La. Admin. Code tit. 42 § XV-1145

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024

Section XV-1145 - Protection for Problem or Compulsive Gamblers

A. Self-Restriction

1. The operator shall allow a player to restrict themselves from placing a sports wager or accessing a sports wagering account for a specific period of time, minimum of which shall be 30 days, as determined by the player and shall implement procedures to prevent the person from placing sports wagers.

2. The operator shall develop and maintain an online self-restriction form and a process to exclude any person from placing a sports wager who completes and submits the form to the operator and shall provide a mechanism on its sports wagering platforms to access the online selfrestriction form. The operator shall retain each submitted online self-restriction form and restrict such persons from placing a sports wager and may close the player-us sports wagering account for the specified time.

3. Online self-restriction is different than submitting for the state-us self-exclusion list. When a player chooses the option of self-restriction, the operator shall notify the requester of the option to also self-exclude with the state.

B. Self-Imposed Limits

1. The operator shall implement and maintain procedures that allow players to limit themselves from:

a. placing a sports wager for a set period of time;

b. paying more than a certain amount of money for a sports wager; and

c. depositing more than a set amount of funds into their sports wagering account.

d. players shall have the option to adjust the selflimits to make them more restrictive as often as they choose but shall not have the option to make the time period or limits less restrictive within 72 hours of setting. Any change must provide a prompt to ensure the player is aware of the change and the player must then confirm the change.

C. The operator shall enforce the limitations placed upon sports wagering accounts by:

1. providing a plan to honor requests from players to self-restrict or self-limit or self-exclude;

2. providing a plan to ensure that, immediately upon a player self-restricting or self-excluding, no sports wagers or deposits are accepted from that player until the selfrestriction expires or is removed or the self-exclusion is terminated;

3. providing a plan to allow a player that self-restricts or self-excludes to access and withdraw remaining funds from his sports wagering account; and

4. ensuring self-restricted and self-excluded persons do not receive marketing or advertisement during the period of self-restriction or self-exclusion.

D. The operator shall provide the information necessary for a person to self-exclude.

F. The operator shall comply with all requirements of the Act, these rules, and internal controls.
