Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3775 - Ohio Casino Control Commission - Sports Gaming › Chapter 3775-11 - General Wagering Provisions › Section 3775-11-01 - Sporting events and wager types

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								A catalogue of
			 approved sporting events and wager types is to be maintained by the commission
			 and made readily available on the commission's website. Sports gaming
			 proprietors must not offer wagering on any sporting events or wager types not
			 listed in the approved catalogue.
(B)
								Sports gaming
			 proprietors may submit a request to the executive director to add a sporting
			 event or wager type to the approved catalogue. The request must be made at
			 least three business days before the first requested use of the proposed
			 additional sporting event or wager type. The executive director will prescribe
			 the format for any requests submitted.
(C)
								Any requested
			 additions or changes to the catalogue will be reviewed and approved or denied
			 by the executive director. If the proprietor has not received a response from
			 the executive director regarding the proposed changes within three business
			 days, the changes will be deemed approved.
(D)
								A sports
			 governing body may submit a request to the executive director to prohibit or
			 restrict wagering on any sporting event or wager type. All licensed sports
			 gaming proprietors must be copied on this request, in the manner prescribed by
			 the executive director. The executive director, in their sole discretion, will
			 determine whether the sports governing body has shown good cause to grant the
			 requested prohibition or restriction. Sports gaming proprietors may submit
			 comments to the executive director which must be considered in the
			 determination of good cause. Good cause will be measured by whether the
			 request, if adopted, will ensure the integrity of sports gaming or will be in
			 the best interests of the public. The executive director will prescribe the
			 manner, format, and time frame for any request or comment submitted under this
			 paragraph.
(1)
									If the executive director determines good cause has been
			 shown, the adopted prohibition or restriction will be either noted in the
			 commission's approved catalogue or the previously approved sporting event or
			 wager type will be removed from the catalogue, as applicable.
(2)
									If the executive
			 director determines good cause has not been shown, the requestor of the
			 prohibition or restriction will be provided with a notice stating the request
			 has been denied and providing the requestor with an opportunity for an appeal
			 hearing. This hearing will be heard by an attorney of the commission who will
			 issue a recommendation to the commission, through the executive director. The
			 hearing is open to the public, to the extent permitted by law, but no evidence
			 or testimony will be taken from any person other than the requestor. The
			 commission, at a meeting held under section
			 3772.02
			 of the Revised Code, will determine, based on the recommendation, whether the
			 request is to be adopted. If adopted, the prohibition or restriction will be
			 either noted in the commission's approved catalogue or the previously approved
			 sporting event or wager type will be removed from the catalogue, as applicable.
			 No right of appeal exists from this decision.
