Concerning the regulated sports wagering industry.

Summary

SB 6137 updates Washington’s gambling statutes to define sports wagering, permit tribal casinos to offer betting on professional, collegiate, Olympic, and esports events (with restrictions on Washington‑based college teams and minor leagues), and allows online transmission of betting data only when the bettor is on‑site. It also creates new criminal offenses for bribery, insider information, and threats related to betting. The changes aim to grow a tightly regulated betting market and protect integrity.
