This bill aims to modernize the payment methods allowed for participating in legalized games of chance, specifically bingo, raffles, and penny auctions, by permitting the use of credit cards, debit cards, and other electronic payment devices. The Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission is tasked with adopting regulations to facilitate these payment methods, which are not currently authorized under existing law.

By allowing electronic payments, the bill seeks to enhance accessibility and convenience for participants in these games. The proposed changes will enable individuals to purchase shares, tickets, or rights to participate in these activities using modern payment options, thereby aligning the regulations with contemporary payment practices. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
