## Full section analysis

The Commission on Gaming's adoption of ARSD 20:04 rules at its 23 June 2026 hearing creates a new distribution channel for South Dakota pari-mutuel wagers: online wagering through advance-deposit accounts routed via multi-jurisdictional totalizator hubs, governed by new provisions on hub licensing and patron protection, integrity and security assessment including an information-security management system requirement, and advance-deposit wagering account rules. This is the first evidenced move toward an online distribution platform for racing wagers in the jurisdiction, distinct from the Deadwood-premises-only distribution model that continues to govern sports wagering under Codified Law 42-7B-79. The hub rules remain pending confirmation: hearing minutes are marked unapproved and the effective date is not established on the record, so the online pari-mutuel distribution channel should be treated as adopted-at-hearing rather than confirmed live.
