Rule 544d. (1) A fantasy contest player must be allowed to withdraw the funds
maintained in his or her fantasy contest player account, whether the account is open or
closed, except as otherwise provided in these rules or any applicable state or federal law.
(2) A fantasy contest operator or licensed management company must honor the fantasy
contest playerโs request to withdraw funds within 10 business days after the request, unless
the conditions set forth in subrule (3) of this rule are met.
(3) The fantasy contest operator or licensed management company may decline to honor
a fantasy contest playerโs request to withdraw funds only if the fantasy contest operator or
licensed management company believes in good faith that the fantasy contest player
engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put the fantasy contest
operator or licensed management company in violation of the act and these rules or any
other applicable state or federal law. In such cases, the fantasy contest operator or licensed
management company must do all of the following:
(a) Provide notice to the fantasy contest player of the nature of the investigation of the
fantasy contest player account.
(b) Conduct its investigation in a reasonable and expedient fashion, providing the
fantasy contest player additional written notice of the status of the investigation every tenth
business day starting from the day the original notice was provided to the fantasy contest
player.
(4) For purposes of this rule, a request for withdrawal is considered honored if it is
processed by the fantasy contest operator or licensed management company
notwithstanding a delay by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or the custodian of a
financial account.
