Alternatively, we recommend  
amending the Affiliate Marketer  
definition to expressly exempt  
sports governing bodies, in light of  
the fact that the Michigan  
Legislature specifically considered  
the leagues' role in the sports  
betting market in designing the  
requirements relating to official  
league data.

Definition of “Prohibited person”:  
The highlighted sections should not  
be in the definition of prohibited  
person. A prohibited person is not  
allowed to set up an account. These  
individuals are allowed to set up an  
account they just cannot place  
wagers on certain events. We would  
suggest that these sections be put  
in a separate rule on conduct that is  
prohibited, similar to how it is done  
in the Gaming Act Rules.
