(2) The executive director may place an individual’s name in the responsible gaming
database for any of the following reasons:
(a) The individual has been convicted in any jurisdiction of a felony, a crime of moral
turpitude, or a crime involving gaming.
(b) The individual has violated the act or another gaming-related law.
(c) The individual has performed an act or has a notorious or unsavory reputation
such that the individual's participation in sports betting under the act would
adversely affect public confidence and trust in sports betting.
(d) The individual's name is on a valid and current exclusion list maintained by this
state or another jurisdiction in the United States.
(e) A court has ordered the placement of an individual’s name in the responsible
gaming database.
(f) The sports betting operator or internet sports betting platform provider has
requested an individual’s name be included in the responsible gaming database.
(g) Any other reason the executive director considers appropriate to protect the
integrity of internet sports betting under the act and these rules.
(3) A sports betting operator or internet sports betting platform provider may request an
individual’s name be included in the responsible gaming database. The request must
be done in the manner and form prescribed by the executive director, but must at a
minimum include all of the following:
(a) The individual’s name and other identifying information.
(b) The reason why the sports betting operator or internet sports betting platform
provider believes the individual should be included.
(c) Any evidence that supports the request.
(d) Any other information requested by the executive director.
(4) If the executive director places an individual in the responsible gaming database, it
shall notify the individual. This notification must include the basis for the
individual’s placement in the responsible gaming database and explain that the
individual is prohibited from establishing an internet sports betting account or
participating in internet sports betting offered under the act and these rules.
(5) An excluded person may request a hearing under these rules to contest placement in
the responsible gaming database. It is the excluded person’s responsibility to prove
by clear and convincing evidence why he or she should not be in the responsible
gaming database.
(6) Involuntary placement in the responsible gaming database is permanent, unless
removed by the executive director. The executive director shall only remove an
excluded person from the responsible gaming database if the excluded person no
longer satisfies the criteria for placement.
