Can I collect credit card information from participants in Montana? What are the requirements?

Based on the information available in the context documents, it is unclear whether you can collect credit card information from participants in Montana. However, there are several requirements related to card games, card room contractor’s license, and consumer reports that may be relevant to your query.

Requirements for conducting card games

According to MTCO 23-5-309, a live card game must be played on a live card game table for which a permit has been issued and on the premises of a licensed operator. Additionally, a live card game of panguingue or poker must be played in the presence and under the control of a licensed dealer, except as provided in 23-5-318.

Card room contractor’s license

MTCO 23-5-324 states that it is a misdemeanor for a person to enter into a contract with a licensed operator to operate one or more live card game tables on the operator’s premises without obtaining a card room contractor’s license from the department. The department charges an annual license fee of $150 for issuing or renewing a card room contractor’s license. The applicant shall submit at the time of application for a card room contractor’s license a copy of a proposed lease agreement with a licensed operator.

Requirements on users of consumer reports

MTCO 31-3-131 requires that whenever credit or insurance for personal, family, or household purposes or employment involving a consumer is denied or the charge for the credit or insurance is increased either wholly or partly because of information contained in a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency, the user of the consumer report shall advise the consumer against whom the adverse action has been taken and supply the name and address of the consumer reporting agency making the report.
