Texas HB4132 amends the definition of a bet for gambling criminal offenses purposes.
Texas HB4132 amends the Penal Code to redefine "bet" for gambling criminal offenses purposes. A bet now includes an offer to win a prize, award, or compensation to participants of a paid fantasy sports league. A paid fantasy sports league is defined as a contest where participants pay a fee, assemble fictional sports teams, and compete for prizes based on actual athletes' performances. The law excludes certain activities from the definition of a bet, such as contracts of indemnity, insurance, and offers of merchandise at carnivals.
