Ohio regulator publishes updated promotions and bonuses rule
The commission said that terms and conditions must be clear and not misleading.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission has submitted a new rule regarding promotions and bonuses.
The regulator said that it published the update “to expressly clarify the way sports gaming proprietors can offer promotions or bonuses in connection with or as a result of a non-gaming, consumer transaction.”
The amendment states that promotions must be unambiguous and clear. “Terms and conditions that are full, accurate, concise, transparent and do not contain misleading information,” the commission stated.
More specifically, these offers need to include dates and times they are active and expire, and must display rules of play, nature and value of awards or prizes, as well as what makes someone eligible.
Other information that must be disclosed involves wagering and redemption requirements, eligible events or wages and requirements to cancel.
The commission said in a statement, “This rule describes the manner and conditions under which sports gaming proprietors may offer promotions or bonuses.
“This includes ensuring that the promotions and bonuses, like advertisements, are clear and not misleading.”
