The bill amends the distribution of online sports wagering revenue in Wyoming, specifically focusing on funding for programs related to problem gambling treatment. It mandates that sports wagering operators remit ten percent of their online sports wagering revenue to the commission by the fifteenth day of each month. The first $300,000 of this revenue will now be continuously appropriated to the commission, which will use these funds to support programs aimed at preventing and treating problematic gambling behavior.

Additionally, the bill allows the commission to contract with external entities for the provision of these programs. This change replaces the previous requirement for the funds to be distributed to the department of health and counties for health programs. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
