Interactive Gaming > Interactive Gaming Advertisements, Promotions and Tournaments
Short Summary
The provided legal document content covers three main areas related to interactive gaming: record retention and reporting requirements for bonus and promotional wagering offers, advertising practices of interactive gaming certificate holders and operators, and regulations related to interactive gaming advertisements, promotions, and tournaments. The document mandates that interactive gaming operators must maintain a record of all bonus and promotional wagering offers in an electronic file that is readily available to the Gaming Control Board. The offers must be stated clearly and be easily accessible to registered players. The gaming system must also record all promotional offers and provide a Promotional Account Summary Report upon request. In terms of advertising practices, interactive gaming advertisements exclusively directed to residents of Pennsylvania must be co-branded, prominently displaying the name or logo of both the interactive gaming certificate holder and operator. Indecent or offensive graphics or audio, as well as content contradicting game rules or terms and conditions, are prohibited. Advertising should not target players who have been excluded from play. The document also allows the use of celebrity or other players for advertising or publicity purposes, subject to certain conditions. These conditions include identifying the celebrity player to other players, not realizing a profit beyond the rake, and including the celebrity player’s winnings in the certificate holder’s or operator’s gross gaming revenue if the funds are not retained by the celebrity player. Funding the celebrity player’s interactive gaming account and paying them a one-time or flat fee for their services are also permitted. The regulations related to interactive gaming advertisements, promotions, and tournaments define the terms ‘celebrity player’ and ‘promotion.’ The chapter introduces the concept of ‘restricted interactive gaming credit,’ which refers to gaming funds that cannot be cashed out until certain wagering requirements or restrictions are met. The document does not specify any penalties for non-compliance or violation of its provisions.
