Rule 3770:2-8-04 | Responsibilities of excluded facilities under the jurisdiction of the Ohio lottery commission.
(A) This section applies only to excluded facilities and excluded entities under the jurisdiction of the Ohio lottery commission. Each excluded facility and excluded entity must maintain a system for indicating whether an individual is in the Ohio VEP and must update that system with changes in the enrollment status of these individuals at least once every seven days.
(B) An excluded facility must immediately notify an Ohio lottery commission employee if an Ohio VEP participant is found on the premises of the excluded facility. Within seventy-two hours of the incident, the excluded facility must provide a written report to the Ohio lottery commission containing the following information:
(1) The individual's name;
(2) The individual's date of birth;
(3) The circumstances of discovery of the individual's presence at the facility;
(4) The individual's gaming activity, if any; and
(5) The amount of any jackpots, VLT credits and/or vouchers in the possession of the individual, or any prize won, claimed, or attempted to be claimed, at an excluded facility.
(C) Nothing in this rule requires an excluded facility or excluded entity to notify the Ohio lottery commission of an individual found on premises who was on property solely for purposes of:
(1) Seeking removal from the Ohio VEP; or
(2) Claiming payments owed to the participant.
(D) Each excluded facility and excluded entity must comply with the Ohio lottery commission's operating standards to reports on Ohio VEP participants who violated the terms of the Ohio VEP contained in Chapters 3770:2-8 and 3772-12 of the Administrative Code.
(E) Any amounts of money or things of value reported in paragraph (B)(5) of this rule will be remitted to the Ohio lottery commission in accordance with financial processing procedures. Each excluded entity must notify an Ohio lottery commission employee if an Ohio VEP participant attempts to claim a prize that is reportable to the IRS. Any amounts of money must be remitted to the Ohio lottery commission in accordance with financial processing procedures.
(F) Nothing in this chapter will prohibit an excluded facility, an excluded entity, or its employees and agents from seeking payment of a debt from an Ohio VEP participant if the debt was accrued prior to the individual's participation in the program.
(G) No sports gaming wager that is currently pending at the time of a participant's enrollment in the Ohio VEP may be voided or canceled by either party solely due to that participant's enrollment.
