WAGER Act
This bill (S 2773, the WAGER Act) removes an excise tax on sports betting wagers that comply with state laws or tribal gaming compacts. It directly affects sports betting operators and bettors in states where sports betting is legal, as well as tribal gaming operations with approved compacts. The key provision exempts wagers placed on sporting events from the tax, provided they are not prohibited under state law or tribal agreements. The change applies to wagers placed after the bill becomes law.
