Commission employees and family members residing in their households are prohibited from purchasing Lottery tickets
or claiming Lottery prizes. Commission employees are prohibited from wagering upon any interactive fantasy sports, horse racing, commercial gaming, Indian gaming and charitable gaming activities within the State. The prohibition against any wagering upon any horse racing, Indian gaming and charitable gaming activities within the State, however, does not apply to family members of Commission employees.

To avoid any appearance of impropriety of conflict of interest, Commission employees will be prohibited from all aspects of promoting, operating, and playing in any charitable gaming, which includes bingo and games of chance such as raffles, whether or not the organization conducting the game is required to be licensed by the Commission. The prohibition placed upon each Commission employee from assisting with any charitable gaming does not apply to the employee's family unless the employee thinks it presents a conflict of interest related to his or her job duties. Commission employees must also avoid any outside activities that could interfere or be perceived to interfere with their job duties.
