(b) An internet or mobile gaming operator shall identify any patron who has created an Internet or mobile gaming account and has subsequently become a prohibited person, as defined at N.J.A.C. 13:69G-3.1. The internet or mobile gaming operator shall take action in accordance with the requirements at N.J.A.C. 13:69G with regard to such patrons.

(c) Internet and mobile gaming operators shall compare the data contained in the Division's database of prohibited persons, with data verified during the KYC process. Operators shall review the following patron information and the patron shall be deemed a prohibited person if:

1. The patron's full Social Security number matches with the Social Security number recorded by the Division's list of prohibited persons;

2. For patrons where the Division's list of prohibited patrons does not have a complete Social Security number, a match of both the last four digits of the patron's Social Security number and the patron's date of birth with the last four digits of the patron's Social Security number and date of birth recorded on the Division's list of prohibited persons; or

3. For patrons where the Division's list of prohibited patrons has a null value recorded for the patron's Social Security number, a match of both the patron's last name and date of birth, with the last name and date of birth recorded by the Division's list of prohibited persons. In addition, the Internet or mobile gaming operator shall:

i. Implement procedures to reasonably detect instances where the patron's date of birth matches, but the spelling of the patron's last name is not an exact match with the last name recorded by the Division's list of prohibited person; and

ii. Take action to investigate such instances and, if appropriate, prohibit the person from internet or mobile gaming.

(d) An internet or mobile gaming operator may implement procedures to identify patrons incorrectly identified as prohibited persons resulting from (c)2 or 3 above. In those cases, the Internet or mobile gaming operator may permit these patrons to participate in internet or mobile gaming provided that the Internet or mobile gaming operator documents in the electronic patron file required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:69O-1.3(b), the following:

1. The patron was initially identified as a prohibited person through the comparisons at (c) above;
