(2) A fantasy contest operator or licensed management company must honor the fantasy contest player's request to withdraw funds within 10 business days after the request, unless the conditions set forth in subrule (3) of this rule are met.
(3) The fantasy contest operator or licensed management company may decline to honor a fantasy contest player's request to withdraw funds only if the fantasy contest operator or licensed management company believes in good faith that the fantasy contest player engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put the fantasy contest operator or licensed management company in violation of the act and these rules or any other applicable state or federal law. In such cases, the fantasy contest operator or licensed management company must do all of the following:
(a) Provide notice to the fantasy contest player of the nature of the investigation of the fantasy contest player account.
