Cite as Mich. Admin. Code R 432.539
Rule 539. (1) In order to determine the location of a fantasy contest player for purposes of
identifying in-state participants and calculating the in-state percentage, a fantasy contest
operator or licensed management company must utilize a geolocation system to reasonably
detect and accurately pinpoint the physical location of a fantasy contest player each time a
fantasy contest operator or licensed management company collects an entry fee from the
fantasy contest player or otherwise allows a fantasy contest player to enter a fantasy
contest.
(2) In order to prevent the unauthorized use of a fantasy contest player account, the
geolocation system must be equipped to monitor for and block attempts to enter or
participate in fantasy contests by any single account from geographically inconsistent
locations.
(3) A fantasy contest operator or licensed management company may use a third party to
provide the geolocation system.
(4) Unless otherwise directed by the board, all geolocation systems must meet technical
specifications and requirements that are generally accepted in the fantasy contest industry
in the United States.
