Summary
Legal Sports Report reported on 9 October 2026 that Wyoming’s Select Committee on Gaming sent draft 27LSO-0098 to the Management Council, which will decide whether to sponsor it ahead of the 2027 session. The draft would classify online casino and sweepstakes activity as professional gambling, which carries felony charges; Pennsylvania’s HB 2801 proposes fines of $50,000 to $500,000 per violation and remains in committee without a hearing.
Why it matters
The proposals could change how sweepstakes gaming operators and related service providers are treated in Wyoming and Pennsylvania.
