Bill > SF3414

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for mobile sports betting in Minnesota, focusing primarily on sports betting conducted by Indian Tribes through online platforms. The bill creates a detailed regulatory system that includes licensing requirements, operational guidelines, consumer protections, and taxation provisions. Specifically, the bill allows up to 11 Indian Tribes to obtain mobile sports betting operator licenses, with strict rules around age verification, responsible gambling measures, and advertising restrictions. Licensed operators must implement safeguards like personal betting limits, self-exclusion options, and mechanisms to prevent underage or problematic gambling. The bill imposes a 22% tax on online sports betting net revenue and establishes multiple accounts to distribute these funds, including allocations for problem gambling support, amateur sports grants, and tribal equalization. Additionally, the bill creates new criminal provisions related to sports betting, such as prohibiting wagers by athletes or those with insider information, and establishes reporting and study requirements to monitor the impacts of sports betting. The legislation aims to provide a structured, regulated approach to sports betting that prioritizes consumer protection, responsible gambling, and responsible economic development.
