    Counterfeit Pull-tabs

    If the organization discovers that it has received a counterfeit paper pull-tab ticket or that it awarded a prize based on a counterfeit paper pull-tab, the gambling manager should follow these steps: 

    1. Review the prize receipt to see who signed it as the winner and which paper pull-tab seller signed and dated it. 
    2. Deliver the paper pull-tab ticket and prize receipt form to the local law enforcement agency and file a complaint against the alleged violator. Get a receipt from the law enforcement official. 
    3. Notify the Gambling Control Board of the counterfeit paper pull-tab ticket. Then, within 60 days, file a fund loss request with the Gambling Control Board using LG250 Fund Loss Request (Profit Carryover Adjustment). 
    4. Keep a copy of the paper pull-tab ticket, prize receipt, and complaint with the game records. 
    5. Report the counterfeit incident to the Department of Public Safety’s Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division at 651-201-7500.
