WEST VIRGINIA LOTTERY SPORTS WAGERING ACT. > License prohibitions.
Short Summary
This provision outlines the license prohibitions under the West Virginia Lottery Sports Wagering Act. The commission is prohibited from granting a license if the applicant has made a false statement, has a suspended or revoked gambling license, has been convicted of a gambling-related offense or theft/fraud offense, or has been employed by an illegal or offshore book that serviced the United States. The commission may also deny a license if the applicant or licensee lacks financial responsibility, is not the true owner of the business, or sells a licensee’s assets without commission approval. However, the Lottery Commission cannot disqualify an applicant from initial licensure solely based on a prior criminal conviction, unless it bears a rational nexus to the activity requiring licensure. The commission may permit an applicant with a criminal record to apply for licensure if a certain period has elapsed, no other crimes have been committed, and the conviction was not for a violent or sexual offense. Additionally, an individual with a criminal record can petition the Lottery Commission for a determination of their eligibility for a license. For sports wagering licenses, the commission may deny, reprimand, suspend, or revoke a license for non-compliance with the requirements of this section or any other provision of the article.
