Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Sports Wagering Act. Provides that "sports wagering" also includes participation in any prediction market involving a sports event or any portion of a sports event, or the individual performance statistics of athletes in a sports event, including the offering, listing, solicitation, purchase, sale, trading, exchange, or settlement of any event contract, sports-event contract, or other contract, agreement, or transaction, whether described as a derivative, option, binary contract, or similar instrument, in which a person risks something of value on the occurrence, nonoccurrence, or outcome of such sports event or any portion of a sports event or athlete performance statistics; such activity constitutes sports wagering regardless of whether the contract, agreement, or transaction is entered into on a peer-to-peer basis, whether participants take positions against one another rather than against the operator, whether the operator is not a counterparty to the transaction, or whether the operator describes the activity as an investing opportunity, exchange, marketplace, or prediction market.
