The proposed bill aims to prohibit online sweepstakes games in Minnesota by introducing new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325F. It defines key terms such as "dual-currency" and "online sweepstakes game," establishing that these games involve a system of payment that allows players to participate in simulated gambling for potential prizes. The bill explicitly prohibits any person or entity from operating, conducting, or promoting such games within the state, and extends this prohibition to various stakeholders, including applicants, licensed entities, financial institutions, and media affiliates.

Additionally, the bill empowers the commissioner of public safety and the attorney general to deny operations and enforce penalties against those who knowingly accept revenue from online sweepstakes games. It also states that violations related to this prohibition will be subject to the same penalties outlined in section 325F.755, subdivision 7. Overall, the legislation seeks to curb the operation of online gambling-like activities that could pose risks to consumers and the integrity of gaming regulations in Minnesota.
