Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) Pari-mutuel
				tickets shall not be sold by anyone other than an organization licensed to
				conduct pari-mutuel wagering.
(b)
				No pari-mutuel ticket may be sold on a contest for which wagering has already
				been closed and no organization licensee shall be responsible for ticket sales
				entered into but not completed by issuance of a ticket before the totalisator
				is closed for wagering on such contest.
(c) Claims pertaining to a mistake on an
				issued ticket, or a mistake involving failure to issue a ticket, must be made
				by the bettor prior to leaving the seller's window. Cancellation or exchange of
				tickets issued shall not be permitted after a patron has left a seller's window
				except in accordance with written policies established by the organization
				licensee and approved by the Commission.
(d) Payment on winning pari-mutuel wagers
				shall be made on the basis of the order of finish as purposely posted and
				declared "official." Any subsequent change in the order of finish or award of
				purse money as may result from a subsequent ruling by the Stewards or
				Commission shall in no way affect the pari-mutuel payoff. If an error in the
				posted order of finish or payoff figures is discovered, the official order of
				finish or payoff prices may be corrected and an announcement concerning the
				change shall be made to the public.
(e) The organization licensee shall not
				satisfy claims on lost, mutilated, or altered pari-mutuel tickets without
				authorization of the Commission.
(f) The organization licensee shall have no
				obligation to enter a wager into a betting pool if unable to do so due to
				equipment failure.
(g) The
				organization licensee shall not accept mailed or telephoned wagers, except as
				provided by law and the rules of this Chapter, nor knowingly accept any wagers
				made by or for a person who is prohibited from participating in pari-mutuel
				wagering.
(h) No minor shall
				purchase or cash any pari-mutuel ticket. No employee of the organization shall
				knowingly sell to or cash for a minor any pari-mutuel ticket.
(i) No racing official or assistant racing
				official, mutuel department employee, general manager, valet, jockey room
				custodian, official camera operator, assistant starter, receiving or detention
				barn staff member, security personnel, track superintendent or track
				maintenance department employee, member or employee of the Commission shall
				wager on the result of a race. No employee of the organization shall knowingly
				sell to or cash any pari-mutuel ticket for any of the categories of license
				listed in this subsection.
(j) No
				jockey shall make any wager, or have any wager made in his/her behalf, in any
				race in which s/he participates, except through the owner or trainer and on the
				horse which s/he rides. Any owner or trainer wagering for such jockey shall
				maintain a record of all such wagers and all other presents or other gratuities
				s/he has given any jockey. Such records will be furnished to the Stewards or
				the Commission or its investigators upon demand.
