Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would create a legal framework in Kentucky for fantasy contest operators, such as daily fantasy sports platforms, to be licensed and regulated by the state. It sets rules covering age limits, fraud prevention, geolocation requirements, background checks, independent audits, and problem gambling resources. A new tax on fantasy contest revenue would fund a dedicated state administration account. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who participate in paid fantasy sports contests, fantasy contest operators doing business in the state, and people on the state's self-exclusion list for gambling.
