Racehorse Wagering Data Reporting/ Audit Tool Subscription

The Colorado Department of Revenue is issuing a Notice of Proposed Sole Source for a racehorse wagering data reporting and audit tool subscription, with competing vendors having until June 12, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time to demonstrate capability to meet the requirements — effectively a challenge to the Department's intent to award solely to the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau (TRPB).

The Department intends to award a web-based subscription platform for auditing Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) data and tracking source market fee collections from Colorado-authorized ADW operations. The system must capture and report pari-mutuel data including event, pool, company, race, handle, Colorado postal code, net sales, and race date; support query responses within 48 hours of event completion for continuous date ranges; export reports in MS Excel or MS Access formats; deliver weekly and monthly summaries by ADW provider, event, date, and postal code; and provide customized reports as specified by the Department. Query availability during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time) and basic installation, setup, and training are included in subscription cost.

Vendors must demonstrate familiarity with standard totalizator protocol, pari-mutuel wagering pools, and Advanced Deposit Wagering data collection and processing, and must currently process business license backgrounds within the racing industry. The scope also includes ongoing as-needed services for account wagering compliance investigations and audits of non-licensed firms conducting account wagering business in Colorado, priced separately on an hourly rate or per-investigation basis.
