(a)
Location of courier customers within the State.
A network shall employ a method of restricting requests
						for courier services to only those made by courier customers physically located
						in the State of New York at the time of purchase of courier services. A
						purchase of courier services within the meaning of this subdivision occurs when
						the customer requests delivery of a particular lottery ticket or tickets from
						the courier service and when the customer initiates the transfer of funds to
						the courier service in connection with such ticket or tickets, both of which
						must occur while the courier customer is physically located in the State of New
						York. A courier service may not accept a delivery request from a customer
						physically located outside of the State at the time of the request. A courier
						service may not accept the transfer of funds from, by or on behalf of a courier
						customer who is physically located outside of the State at the time such
						customer initiates the transfer.
(b)
Prohibited sales areas.
A network shall employ a method of restricting requests
						for courier services made from any area within the State of New York that the
						commission designates as a prohibited sales area.
(c)
Geolocation.
A network shall employ a method of providing a courier
						customer with the location of the nearest lottery sales agents using GPS
						technology. In the event a courier customer attempts to request courier
						services through the network of a courier service in the period between the
						halt of requests via the network but prior to the drawing cutoff, such method
						shall be capable of directing the courier customer to the nearest lottery sales
						agent.
(d)
Courier
					 service location.
A courier service shall receive and process in a location
						in New York requests from courier customers for courier services. Ticket
						processing shall occur in New York.
(e)
Play slips.
A courier service may employ a method or means to print
						play slips or facsimiles thereof, only after approval by the commission
						pursuant to these regulations. No such approval shall be granted by the
						commission unless such method or means has been tested, at the licensee's
						expense, and verified by an independent third-party testing facility to the
						satisfaction of the commission that such play slips perform at least as
						accurately as the commission's official play slips.
(f)

					 customer.

					 the following:
