Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 1900.130 - Cooperation with Investigations
The Board finds that the integrity of sports wagering and the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the State of Illinois can be ensured only through cooperation by the Board, law enforcement agencies, licensees, and sports governing bodies.
a) Board Cooperation with Investigations by
Law Enforcement Agencies and Sports Governing Bodies
1) A law enforcement agency or sports
governing body may submit a request for cooperation to the Administrator. The
request for cooperation shall be in writing and shall include the following:
A) Name and address of the agency or entity
making the request;
B) Name, title,
phone number, and email address of the individual making the request;
C) A summary of the general nature of the
conduct under investigation; and
D)
A description of the information, data, records, or other cooperation
desired.
2) The
Administrator may grant or deny the request for cooperation. Denial of a
request for cooperation shall be in writing. In evaluating a request for
cooperation, the Administrator shall consider all factors, including, but not
limited to:
A) The nature and extent of
cooperation requested;
B) The
nature of the behavior being alleged;
C) The benefit to the integrity and security
of sports wagering in the State of Illinois; and
D) Whether and to what extent granting the
request would adversely impact the ongoing operations of the Board, the State
of Illinois, or the sports wagering industry in Illinois.
b) Licensee Cooperation with
Investigations by Law Enforcement Agencies and Sports Governing Bodies
1) A law enforcement agency or sports
governing body may submit a request for cooperation to a master sports wagering
licensee or management services provider licensee, with a copy submitted to the
Administrator. The request for cooperation shall be in writing and shall
include the following:
A) Name and address of
the agency or entity making the request;
B) Name, title, phone number, and email
address of the individual making the request;
C) A summary of the general nature of the
conduct under investigation; and
D)
A description of the information, data, records, or other cooperation
desired.
2) The licensee
may voluntarily grant or deny the request for cooperation. Denial of a request
for cooperation shall be in writing, and shall be submitted to the requesting
entity and the Administrator. A denial of a request for cooperation by a master
sports wagering licensee must be for good cause, and must include a detailed
explanation as to why the licensee will not cooperate.
3) Upon receiving a denial of a request for
cooperation from a licensee, the Administrator may issue an order requiring the
licensee to cooperate with the request. In determining whether to issue such an
order, the Administrator shall consider all factors listed in subsection
(a)(2).
c) Any
information provided by the Board or a licensee to any sports governing body
under this Section is strictly confidential and shall not be used for any
purpose other than the purpose that was stated in the request for cooperation.
The information may not be disclosed to any third party other than for the
purposes of resolving an integrity-related investigation, to law enforcement
entities, or pursuant to a lawful court order, unless approved by the
Administrator.
d) A sports
governing body shall notify the Administrator and cooperating licensee in
writing upon receipt of any court order requiring disclosure of information
obtained under this Section.
