Section 6.06 - Claims for Payment from Pari-mutuel Pool
(1) At a designated location, a written, verified claim for payment from a pari-mutuel pool shall be accepted by the association in any case where the association has withheld payment or has refused to cash a pari-mutuel wager. The claim shall be made on such form as approved by the Commission, and the claimant shall make such claim under penalty of perjury. The original of such claim shall be forwarded to the Commission within 48 hours. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. § F)
(2) In the case of a claim made for payment of a mutilated pari-mutuel ticket which does not contain the total imprinted elements required in 205 CMR 6.03(2), the association shall make a recommendation to accompany the claim forwarded to the Commission as to whether or not the mutilated ticket has sufficient elements to be positively identified as a winning ticket. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. § F(1))
(3) In the case of a claim made for payment on a pari-mutuel wager, the Commission shall adjudicate the claim and may order payment thereon from the pari-mutuel pool or by the association, or may deny the claim, or may make such other order as it may deem proper. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. § F(2))
(4) In the case of a claim made for a lost pari-mutuel ticket, the association shall accept the claim on a form approved by the Commission, and the claimant shall make such claim under the penalties of perjury. The claimant must identify the amount wagered, approximate time of wager, race, other tickets purchased during the same transaction, association, exact wagers made on the lost ticket to include all runners, and the window number. The association shall investigate the claim and using association official records, provide the Commission a recommendation and copies of all applicable documents to support such recommendation. The Commission will rule on the validity of all claims and hold final decisions until the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the loss occurred. The Commission will issue a final decision and notify the claimant and the association of the disposition of the claim. Claims for lost tickets must be filed with the appropriate association within 48 hours of running of the race associated with the lost ticket.
