Sports Integrity

Sports Integrity (a) Licensees shall adopt approved internal controls to identify wagers which may indicate cheating, manipulation, interference with the regular conduct of sport, or violations of the integrity of any sport on which wagers were made. (b) Licensees shall file as soon as reasonably possible, but in no case more than twelve (12) hours, an integrity alert report detailing the suspicious activity to the Executive Director, or his designee, on forms provided by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. (c) If the Executive Director deems the threat credible, he may send the alert to other licensees and may suspend betting or require that wagers be voided on the event(s). (d) If a Licensee receives notice of suspicious activity at another property, they must respond within twelve (12) hours to confirm or deny similar betting trends and activity. (e) In the event of generating or receiving an alert, the licensees affected shall maintain all relevant information regarding the bet and the bettor. (f) Information contained in alerts may be shared with law enforcement, sports governing bodies, or other entities as deemed necessary by the Executive Director to maintain the integrity of wagering in Mississippi. A licensee and its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall maintain the confidentiality of information provided by a sports governing body to the licensee, unless disclosure is required by the Mississippi Gaming Control Act, the Commission or court order. (g) The Executive Director may impose any additional conditions reasonably necessary on a licensee to address risks to the integrity of sport and sports betting.
