Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law for the Regulation of Sports Betting (Amendment No. 7 – temporary provision) established amendments concerning the transfer of support funds from the Council for the Regulation of Sports Betting directly to sports associations and sports clubs rather than through sports organizations, and provided that officeholders in the associations and clubs shall undergo training as a condition for receiving support; the Minister of Culture and Sport shall determine the types of activities and services for which the support funds may be used; an amendment regarding budgeting for the prevention of violence and racism in sport; and the procedures for distributing support shall also be published online in order to increase transparency. The law that was passed converted the temporary provision, which had been valid for three years, into a permanent provision, and also added an arrangement whereby a sports association or sports club may assign in advance, by agreement, the right to amounts to which it is entitled as support from the Council to a sports organization, subject to certain conditions, including compliance with criteria for advance financing and compliance with a certain assignment ceiling out of the expected support for all associations and clubs receiving services from that sports organization.
