Gaming - Prohibition on Interactive Games and Revenue From Illegal Markets
What changed between versions
The definition of 'Interactive Game' was substantially rewritten to require that games involve consideration, chance, and reward, and to exclude free-to-play games or those not connected to the internet.
New provisions require licensees to report business relationships with entities known to support or operate interactive games in the state, and added specific conditions for knowingly violating the section.
The disclosure requirement for revenue from illegal interactive gaming markets was removed and replaced with a new requirement to report business relationships with relevant entities.
Fines imposed under the section are now distributed to the Problem Gambling Fund, establishing a specific fund for these penalties.
Several section references were updated, including changing references from 9-1E-03 to 9-1A-08.1, and reorganizing the structure of the bill sections.
