Revise fantasy sports laws
This bill (LC 706) establishes a regulatory framework for online fantasy sports contests in Montana. It requires operators to obtain a license from the Department of Justice, pay fees, and report financial data, while defining "fantasy sports contests" as skill-based games (not luck-based) where prizes are determined by player knowledge of athlete statistics. The law creates a tax on "internet fantasy sports contest adjusted revenues" and grants the Department of Justice authority to regulate operators, investigate violations, and impose penalties. It directly affects fantasy sports service providers seeking to operate legally in Montana and players aged 18+ participating in these contests.
