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 various forms of games and events where property is risked for gain, while also specifying exceptions. Notably, it introduces new criteria for what constitutes permissible activities, such as requiring that games be incidental to a bona fide social relationship, conducted privately, and not advertised for public participation. Additionally, it stipulates that no person involved in these activities can receive remuneration beyond winnings.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a new definition for "bona fide social relationship," emphasizing that such relationships must be genuine and not formed solely for the purpose of gambling. It also modifies the definition of "profit" to encompass any financial gain rather than just direct benefits. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
