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.

Colorado has licensed 26 online sports betting operators, the most permissive market nationally. This hyper-competitive environment drives intense promotional spending — including risk-free bet offers, deposit matches, and VIP escalation programs — that plaintiffs allege accelerates addiction onset.

Colorado voters approved Proposition 14 in November 2020, removing the original $100 single-bet limit enacted under Proposition DD. Plaintiffs cite this removal as a regulatory failure that eliminated a natural safeguard against large, impulsive wagers characteristic of compulsive gambling behavior.
