The registry operator shall make every effort to have the registry accessible to licensees 24 hours a day on each calendar day of the year. If a licensee cannot access the registry for a 24-hour period for any reason, the licensee shall notify the Department of Revenue through the licensee's relevant licensing authority that the licensee has been unable to access the registry for 24 hours.
Any period of inaccessibility that occurs through no fault of the licensee shall be considered an acceptable period of inaccessibility for that licensee. Any denial of access to the registry because the licensee has either failed to pay the annual fee required to access the registry or has failed to maintain internet service, shall not constitute an acceptable period of inaccessibility under these rules.
During any acceptable period of inaccessibility of the registry to a licensee, the licensee may handle its payments to cash prize payment winners without recourse to the provisions of the Gambling Payment Intercept Act, except that the licensee must maintain a listing of cash prize payment winners during the inaccessibility period and maintain documentation explaining why the licensee was not accountable for the period of inaccessibility.
