Total - Also called over/unders, you're betting on whether two teams will combine to score more or fewer goals on a given line, such as 5.5.
Puck line - While it goes by a different name in hockey, the puck line is essentially the same as the spread in other sports. The main difference here is the puck line is always set at 1.5. The team that is favored will be -1.5 while the underdog will be +1.5.
Futures - As the name suggests, future wagers are those placed on events that won't be determined until later in the season. The most common NHL futures bet is the winner of the Stanley Cup.
Player Props - These wagers task you with betting on a stat for a particular player. This could be something like over/under 2.5 shots on goal for Nathan MacKinnon or over/under 25.5 saves for Alexander Georgiev.
