A. Upon request and at a location designated by the division, each licensee and permittee shall provide the division with the records required to be maintained by this Chapter. Licensees and permittees shall retain all such records for a minimum of five years in a location approved by the division. In the event of a change of ownership, records of prior owners shall be retained in a location approved by the division for a period of five years unless a different period is authorized by the division. Electronic records may be maintained in other locations if access to the records is available on computers located at the principal place of business or other location approved by the division.
B. Each licensee or its operators shall conduct a complete system data backup to a primary off-site location a minimum of once a month. For purposes of this Section, the licensee or operator shall submit the name, location, and security controls of the primary off-site storage facility to the division. Licensees and operators shall submit changes to the location and security controls of the primary off-site storage facility at least 30 days prior to the change. Any changes less than 30 days in advance must include justification for the late submission. For licensees and operators using managed cloud service backups, the name of the cloud service and region where the primary copy of the data shall be provided at the time of licensure and at the time of any change thereafter. A complete system data backup includes, but is not limited to:
1. all revenue reports;
2. all sports wagers and results;
3. sports wagering account information; and
4. the geographical location of every player placing a sports wager on a sports wagering platform of the licensee or operator.
