It was a brutal June for Colorado sports betting as revenue fell 70% from May.

The latest Colorado Department of Revenue report shows operators generated $9.2 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR). As a result, state taxes plummeted from $2.2 million in May to just over $441,000 in June.

Sports betting handle stood at $310.7 million for the month, down from $385.2 million generated last month. Similarly, Colorado online sports betting and retail wagers were both down significantly.
