DESCRIPTION

The Colorado Division of Gaming seeks vendor services to audit state sports betting operations and related regulatory processes. The selected provider will understand and test the Division’s manual and automated processes for collecting and reviewing sports betting operator taxes and supporting documentation for accuracy.

The engagement includes evaluating the propriety of free bet tax deductions claimed by operators during Fiscal Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027 to date. The provider will also review statutes and rules concerning patron protections, including minimum age requirements, restrictions on credit card wagering and push notifications, daily deposit limits, and betting location requirements.

Additional work includes surveying potential beneficiaries to determine their awareness of the relevant fund and identify factors that may have prevented them from requesting disbursements. The audit supports the Division’s regulatory responsibilities for collecting taxes, fees, fines, and penalties; issuing sports betting licenses; and conducting compliance investigations and audits.
