In reference to account confiscation cases:
<o> </o>
In any case where a player has money removed, forfeited or otherwise had funds subtracted from his account, the sportsbook must show proof as to their justification for the confiscation. –this paragraph has been widely adopted in the aftermath of the 2002 case against SportsInteraction-
<o> </o>
If the sportsbook confiscates funds citing proof of impropriety:<o></o>
The sportsbook must make their facility reasonably available for the purpose of verification including software, hardware, reporting system, in-house IT, original tape recordings, clerks, ect., to the watchdog community for verification. (at the expense of the watchdogs)
<o> </o>
If a sportsbook fails to allow the watchdog community to verify and authenticate the evidence which they are using to confiscate a player’s money, then any claim of valid evidence against the player should be ignored and the confiscation reconsidered on the known, verified merits.
<o> </o>
The latter paragraph we very much need to form a strong consensus. This is needed to protect both the players and the sportsbooks.<o></o>
