Filing Venue

Where to File in Colorado

Colorado sports betting is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming (part of the Department of Revenue) under the Sports Betting Act implementing Proposition DD. Colorado has 26 licensed online operators — more than any other state — creating intense competition and aggressive promotional spending. Cases may be filed in the District of Colorado (Denver) or state district courts. The Colorado Consumer Protection Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-105) provides a private right of action with treble damages for deceptive trade practices. Colorado's regulatory structure originally included a $100 maximum single bet limit, which was removed by voters in 2020 (Proposition 14), eliminating a safeguard plaintiffs cite as having been a meaningful addiction brake.
