Ky. Rev. Stat. § 230.808

Current through 2024 Ky. Acts ch.225
Section 230.808 - Sporting events that may be wagered upon - Restrictions - Procedure for sports governing body to request exclusion
(1) Sporting events that may be wagered upon include but are not limited to:
(a) Professional sporting events;
(b) College sporting events sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, or other collegiate athletic body recognized by the corporation;
(c) Amateur sporting events;
(d) International sporting events, including but not limited to the Olympics and World Cup Soccer;
(e) Electronic sports, e-sports, and competitive video game events; and
(f) Any other event authorized by the corporation.
(2)
(a) A sports governing body may submit a request to the corporation to restrict, limit, or exclude a certain type, form, or category of sports wagering with respect to covered sporting events of that body, if the sport's governing body believes that this type, form, or category of sports wagering with respect to covered sporting events of that body may undermine the integrity or perceived integrity of that body or covered sporting events of that body. The sport's governing body shall provide the corporation with notice of this request in the form and manner required by the corporation.
(b) The corporation shall request comment from tracks and service providers on all requests made under paragraph (a) of this subsection. After giving due consideration to all comments received, the corporation shall grant the request if the requesting body demonstrates good cause that this type, form, or category of sports wagering is likely to undermine the integrity or perceived integrity of the sport's governing body or covered sporting events of that body.
(c) The corporation shall respond to a request concerning a particular event before the start of the event, or if it is not feasible to respond before the start of the event, no later than seven (7) days after the request is made. If the corporation determines that the requester is more likely than not to prevail in successfully demonstrating good cause for its request, the corporation may provisionally grant the request of the sport's governing body until the corporation makes a final determination as to whether the requester has demonstrated good cause. Absent this provisional grant by the corporation, tracks and service providers may continue to offer sports wagering on covered sporting events that are the subject of the request during the pendency of the corporation's consideration of the applicable request.
