Short Summary
This legal document governs the exclusion or ejection of certain persons from video lottery facilities, Internet lottery games, and sports lottery games in Delaware. The Director of the State Lottery is responsible for establishing a list of persons to be excluded or ejected from these facilities and games. The Director may place a person on the exclusion list if there is a reasonable basis to believe that their engagement in the games or presence in the facility is detrimental to the interests of the state or the operation of a video lottery agent’s facilities. The standards for exclusion include prior convictions of felonies, crimes involving moral turpitude, violations of gaming laws, failure to disclose an interest in a video lottery facility, wilful evasion of fees or taxes, notorious or unsavory reputation, or a written order of a governmental agency authorizing exclusion. The Director also has the authority to exclude persons from participating in sports lottery games based on factors such as prior convictions related to sports betting or anything that may denigrate or undermine the integrity or overall soundness of the lottery. The document outlines the process for placing persons on the exclusion list, serving notice to the excluded persons, and providing an opportunity for a hearing before the Lottery Commission.
