Draft Statement of Basis, Purpose, and Specific Statutory Authority
Office of the Secretary of State
Rules Concerning Bingo and Raffles Games
8 CCR 1505-2
May 15, 2014
I. Basis and Purpose
This statement is about amendments to the Colorado Secretary of State rules concerning bingo
and raffles games. The Secretary of State intends to adopt amendments necessary to implement
House Bill 14-1265, which reorganized and made technical and substantive changes to the
Colorado Bingo and Raffles Law1. The Secretary is also considering other amendments to the
rules in order to ensure uniform and proper administration, implementation, and enforcement of
Colorado bingo and raffles laws, answer questions arising under these laws, and improve the
administration of bingo and raffles games in Colorado. Such amendments include revisions
proposed by Colorado Bingo-Raffle Advisory Board members and bingo-raffle stakeholders.
At the February 5, 2014 and April 16, 2014 Bingo-Raffle Advisory Board meetings and at
subsequent stakeholder input sessions, individuals expressed the need to revise rules concerning
how licensees conduct progressive raffle games. The Secretary is considering the
recommendations through the following rule revisions:
Current Rule 8.4.4 is relocated to New Rule 8.4.2(d). The new location requires winning
progressive raffle ticket purchasers to be present only for playing-card games, and not for
members-only games.
On April 24, 2014, the Secretary issued a request for public comment to help our office develop
preliminary draft rules. The comments we received in anticipation of rulemaking are available
online at: http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/rule_making/bingoRuleComments.html and are
incorporated into the official rulemaking record.
The Secretary proposes the following rule revisions:
Rule 1.1 is repealed as unnecessary and Rules 1.2 through 1.7 are renumbered
accordingly.
1 Article XVIII, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution and Article 9, Title 12 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
2
New Rule 1.7 defines “house rules.”
Amendments to Rule 1.15, including New Rule 1.15.2, revise the “remuneration”
definition and allow a licensee to provide minimal amounts of food to volunteers, in
accordance with HB 14-1265.
Rule 2.3.1(d) is amended to repeal the provision that allows renewing games managers to
use their prior certification’s expiration date as the start date of the new certification’s
period of validity. This revision is expected to reduce confusion among renewing games
managers and harmonize certification requirements with current Department of State
system capabilities.
Rule 2.4.3 is amended to clarify what licensees must post at each occasion.
Rule 2.4.4(c) is amended to correct the statutory reference in accordance with HB 14-
1265.
Amendments to Rule 3.2.3(b) repeal the requirement that licensees run progressive bingo
games at successive occasions in accordance with HB 14-1265.
Rule 3.2.16 is repealed as unnecessary.
Rule 4.1.1(a)(2) is amended to correct the statutory reference in accordance with HB 14-
1265.
New Rule 4.1.5(c) (formerly Rule 4.1.7(c)) is amended to allow licensees more flexibility
in determining prices for progressive bingo cards.
Rule 7.1.1 is amended to correct the statutory reference in accordance with HB 14-1265.
Rule 8.1.4 is amended to allow licensees awarding prizes with a total retail value over
$1,000 to post winning raffle ticket information online. The Secretary also reformatted
the rule as a table to provide more clarity on general raffle ticket requirements.
Rule 8.1.5 is amended to allow licensees awarding prizes with a total retail value of
$1,000 and under to post winning raffle tickets online. The Secretary also reformatted the
rule as a table to provide more clarity on general raffle ticket requirements.
Amendments to Rule 8.1.6 require a licensee to demonstrate to the Secretary of State that
it will provide notice of cancelation to all raffle ticket purchasers before canceling a
raffle.
New Rule 8.1.8 establishes that a licensee may conduct no more than one regular raffle
drawing at a bingo occasion.
3
Amendments to Rule 8.4.1(b)(2) require a licensee to use identical containers when
conducting a playing-card progressive raffle. This provision is expected to prevent fraud
and mismanagement in these games.
Rule 8.4.3 is amended to limit a licensee to conducting simultaneously no more than one
playing card progressive raffle and one member-only progressive raffle drawing at a
bingo occasion.
Rule 8.4.4 is incorporated into Rule 8.4.2(d).
New Rule 8.4.5(a)(4) allows a licensee to set a progressive raffle jackpot maximum
below the $15,000 maximum set by rule. This will allow licensees more flexibility in
running these games.
New Rule 8.4.5(b) allows a licensee to seed a progressive raffle with an amount not to
exceed $500.
Current Rule 8.4.6(a) is recodified as New Rule 8.4.2(f).
Current Rule 8.4.7 is renumbered as Rule 8.4.6 and subsection (c) is amended to clarify
what licensees must post when conducting progressive raffles.
Rule 9.3.2 is amended to provide that the default deadline for redemption of a pull tab is
21 days after a pull tab deal closure except as otherwise provided for seal and progressive
pull tab winners in the rules, and unless the licensee establishes an alternative deadline in
house rules. This revision will provide clarity to pull tab purchasers while maintaining
flexibility for licensees.
Rule 14.1.1 is amended to correct statutory references in accordance with HB 14-1265.
Rule 15.3.2 is amended to eliminate the reference to raffle equipment and to correct other
statutory references in accordance with HB 14-1265.
Other changes to rules not specifically listed are non-substantive. Some words and
phrases are changed to simplify or clarify, but the meaning is not intended to be altered
unless as described above. Cross-references in rules are also corrected or updated.
Renumbering the rules is necessary for consistency with Department rulemaking format
and style.
