Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 1900.1130 - Requests to Prohibit
Pursuant to Section 25-15(g) of the Act, the Board may prohibit a type or form of wagering, or wagering on a specific sport, event, league, or competition, that would otherwise be permitted under the Act and this Part, if it concludes the wagering in question would be contrary to public policy, unfair to consumers, or affects the integrity of a particular sport or the sports wagering industry.
a) A
master sports wagering licensee, professional sports team, league, or
association, sports governing body, institution of higher education, or the
Administrator may submit to the Board a request to prohibit a type or form of
wagering, or wagering on a specific sport, event, league or
competition.
b) The request must be
in writing, and shall include the following:
1) A detailed description of the type or form
of wagering, or the sport, event, league, or competition; and
2) A detailed description of how the wagering
in question is contrary to public policy, unfair to consumers, or affects the
integrity of a particular sport or the sports wagering industry.
c) The Board shall post a copy of
the request to its website for public review.
d) Licensees may submit comments or responses
in writing to be considered by the Board. Any such comments or responses shall
be submitted to the Board not later than 14 days after the request is
posted.
e) All requests pursuant to
this Section shall be exempt from Section
1900.110(b).
f) If a request is for prohibition of
wagering on a specific event, the Board shall decide upon the request prior to
that event, unless the first regularly scheduled Board meeting after the
conclusion of the comment period is scheduled to occur after the start of the
event. In that case, the Board shall decide upon the request at the first
regularly scheduled Board meeting after the conclusion of the comment
period.
g) If the Board grants the
request, the type or form of wagering shall be deemed a prohibited wager,
subject to the provisions of Section 1900.1120(b).
h) If the Board grants the request, any
unredeemed wagers placed prior to the Board's decision shall be
cancelled.
i) Temporary Suspension
1) On the date the request is posted or at
any time thereafter, the Administrator may temporarily suspend wagering of the
type or form of wagering identified in the request if the Administrator
determines that the wagering poses a significant likelihood of serious risk to
the integrity of sports wagering in Illinois or the public health, safety,
morals, good order or general welfare of the people of the State of
Illinois.
2) During the period of
temporary suspension, no wagers of the type or form subject to the request may
be placed or redeemed.
3) The
Administrator may rescind the temporary suspension at any time.
4) The temporary suspension shall be
rescinded upon issuance of a final Board order.
j) A master sports wagering licensee,
professional sports team, league, association, sports governing body,
institution of higher education, or the Administrator may request that a
prohibition previously instituted pursuant to this Section be removed.
1) The Board shall post a copy of the request
to its website for public review.
2) The Board shall not vote to lift any
prohibition until at least 30 days after the public posting of the
request.
