Bill Summary

AN ACT to create 945.01 (1) (h) of the statutes; relating to: excluding certain event or sports wagers from the def- inition of “bet”.

AI Summary

This bill amends Wisconsin statutes to exclude certain event or sports wagers from the legal definition of a "bet." Specifically, it creates a new provision, 945.01 (1) (h), which states that an event or sports wager made by someone physically in Wisconsin using a mobile or electronic device will not be considered a bet if the server or device processing the wager is located on federally recognized American Indian tribal lands within the state, and if the wagering is conducted under an Indian gaming compact that was originally established before April 1, 1993. This change clarifies that such wagers are considered to have occurred on those Indian lands where the server is located, providing context for the regulation of sports betting within the state.
