All Sports Betting Operations shall review such reports and notify the Independent Integrity Monitoring Provider whether they have experienced similar activity.

(4) If an Independent Integrity Monitoring Provider finds that previously reported unusual betting activity rises to the level of suspicious betting activity, it shall immediately notify all other Independent Integrity Monitoring Providers, their member Sports Betting Operations, the Division, and all other regulatory agencies as directed by the Division. All Independent Integrity Monitoring Providers receiving a report under this section shall share such report with their member Sports Betting Operations.

(5) A Sports Betting Operation receiving a report of suspicious betting activity shall be permitted to suspend betting and related wagers on events related to the report, but may only cancel related wagers after receiving approval from the Director or the Director's designee.

8.2Confidential information.

(1) All information and data received pursuant to this Rule by the Commission related to unusual or suspicious betting activity or wagering data shall be considered confidential and shall not be revealed in whole or in part, except as required by law, by the Commission, or by lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or to any law enforcement entity, member club, sports governing body, Independent Integrity Monitor Provider, or regulatory agency that the Commission deems appropriate to protect the integrity of sport betting.
