Integrity; reporting prohibited or suspicious conduct; investigations
Short Summary
This legal document, part of the Arizona Revised Statutes, governs the reporting of prohibited or suspicious conduct and the conduct of investigations in the context of event wagering. It applies to all licensees under this chapter. The document requires licensees to immediately report to the department and the relevant sports governing body any information related to abnormal betting activity, potential breaches of internal rules and codes of conduct, conduct that corrupts the betting outcome, and suspicious or illegal event wagering activities. Licensees are also required to report information regarding bettors, bets, outcomes, and records. If a sports governing body requests real-time information sharing, licensees must share the same information with the body. The department and licensees are expected to cooperate with investigations conducted by sports governing bodies. The department is required to establish a hotline or other method of communication for confidential reporting of prohibited conduct. The department is responsible for investigating allegations and referring prohibited conduct to prosecutorial entities. The identity of reporting persons remains confidential unless authorized for disclosure or until the allegation is referred to a prosecutorial entity. If the department receives a complaint of prohibited conduct by an athlete, it must notify the appropriate sports governing body. The department may provide or facilitate access to account-level betting information and data files to a sports governing body during an official investigation, with confidentiality provisions in place unless made public through a criminal proceeding or court order.
