The bill authorizes interactive gaming in Wyoming and establishes a regulatory framework under the Wyoming Gaming Commission. It introduces definitions for key terms such as "interactive game," "interactive gaming," and "interactive gaming operator," and outlines the permit requirements for operators in this sector. The commission is responsible for creating rules governing interactive gaming, including standards for wagering and compliance measures, ensuring that all gaming activities are conducted online with players physically present in Wyoming or in a permissible jurisdiction when placing wagers.

Additionally, the bill sets a revenue distribution model requiring 16% of interactive gaming revenue to be remitted to the commission, with allocations for health programs, education, and administrative costs. It includes penalties for operating without a valid permit and for allowing underage participation in interactive gaming. The bill amends existing definitions of gambling to encompass interactive gaming regulated under new sections created by this legislation. While the act takes effect immediately upon passage, the specific provisions related to interactive gaming definitions and regulations will not be effective until January 1, 2026.
