§ 4852. General provisions. (a) Statement of policy and purpose. — The State of Delaware enters this compact to implement the operation of Tri-State Lotto, for the purpose of raising additional revenue for each of the party states.

Tri-State Lotto tickets will be sold in each area to be determined by the Commission. Fifty percent of the gross sales from each state will be aggregated in a common prize pool, and operating costs will be charged proportionally to the sales made by each of the party states. The remaining revenues generated within each state will remain in that particular state. (b) Definitions. — (1) “Commission” means the Tri-State Lotto Commission or its successor, created and established by this Compact; (2) “Concurrent legislation” means legislation enacted by one of the party states which is concurred in by the other party states in the form of enactments having like effect; (3) “Lotto” means a game of lotto as prescribed by the Commission; (4) “Party states” means the states of New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Delaware; and (5) “Tri-State Lotto” means a combined lotto game for all member states, with common tickets, common advertising and a common prize pool.66 Del.

2021 Delaware Code|Title 29 - State Government|Chapter 48. Lotteries|Subchapter III. Interactive Fantasy Contests|§ 4861. Legislative findings and purpose.

§ 4861. Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that:  (1) Interactive fantasy sports are not games of chance because they consist of fantasy sports games or contests in which the fantasy sports teams are selected based upon the skill and knowledge of the participants and not based on the current membership of an actual team that is a member of an amateur or professional sports organization; (2) Interactive fantasy sports contests are not wagers on future contingent events and are not under the contestants' control or influence because contestants have control over which players they choose and the outcome of each contest is not dependent upon the performance of any 1 player or any 1 actual team. The outcome of any fantasy sports contest does not correspond to the outcome of any 1 sporting event. Instead, the outcome depends on how the performances of participants' fantasy roster choices compare to the performance of others' roster choices. (b) Based on the findings in subsection (a) of this section, the General Assembly declares that interactive fantasy sports do not constitute gambling in Delaware within the meaning of §§ 1401-1431 of Title 11. (c) The General Assembly further finds that as the Internet has become an integral part of society, and interactive fantasy sports a major form of entertainment for many consumers, any interactive fantasy sports enforcement and regulatory structure must begin from the bedrock premise that participation is lawful and licensed interactive fantasy sports industry is a privilege and not a right, and that regulatory oversight is intended to safeguard the integrity of the games and participants to ensure accountability and the public trust. Interactive fantasy sports should continue to be enjoyed broadly and offered by licensed interactive fantasy sports operators in the state and not exclusively by any single brick and mortar casino. 81 Del.
