Section 1900.755  Sports Facility Designees

A master sports wagering license under Section 25-40 of the Act may be applied for and be issued in the name of a designee of a sports facility.  When a master sports wagering license is applied for or issued in the name of a designee, the provisions of this Section apply.

a)                  Any rights a designee has to apply for or hold a master sports wagering license under Section 25-40 of the Act are exclusively based on a contract with the qualifying sports facility.

b)                  The owners of the respective sports facility shall be key persons of a designee for the purposes of any master sports wagering license issued under Section 25-40 of the Act.

c)                  A sports facility shall notify the Board of any termination of a designee relationship.  Upon the effective date of the termination, the master sports wagering license shall immediately expire.

d)         If a master sports wagering license in the name of a designee under Section 25-40 of the Act is denied, revoked, not renewed, or expires, the sports facility shall have a 180-day period during which its owners or a newly named  designee may apply for a master sports wagering license.  If the 180-day period expires without a new application, or if the sports facility notifies the Board of its intent not to pursue a new license, the Administrator may begin a new application process under Section 25-40(c) of the Act.

e)         When there is no designee, a master sports wagering license issued pursuant to Section 25-40 of the Act shall be issued in the name of the owner of the facility.
