AI Summary
This bill modifies Oklahoma's gambling laws by defining "online casino games" as any gambling accessible via the internet or similar devices, and "representative of value" to include currency used in dual-currency payment systems that can be exchanged for prizes or chances to win. It expands the scope of prohibited gambling activities to include these online games and clarifies that the prohibition applies to individuals or entities involved as owners, employees, geolocation providers, gaming suppliers, platform providers, promoters, or media affiliates who deal or provide support for such games, with exceptions for authorized charity games and certain Indian lands. The bill also updates statutory references and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
