§ 603b.1. Direct Bet Coupons—statement of policy.

 (a)  On January 24, 2024, the board adopted proposed regulations in proposed rulemaking # 125-247 to authorize Direct Bet Coupons as an additional form of promotional gaming product. Direct Bet Coupons are being authorized as a variation of Match Play Coupons which are authorized under § §  603a.20 and 603a.21 (relating to Match Play Coupons; physical characteristics and issuance; and Match Play Coupon use). Direct Bet Coupons do not require the patron to ante up money to place a wager.

 (b)  Direct Bet Coupons or similar products are presently authorized in competing jurisdictions. To ensure this Commonwealth’s gaming industry remains competitive, the board intends to expedite Direct Bet Coupons in this Commonwealth.

 (c)  Beginning on the date of publication of this statement of policy, all licensees may begin the process to develop and implement Direct Bet Coupon promotional programs consistent with the proposed regulations in proposed rulemaking # 125-247.

 (d)  Upon the adoption and publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin of the final-form regulations governing Direct Bet Coupons, this statement of policy shall become void in favor of the final-form regulations and shall be subsequently rescinded.
