Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Charitable raffles get a gambling exemption
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming excludes charitable raffles and drawings from its definition of gambling. They must be held for charitable purposes. After paying all costs, supplies, and winnings, 100% of the remaining net proceeds must go to charitable purposes.
Private games among friends get gambling exemption
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming excludes qualifying private social games, wagers, and transactions from its definition of gambling. The activity must be part of a genuine social relationship between at least two people who know each other. Their relationship cannot have started for gambling, and only people—not companies or other organizations—may participate. Activities must be private, not advertised, and closed to public participation. They must occur at a private place, or a business or fraternal group whose main revenue is not from gambling. Nobody may be paid to arrange, host, or participate except through direct winnings, and the activity cannot be professional gambling.
Wyoming updates gambling and profit rules
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming defines gambling as risking property for financial gain based wholly or partly on chance. This covers games using cards, dice, balls, or gambling devices. It also covers wagers on events the person cannot control, including sporting events. The law defines profit as any financial gain, replacing earlier wording about benefits and exclusions.
