(b) A courier service system shall be designed with a methodology approved by the Division to ensure there shall be no communications directly between a lottery terminal and the website or mobile courier service.

5. Prevent the removal of the courier customer account from the courier service system; and

6. Prominently display to the courier customer that the courier customer account is in a suspended mode, the restrictions placed on the account, and any further action that the courier customer may take to remove the suspended mode.

(i) A courier service shall notify the courier customer account holder via electronic mail, regular mail, or other method approved by the Division, whenever his or her account has been closed or placed in a suspended mode. Such notification shall include the restrictions placed on the account and any further course of action needed to remove the restriction.

(j) A suspended account may be restored:

1. Upon expiration of the time period established by the courier customer;

2. When permission is granted by the Division; or

3. When the courier service has lifted the suspended status. A courier service may lift the suspended status only when the suspended status is initially imposed by the courier service. See (g)3 above.

(k) The courier website and mobile application system shall be capable of allowing a courier customer to establish the following responsible gaming limits. Any decrease to these limits shall be effective no later than the courier customer's next login. Any increase to these limits shall become effective only after the time period of the previous limit has expired and the courier customer reaffirms the requested increase.

1. A deposit limit shall be offered on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and shall specify the maximum amount of money a courier customer may deposit into his or her courier customer account during a particular period of time. Once a courier customer sets his or her daily deposit limit that amount is locked for seven days at that dollar amount.

2. A spend limit shall be offered on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and shall specify the maximum amount of money a courier customer may spend from the courier customer's account during a particular period of time.
