As Colorado moves toward a more bullish stance on gambling, it isn’t a surprise to those who’ve battled addiction and the people who treat them that Coloradans are spending more time betting.
Colorado’s evolution from a “limited gaming” state to one that’s increasingly open to gambling began when voters approved a proposition that legalized sports betting online and in other venues beginning in 2020.
Since then, Colorado has further eased restrictions on gaming, allowing people to buy lottery tickets with credit cards instead of cash and permitting mountain casinos to set their own betting limits.
