House Bill 189 proposes people who knowingly place bets on rigged games.
US.- A new Florida bill proposes penalties for people who knowingly place bets on rigged games. House Bill 189, sponsored by Republican Rep. Dana Trabulsy, would make it a third-degree felony to place a wager on any sporting event, professional or amateur, if the bettor knows the result has been rigged. It updates existing laws that already make it illegal to bribe players to throw a game.
A bill focusing on tightening restrictions on online gambling in Florida was proposed earlier this year but stalled before reaching a vote.
The proposal is part of a nearly 100-page package that also seeks to increase penalties for illegal gambling, authorise the operation of fantasy sports contests, clarify employee prohibitions governing the Florida Gaming Control Commission and revise reporting requirements related to changes in ownership for pari-mutuel wagering permit holders. It would also preempy local governments from regulating gaming activities unless expressly provided in Florida law.”
