Southern Ute Indian Tribe sues Colorado governor, gaming division over sports betting rollout

(Colorado Newsline) The Southern Ute Indian Tribe in Colorado is suing Governor Jared Polis and the state’s gaming division over the administration’s resistance to allowing the Tribe to operate its own online sports betting platform after the state legalized the gaming practice.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court of Colorado on Tuesday, alleges that the administration’s actions essentially blocked the Tribe from the sports betting market due to disagreements over how existing tribal gaming agreements would interact with the recently-legalized type of gambling.
