Section 13:69D-1.37 - Account based wagering system procedures

(a) A casino licensee may operate an electronic account based wagering system which permits a patron to upload and download efunds.

1. A casino licensee may have a complimentary efund program, which shall have internal controls that include:

i. Audit programs that, at a minimum, shall only permit data to be adjusted by authorized casino personnel;

ii. Procedures for handling customer disputes; and

iii. If applicable, the manner in which a patron access control is obtained from a New Jersey or out-of-State affiliate of the casino.

2. A casino licensee may issue efunds that are cashable or non-cashable, whether as a complimentary, in exchange for a gift card, or otherwise purchased by a patron in accordance with internal controls. If a slot machine has both cashable and non-cashable efunds available for play, all non-cashable efunds shall automatically be wagered before any cashable efunds are wagered.

(b) All aspects of an account based wagering system, including all hardware and software utilized therein, shall be subject to testing and approval by the Division.

(c) The internal audit department shall be responsible for testing a designated sample of electronic gaming devices prior to implementation and on an annual basis thereafter to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and suitability of the system.

(d) A casino accounting department employee shall review the reports required by 13:69E-1.37A and report the daily revenue amounts in accordance with the rules of the Division.

(e) Upon the request of a patron, each casino licensee using an electronic account based wagering system shall make available a monthly statement to each patron which shall include balance and any activity on the account during the statement period.

(f) Any slot machine or table game that utilizes non-cashable efunds, as well as all written promotional materials and application forms relating to such efunds shall disclose all restrictions upon the use of non-cashable efunds. Such disclosure shall, at a minimum, provide notice that a non-cashable efund transfer:

1. Cannot be converted into cash by a patron; and

2. Is automatically wagered before any cashable efunds are wagered.
