USA - Wyoming Home Poker Law

To assess a home poker game in Wyoming, start with Wyoming Statutes, Title 6. Review sections 6-7-101 and 6-7-102. Section 6-7-101 has a social-relationship exclusion with participant, privacy, advertising and remuneration conditions. Read the whole exclusion and professional-gambling definition.

Before hosting or joining, confirm:

• Is there an established social relationship independent of gambling, and do all privacy, advertising and remuneration conditions hold?
• Do the rules cover this private residence, club, business or public event?
• How do rake, seat fees, required purchases, donations or other organizer benefits affect the game?
• What limits or conditions apply to wagers, player winnings, entry fees and prizes?
• What age and other participation requirements apply?

Use the official source to identify the applicable conditions and effective amendments. A private venue or game without rake is only part of the assessment.
