Get StartedA "yes" vote on Amendment F reduces from five to three the minimum number of years a nonprofit organization must operate in Colorado in order to apply for a bingo-raffle license, and authorizes the state legislature to establish a different requirement beginning in 2025. In addition, a "yes" vote allows, but does not require, bingo-raffle workers to be paid. Wages are capped at minimum wage through June 30, 2024, after which wages are not limited.
A "no" vote on Amendment F maintains the current requirement that a nonprofit organization must operate in Colorado for five years before applying for a bingo-raffle license, and that bingo-raffle workers must be unpaid volunteers.
"We haven't been able to keep pace with technology. We haven't been able to keep pace with players' tastes changing.

"If Amendment F is passed, this will allow any fly-by-night operator to invade Colorado, then flee with profits. Colorado nonprofits will be left without one of their larger revenue streams. With Amendment F, starting January 2025, the Legislature can further reduce the number of years of proven stable financial management to obtain a gaming license. The lobbyist who produced the legislation argues that if the amendment passes, then nonprofits can testify against it and hope for the best when the Colorado Legislature acts to reduce the three-year organizational stability requirement to zero. Let's stop the nonsense now. Vote No on Amendment F and simply come back for a simplified amendment that only reduces the stability requirement to three years without the chance to go further." - Steve Kjonaas, in opposition to Amendment F (Learn more)
