The bill establishes a regulatory framework for interactive gaming in Wyoming, overseen by the Wyoming Gaming Commission. It defines key terms such as "interactive game," "interactive gaming," and "interactive gaming operator," and sets forth the requirements for operators to obtain permits, including a fee structure. Operators are required to remit 10% of their interactive gaming revenue to the commission, with a portion designated for county health programs addressing problematic gambling behavior. The bill also allows for reciprocal agreements with other jurisdictions for interactive gaming, contingent upon compliance with federal law.

Additionally, the legislation amends existing gambling laws, treating a series of similar violations within the same month as a single offense. It mandates the commission to create a compliance program to monitor interactive gaming activities and ensure adherence to regulations. The bill introduces new definitions and responsibilities for the commission, including the regulation of online interactive gaming and its operators. The commission is tasked with promulgating necessary rules by December 31, 2024, with the act taking effect immediately upon legislative completion, while certain sections will be effective from January 1, 2025.
