WAC 230-15-400   Accounting for player-supported jackpot funds.  Class F or house-banked licensees must:

     (1) Maintain a separate bank account in a bank, mutual savings bank, or credit union in Washington state for holding player-supported jackpot (PSJ) funds; and

     (2) Deposit only funds from PSJs into the account; and

     (3) Not make payouts from the PSJ funds until licensees have first deposited the funds in the PSJ account. However, licensees may pay out prizes won during the gambling day and deduct administrative expenses before licensees deposit the funds; and

     (4) Deposit the PSJ funds into the PSJ account or with an armored car service no later than the second banking day after the close of business; and

     (5) Identify all deposits of PSJ funds by the type of PSJ fund and date of collection. Licensees must keep the validated deposit receipts as a part of their required daily records; and

     (6) Transfer the amount from the PSJ account to the cage or general account before the end of the month if PSJ prizes are paid from the cage or general account. The licensee must keep the transfer information as part of the written records; and

     (7) Reconcile the account balance in their bank statement to the PSJ prize balance on their PSJ fund accrual record each month. "Reconcile" means the licensee must compare the two balances, resolve any differences, and document the comparison and the differences in writing. Licensees must keep the reconciliation as part of their records.
