Section 3775.08 - Sports gaming supplier license(A) A sports gaming supplier shall hold an appropriate and valid sports gaming supplier license issued by the Ohio casino control commission at all times. The commission may accept another jurisdiction's license, if the commission determines it has similar licensing requirements, as evidence that the applicant meets the requirements for a license issued under this section. The commission shall issue a sports gaming supplier license to a person or entity that meets the requirements of this chapter and of the commission's rules, provided that the commission's rules shall not require an applicant for a sports gaming supplier license who currently holds a video lottery license issued under Chapter 3770. or a license issued under Chapter 3772. of the Revised Code to take action to satisfy any additional requirement for the sports gaming supplier license that is substantially similar to any requirement the applicant previously has satisfied in order to obtain or renew the applicant's video lottery license or license issued under Chapter 3772. of the Revised Code.(B) An applicant for an initial or renewed sports gaming supplier license shall apply for the license on a form prescribed by the commission and shall pay the fee required under division (C)(3) of section 109.572 of the Revised Code, along with a nonrefundable application fee of ten thousand dollars. The commission may annually increase the amount of the application fee in an amount that does not exceed the percentage increase in the consumer price index for the previous year, as necessary to cover the cost of processing the application. As used in this division, "consumer price index" means the consumer price index for all urban consumers or its successive equivalent, as determined by the United States department of labor, bureau of labor statistics, or its successor in responsibility, for all items, Series A.(C) Upon receiving an initial or renewed sports gaming supplier license, the applicant shall pay a nonrefundable license fee of fifteen thousand dollars.(D) A sports gaming supplier license shall be valid for a term of three years. In order to renew a sports gaming supplier license, the licensee shall apply to the commission for a renewed license in the same manner as for an initial license.Added by 134th General Assembly, HB 29,§1, eff. 3/23/2022.
