Fantasy contest operators would follow age and contest rules

The text defines a fantasy contest as an online game with entry fees and prizes, where skill and accumulated statistics help decide who wins. This covers online fantasy or simulated contests, but not social fantasy contests. Prizes must be set and announced before the contest; their value cannot depend on the number of participants or the total fees collected. Winners must be decided using combined statistics from at least two individuals, not the performance of one team or one athlete in one event. The text treats qualifying contests as skill contests, not gambling. Its rule that they are not sports wagering applies only when prizes are partly funded by entry fees and the contests meet the other definition requirements. These provisions would take effect 60 days after enactment.

Licensed operators would have to check participants' age, location, and identity before they deposit money, and keep people under 21 from opening accounts or entering contests. The checks apply to participants located in Pennsylvania. These provisions would take effect 60 days after enactment.

Licensed operators could not offer a fantasy contest that fails the federal rules for fantasy sports. This applies to fantasy contests offered by licensed operators. This provision would take effect 60 days after enactment.
