Indiana enacted two restrictive gambling-adjacent instruments this period: a prohibition on online sweepstakes games built on dual- or multi-currency systems where virtual currency can be exchanged for cash or prizes (House Bill 1052, enacted as Public Law 153, signed 12 March 2026, effective 1 July 2026), and a collegiate athlete proposition-bet restriction (Senate Bill 120, effective 1 July 2026). Separately, the Indiana Gaming Commission unanimously denied a broader NCAA petition to prohibit all college player proposition bets statewide, deferring that policy question to the legislature rather than resolving it through administrative rulemaking. The commission also granted ten procedural rule waivers to Indiana casinos since June 2025, covering promotions review, staffing, and badge-wear requirements, indicating a lighter-touch administrative posture on non-integrity matters even as the legislature tightens rules on unlicensed adjacent product categories.
