GLI Recommendations

11 VAC 5-80-140

1. A permit holder shall fully and accurately disclose the material terms of all promotional offers involving sports betting at the time any such offer is advertised and provide full disclosure of the terms of and limitations on the offer before the sports bettor provides anything of value in exchange for the offer. If the material terms of a promotional offer cannot be fully and accurately disclosed within the constraints of a particular advertising medium, such as on a billboard, the promotional offer may not be advertised in that medium.
2. No promotional offer available to a sports bettor who sets up a new user player account may contain terms that delay full implementation of the offer by the permit holder for a period of longer than 90 days, regardless of the number or amount of wagers in that period by the sports bettor.

GLI recommends changing “user” to “player”

11 VAC 5-80-90.7

3. Promotional or free games shall not mislead players
