Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 177 - OREGON STATE LOTTERY › Division 46 - LOTTERY GAMES GENERAL OPERATING RULES › Section 177-046-0027 - Funding the Player Account

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1)
			 General: The Lottery does not hold or manage money on behalf of players.
			 Therefore, to play Lottery games and claim prizes digitally, the player must
			 establish a digital player account as described in OAR 177-046-0022. This
			 includes agreeing to and complying with any terms of use presented to a player
			 by the entity holding the player account. The player account will then be used,
			 as described in the terms of use, to provide digital credits to the player
			 account that may be used by the player to purchase tickets or shares and
			 receive prizes.
(2) Fees. The
			 entity holding the player account does not charge for deposits or withdrawals
			 in or out of the player account. Neither the Lottery, nor the entity holding
			 the player account, are responsible for any fees that may be charged to the
			 player by a payment processor, or financial institution, pursuant to an
			 agreement with the player.
(3) If a
			 deposit is charged back for any reason, the amount of the original deposit will
			 be deducted from the player account and any prizes paid from winning tickets or
			 shares that were purchased using the original deposit that was charged back
			 will be forfeited and deducted from the player account.
(4) Player Credits. A player may only
			 purchase tickets or shares up to the player balance; under no circumstances
			 will the Lottery or its vendor extend credit to a player. A player is not
			 entitled to funds incorrectly allocated to the player account. The entity
			 holding the player account is entitled to reverse such credits from the player
			 account and recover any funds that may have been withdrawn related to any over
			 crediting of the player account.
(5) Bonuses: The Lottery may, from time to
			 time, offer bonuses or similar promotional incentives. Bonuses appear as
			 digital credits in the player account and may be used to play Lottery games
			 subject to limitations, but bonuses have no cash value and are not available to
			 withdraw.
(6) Prizes: For Lottery
			 games played digitally, prizes are claimed, validated, and paid digitally
			 through the player account according to the rules for the particular game and
			 OAR 177-046-0110.
(7) Withdrawals:
(a) Once a player's prize is deposited in the
			 player account, the Lottery considers the prize claimed by the player. A player
			 may withdraw from their player account at any time up to the funds balance,
			 subject to any limitations in the terms and conditions or terms of use of the
			 entity holding the player account or other payment processors used by the
			 player.
(b) The player is
			 responsible for providing accurate and updated information to Lottery and its
			 service providers and for providing accurate information when requesting to
			 withdraw. The Lottery is not responsible for delays or losses caused by
			 incorrect payment method information provided by the player. Once a withdrawal
			 is approved, the Lottery is not responsible for any third-party financial
			 clearing processes that may delay or prevent the player's receipt of any
			 withdrawn funds.
