Bill > S2351

This bill authorizes the state lottery commission to conduct lotteries online, over the internet, or through mobile applications, and outlines specific rules for these online operations, including age verification to prevent sales to individuals under eighteen, limiting sales to within the Commonwealth, ensuring privacy of personal and financial information, requiring in-person collection of winnings over $200 but less than $600 at a licensed agent, and in-person collection of winnings over $600 at the lottery commission office after verifying no outstanding child support or state debt, establishing purchase limits, prohibiting direct deposit for funding online accounts, ensuring players can withdraw winnings at any time, allowing the purchase of online game cards from existing agents, and limiting credit or debit card use to online transactions or at the lottery commission office. Additionally, the bill allows for multi-jurisdictional lottery games to be conducted online if authorized by all participating states or jurisdictions, and clarifies that gaming conducted under chapter 10, which this bill amends, is not excluded from certain regulations.
