The bill amends the definitions related to gambling in Wyoming law, specifically under W.S. 6-7-101. It clarifies the meaning of "gambling" to include risks taken in games played with cards, dice, or gambling devices, as well as events beyond the player's control. The bill introduces new criteria for exceptions to gambling, including stipulations that games must be incidental to a bona fide social relationship, conducted privately, and not advertised for public participation. Additionally, it specifies that no person involved in these games can receive remuneration beyond winnings.

Furthermore, the bill defines "bona fide social relationship" as a genuine connection between individuals who have established knowledge of one another, explicitly excluding relationships formed for the purpose of gambling. It also revises the definition of "profit" to encompass any financial gain rather than just benefits from transactions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
