(1) Pari-mutuel tickets shall not be sold by anyone other than an association licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. D(1))

(2) No pari-mutuel ticket may be sold on a contest for which wagering has already been closed and no association shall be responsible for ticket sales entered into but not completed by issuance of a ticket before the totalisator is closed for wagering on such contest. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. D(2))

(3) Claims pertaining to a mistake on an issued or unissued ticket must be made by the bettor prior to leaving the seller's window. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. D(3))

(4) Payment on winning pari-mutuel wagers shall be made on the basis of the order of finish as purposely posted and declared "official". Any subsequent change in the order of finish or award of purse money as may result from a subsequent ruling by the stewards or Commission shall in no way affect the pari-mutuel payoff. If an error in the posted order of finish or payoff figures is discovered, the official order of finish or payoff prices may be corrected and an announcement concerning the change shall be made to the public. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. D(4))

(5) The association shall not satisfy claims on lost, mutilated, or altered pari-mutuel tickets without authorization of the Commission. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. § D(5))

(6) The association shall have no obligation to enter a wager into a betting pool if unable to do so due to equipment failure. (ARCI c. 9 g.p. § D(6))
