Claim 2: “The Sports Betting Alliance is also encouraging people to advocate against the law on its website.”

SINGLE SOURCE

One Medium article mentions the 'Sports Betting Alliance is using the same legal playbook... against its smaller competitors,' which suggests advocacy/legal action, but it does not explicitly confirm the use of its website to advocate against this specific Colorado law. Other sources are general definitions of sports betting.

Claim 5: “A new bill aimed at placing heavier restrictions on sports betting apps has passed the state legislature with bipartisan support.”

SINGLE SOURCE

One web search result explicitly mentions 'Colorado lawmakers pass bipartisan bill to further regulate sports...', which supports the claim.

Claim 7: “Prop bets, which allow betting on specific aspects of a game such as how many touchdowns a player will have, are still allowed under the proposed legislation.”

DISPUTED
