This bill amends existing gaming laws in Wyoming to raise the minimum age for engaging in online sports wagering and pari-mutuel wagering from eighteen to twenty-one years. It also clarifies the definitions of terms related to skill-based amusement games, distinguishing between "operator" and "vendor," which are now referred to as "establishment operator" and "game supplier," respectively. The bill includes provisions that restrict the operation of skill-based amusement games to establishments where individuals under twenty-one are not permitted, and it mandates that these areas be clearly marked as age-restricted.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for permits and licenses for establishment operators and game suppliers, including fees and the necessity for criminal background checks. It specifies that skill-based amusement games must be compliant with state regulations and that taxes on net proceeds from these games are to be remitted weekly. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
