Section 325.60  Organization Licensee Simulcast Signals and Commission Fees

a)         All advance deposit wagering licensees shall televise or broadcast or display via the internet the simulcast signal of the live racing of all organization licensees and accept wagers on the live racing of all organization licensees.

b)         Advance deposit wagering licensees shall not be permitted to accept out-of-state wagers on any organization licensee's live racing signal without the approval and consent of the organization licensee providing the signal.

c)         The Board finds that, as a means to maximize and support the highest simulcast commission rates charged to out-of-state entities by all organization licensees and therefore maximize revenues to horsemen's purse accounts and organization licensees, and to establish commission and purse splits consistent with existing wagering facility revenue divisions, all organization licensees shall provide their live racing simulcast signal to all advance deposit wagering licensees for a simulcast commission fee not to exceed 8%.

d)         An advance deposit wagering licensee's interstate commission fee shall not exceed 9% except for Grade 1 thoroughbred races and harness races with purses of $200,000 or more.
