Short Summary
The provided legal document outlines the requirements for the Problem Gambling Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (SEP) established by the Oklahoma Lottery Commission (OLC). The program is designed for individuals who classify themselves as problem gamblers and wish to exclude themselves from participating in the OLC and its activities. The agreement for the SEP must include a clear statement of voluntary participation and its validity for the lifetime of the person or until canceled by the OLC Board of Trustees. It emphasizes that it is the responsibility of the person entering into the agreement to refrain from purchasing lottery products or entering lottery drawings, and that it is not the responsibility of the State, OLC, lottery employees, or retailers to prevent such purchases or entries. The agreement also requires the person to inform the OLC if they receive any marketing information through email, so their contact information can be removed from marketing lists. By entering into the agreement, the person releases the aforementioned entities from any liability related to the agreement. The agreement applies to lottery prizes valued over $600. If a person who has executed the agreement attempts to claim a prize, it will be forfeited and placed into the Unclaimed Prize Fund, or handled according to the rules of a multi-state jackpot game. The agreement must include appropriate identification information of the person, such as full name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birthdate, government-issued ID numbers, and physical description. On approval of the SEP, the Lottery Commission shall publish information related to the SEP on the Lottery Commission website, make SEP information available to appropriate responsible gambling and problem gambling treatment entities, include appropriate links to responsible gambling and problem gambling treatment entities on the Lottery Commission website, and maintain a confidential list of persons who have entered into an Agreement. The Executive Director will develop a legal document with the assistance of the Office of the Attorney General, which will serve as the legal, binding agreement between the person wishing to exclude themselves and the OLC. The SEP Agreement shall be presented to and approved by the Board of Trustees, and any amendments thereto shall be presented to the Board of Trustees for approval. These legal documents also pertain to the revocation of online games, as well as the validation of lottery tickets and the determination of lottery prize winners and their eligibility. The documents specify the criteria that lottery tickets must meet, including not being stolen, counterfeit, mutilated, or unreadable. They also outline the requirements for ticket sales, reimbursement for defective tickets, and the responsibilities of the Oklahoma Lottery Commission. Overall, these documents ensure compliance with the Oklahoma Lottery Commission’s requirements and provide clarity on the validation and determination of lottery prize winners in Oklahoma.
