The licensee's or sports wagering services provider's rake collected from patrons that enter a tournament, contest, or pool while located in the state of South Dakota less any rake adjustment, if applicable, is subject to the wagering taxes pursuant to SDCL 42-7B-28, 42-7B-28.1 and 42-7B-28.2 as are paid on sports wagering net receipts, with the following additional requirements:

(1) At no time may the calculation resulting from a rake or rake adjustment be negative; and

(2) For a tournament, contest, or pool that utilizes shared liquidity available to patrons in South Dakota and other jurisdictions, the rake rate must be the same for all jurisdictions participating.
