To obtain an initial registration, a fantasy contest operator must become authorized to transact business in this state, apply to DFI and submit evidence that the fantasy contest operator complies or will comply with requirements specified in the bill, and pay the initial registration fee. The fantasy contest operator must renew this registration annually.
