Colorado sports gamblers will no longer be able to use credit cards to fund bets, and will be restricted in the number of deposits they make.

Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation described as the first major reform to sports gambling in the state since voters approved it in 2019.

But the law, while containing restrictions, is a watered-down version of what bill sponsors initially hoped to achieve.

Gone are the bans on TV advertising and popular prop bets — things that were too costly to get rid of or practically impossible to implement.
