The measure, <strong>House Bill 2205<\/strong>, is framed as a \u201csports wagering integrity\u201d update aimed at strengthening the regulated market that currently operates exclusively through tribal gaming compacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest headline is <strong>college sports<\/strong>. HB 2205 would remove language that effectively barred wagering tied to <strong>Washington-based colleges<\/strong>, opening the door to bets on in-state teams. At the same time, it draws a bright line on athlete integrity: the bill would <strong>prohibit wagers on the performance or nonperformance of any specifically named individual participant<\/strong> enrolled at a Washington institution\u2014effectively blocking player-prop style bets on local college athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9622\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill also clarifies how digital betting can function on tribal properties. Washington already permits transmission of wagering information over the internet only when a bettor is <strong>physically present on a tribal casino premises<\/strong>. HB 2205 tweaks the statutory wording in a way supporters say could enable more flexible app-based wagering experiences on-site, without creating statewide online betting. HB 2205 received a public hearing on January 16 in the House State Government &amp; Tribal Relations Committee, with an executive session scheduled for January 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington\u2019s HB 2205 would allow betting on in-state college teams, ban props on local athletes, and keep mobile wagering limited to tribal casino premises. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14887,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1458,105,4582],"class_list":{"0":"post-14886","1":"america","2":"type-america","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sin-categoria","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-sports-betting","10":"tag-washington","11":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
