DENVER - Colorado regulators have adopted rules allowing the state to have the ultimate say on what gamblers can and cannot bet on within sporting events.

The Denver Post reported that the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission passed regulations that govern the state's new sports betting industry set to launch May 1.

The commission would be in charge of approving which leagues are eligible for sports wagering and which events in those leagues' games can be the subject of proposition betting.

Gaming Enforcement Division Director Dan Hartman says the department will create an initial list of eligible bets to be continually updated and distributed to sports book operators in the state.
