Can I offer contests that involve a single game or event in Colorado? What are the requirements?

To offer contests that involve a single game or event in Colorado, you must comply with the requirements set forth in CORS 44-30-1609. Fantasy contests are authorized and may be conducted by a fantasy contest operator at a licensed gaming establishment or a licensed facility at which pari-mutuel wagering may occur. An operator of a class B track may conduct fantasy contests if the operator is licensed as a fantasy contest operator. To operate as a fantasy contest operator, you must be licensed by the director [1.2][1.4].

It is important to note that games of chance are prohibited in Colorado, except as permitted by Article XVIII, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution. A game of chance is one where chance is the controlling factor in the award of prizes. Skill must be the dominant factor in winning the game. The operator of the game or his designee must be capable of demonstrating that a questionable game can be won through practice or skill. If the operator or his designee is unable to so show, the game will be deemed to be one of chance [2.4].

If you plan to offer contests that involve a single game or event in Colorado, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations [1.1][2.1][1.3].
