HB 243, Gambling Revisions, effective 6 May 2026, narrowed the amusement-device and promotional-activity carve-outs that sweepstakes-style and dual-currency gaming platforms had previously relied upon to structure around the gambling prohibition. The amusement-device exemption, under Utah Code Section 76-10-1101, had exempted promotional activities clearly ancillary to a business's primary activity; HB 243 narrows that perimeter. There remains no application process, licence form, or issuing regulator, because no licensed gambling activity is permitted to exist in Utah under current law.
