U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 3005. Liability and damages
Any person accepting any interstate off-track wager in violation
of this chapter shall be civilly liable for damages to the host
State, the host racing association and the horsemen's group.
Damages for each violation shall be based on the total of off-track
wagers as follows:
(1) If the interstate off-track wager was of a type accepted at
the host racing association, damages shall be in an amount equal
to that portion of the takeout which would have been distributed
to the host State, host racing association and the horsemen's
group, as if each such interstate off-track wager had been placed
at the host racing association.
(2) If such interstate off-track wager was of a type not
accepted at the host racing association, the amount of damages
shall be determined at the rate of takeout prevailing at the
off-track betting system for that type of wager and shall be
distributed according to the same formulas as in paragraph (1)
above.
