Summary

Existing law makes it either a misdemeanor or a felony, punishable by imprisonment in either a county jail or in the state prison, for a person, whether or not for gain, hire, or reward, to make a betting pool or place a bet or wager on the result of any contest or event, including a sporting event, as specified. This bill would create an exception to that provision, making it an infraction, punishable by a fine not to exceed $250, for a person, not for gain, hire, or reward, other than that at stake under conditions available to every participant, to participate in a bet, wager, or betting pool with another person or group of persons who are not acting for gain, hire, or reward other than that at stake under conditions available to every participant, on the result of any contest or event, including a sporting event, as specified. This exception would not apply to any bet, bets, wager, wagers, or betting pool or pools made online or to betting pools with more than $2,500 at stake.
