(b) Each application submitted will be subject to electronic verification with respect to name, principal residence address and date of birth by either a national, independent, individual reference service company or another technology which meets or exceeds the reliability, security, accuracy, privacy and timeliness provided by individual reference service companies. An account wagering center may require the applicant’s social security number to complete the verification process and for tax reporting purposes. If there is a discrepancy between the application submitted and the information provided by the electronic verification described above or if no information on the applicant is available from such electronic verification, another individual reference service may be accessed or another technology meeting the requirements described above may be used to verify the information provided.

The account holder has the right to change this code at any time. (4) The account wagering center may not establish an account for any person whose principal residence address is not within the State of Oregon. The principal residence address shall be established by reliance on the information submitted on the application form provided and certified by the applicant.
