This bill clarifies the definition of gambling.

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah's gambling law already bans wagering on games of chance, and this bill adds "proposition bets" — bets placed on a specific action, statistic, or event occurring or not occurring during an athletic competition — to the legal definition of gambling. This means sports prop bets, such as wagering on how many yards a player will rush or whether a certain play will happen, are explicitly covered under Utah's gambling prohibition rather than potentially existing in a legal gray area.
