R19-2-506. Claims for Payment from Pari-mutuel Pool

At a designated location, a written, verified claim for payment from a pari-mutuel pool shall be accepted by the permittee in any case where the permittee has withheld payment or has refused to cash a pari-mutuel wager. The claim shall be made on such form as approved by the Department, and the claimant shall make such claim under penalty of perjury. The original of such claim shall be forwarded to the Department within 48 hours. 1. In the case of a claim made for payment of a mutilated pari-mutuel ticket which does not contain the total imprinted elements required pursuant to R19-2-503(1) of these rules, the permittee shall make a recommendation to accompany the claim forwarded to the Department as to whether or not the mutilated ticket has sufficient elements to be positively identified as a winning ticket. 2. In the case of a claim made for payment on a pari-mutuel wager, the Department shall adjudicate the claim and may order payment thereon from the pari-mutuel pool or by the permittee, or may deny the claim, or may make such other order as it may deem proper.
