A paper pull-tab seller may not provide any “insider” information to players that provides an unfair advantage related to the potential winnings from paper pulltabs. If there is a reason to believe that an organization or paper pull-tab seller has been or is providing insider information to players, the Gambling Control Board may require the organization to post major prizes and the names of major winners, and an organization may lose their gambling license or premises permit.
Paper pull-tab sellers may not help a player open paper pull-tab tickets.
Paper pull-tab sellers may not “hold” or “freeze” a paper pull-tab game for players.
A last sale prize may not be deducted from the buyout amount. All tickets must be paid for, then the last ticket may be presented to collect or redeem the last sale prize.
Pull-tab games are considered closed after the last ticket in the game has been sold or when the organization decides that no more tickets from the game will be sold. For sold-out games, and occasionally for games that are closed with unsold tickets remaining, players will still have winning tickets to redeem after the game has been closed, and your organization must be mindful of this obligation. If an organization has house rules regarding redeeming winning tickets, the house rules must be specific and enforceable.
