R 432.651a Age and identity verification.

Rule 651a. (1) An internet gaming operator or internet gaming platform provider must verify an individual’s identity before allowing that individual to create an internet wagering account and place an internet wager. (2) Only an individual who is 21 years of age or older and not a prohibited person may create an internet wagering account, deposit funds, or participate in internet wagering. The internet gaming operator or internet gaming platform provider must deny the ability to create an internet wagering account, deposit funds, or participate in internet wagering to any individual who is under 21 years of age or is a prohibited person. This subrule shall not be construed to prevent an individual from creating an internet gaming account and depositing funds to such an account even if they are prohibited from placing certain wagers. (3) An internet gaming operator or internet gaming platform provider must use commercially available and demonstrable standards to confirm that an individual attempting to create an internet wagering account is not a prohibited person. (4) Third-party service providers may be used for age and identity verification of individuals attempting to create internet wagering accounts.
