R 432.532c Exclusion of individuals.

Rule 532c. (1) A fantasy contest operator or licensed management company must implement commercially reasonable procedures and internal controls to exclude from entry or participation in fantasy contests any individual the board determines must be excluded to protect the integrity of fantasy contests under the act and these rules. (2) An individual excluded under this rule is prohibited from establishing a fantasy contest player account and from entering or participating in fantasy contests. (3) If the board determines an individual must be excluded under this rule, the board shall notify the individual. The notification must include the basis for the exclusion and explain that the individual is prohibited from establishing a fantasy contest player account and from entering or participating in fantasy contests offered under the act and these rules. (4) An individual excluded under this rule may request a hearing as set forth in part 1 of these rules to contest their exclusion from fantasy contests. It is the excluded individual’s responsibility to prove by clear and convincing evidence why he or she should not be excluded. (5) Exclusion under this rule is permanent unless the board decides to rescind the exclusion. An exclusion shall only be rescinded if the board determines that the individual no longer poses a threat to the integrity of fantasy contests under the act and these rules. (6) The board shall provide each fantasy contest operator and licensed management company with information the board considers necessary to carry out the purposes of this rule. Fantasy contest operators and licensed management companies may only use the information to exclude individuals as required under this rule. Use of the information for any other purpose may result in disciplinary action by the board against the fantasy contest operator or licensed management company or a civil fine. Nothing in this subrule is intended to preclude the disclosure of the information pursuant to subpoena or other legal process.
