91: Betting contracts enforceable

You could also call this:

“You can take legal action if someone doesn't pay up on a fair bet”

You can legally enforce betting contracts that are allowed under this law. This means if someone makes a bet that follows the rules set out in this act, they can go to court if there’s a problem with the bet. For example, if someone wins a bet but doesn’t get paid, they can ask the court to help them get their money.
