the holder of the wagering account. b. The account holder placing the account wager shall provide the licensee with the

correct personal identification number of the holder of the wagering account. c. A licensee may not accept an account wager, or series of wagers, in an amount in

shall directly or indirectly act as an intermediary, transmitter or agent in the placing

of wagers for a holder of a wagering account; provided, however, that the use of

credit or debit cards specifically approved by the licensee or the use of checks,

money orders or negotiable orders of withdrawal or the use of telephonic, computer

or electronic means by the account holder to place such wagers shall not be prohibited. e. The account holder may place a wager in person, by direct telephone call or by
