Text

A. A permit holder shall implement age-verification procedures to verify that no sports bet is placed by or on behalf of an individual younger than 21 years of age.

B. A permit holder shall promptly refund any money wagered by or on behalf of a minor and close the account. A permit holder may withhold and, if practicable and as approved by the department, redistribute to other winners any winnings won by a minor upon a good faith determination, following reasonable investigation, that the minor misrepresented his age in order to place a sports bet.

C. A permit holder shall make available, publish, and facilitate parental control procedures to allow parents or guardians to exclude minors from access to any sports betting platform.
