Bill > SB0120

This bill introduces new regulations regarding proposition bets in sports wagering, specifically targeting collegiate athletes. The legislation defines a "proposition bet" as a wager on a specific event or outcome within a game that is not directly tied to the final score. Under the new law, sports betting certificate holders and vendors are prohibited from accepting proposition bets from collegiate athletes in the sport they play. Additionally, the Indiana Gaming Commission is authorized to impose a civil penalty of up to $10,000 on any collegiate athlete who attempts to or successfully places a proposition bet in their own sport. Any civil penalties collected under this provision will be deposited into the state general fund. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and maintain the integrity of collegiate sports by restricting athletes from betting on their own competitions.
