Gaming; revise definition of fantasy contests.
This bill would have updated Mississippi's rules for fantasy sports contests by clarifying the definition of "fantasy contest" (based on athlete statistics, not team scores) and adding new requirements for businesses operating them. Key provisions include restricting entries per player based on contest size (e.g., 1 entry for small contests, up to 3% for large ones), banning contests tied to youth/collegiate sports, mandating transparency about median winnings, and requiring businesses to protect player funds. It would have directly affected fantasy contest businesses and players in Mississippi. However, the bill died in committee on February 13, 2025, and did not become law.
