If there is a discrepancy between the application submitted and the information provided by the verification described above or if no information on the applicant is available from such verification process, another individual reference service may be accessed or another technology meeting the requirements described above may be used to verify the information provided. If the applicant's information cannot be verified, the authorized advance deposit wagering service provider shall not establish an account.

(2) Each account shall have a unique identifying account number. The identifying account number may be changed at any time by the advance deposit wagering service provider provided the account holder is given notice in writing prior to the change.

(6) The account is nontransferable between natural persons.

(7) The authorized advance deposit wagering service provider may close or refuse to open an account for what it deems good and sufficient reason, and shall order an account closed if it is determined that information that was used to open an account was false, or that the account has been used in violation of these rules.

(8) Any disputes between an account holder and an authorized advance deposit wagering service provider shall follow the dispute resolution procedures contained in the authorized advance deposit wagering service provider's plan of operations as approved by the commission.
