Minimum Age: Commission Interns must be at least 21 years of age due to the statutory age-restrictions for games that fall under the Commission's regulatory jurisdiction.

Prohibition Against Playing & Wagering:
* Commission employees and family members residing in their households are prohibited from purchasing Lottery tickets or claiming Lottery prizes.
* Commission employees are prohibited from wagering upon any horse racing, commercial gaming, video lottery gaming, Indian gaming, charitable gaming activities, interactive fantasy sports, and mobile sports wagering within the State.
* The prohibition against any wagering upon any horse racing, Indian gaming and charitable gaming activities within the State, however, does not apply to family members of Commission employees.
* To avoid any appearance of impropriety of conflict of interest, Commission employees are prohibited from all aspects of promoting, operating, and playing in any charitable gaming, which includes bingo and games of chance such as raffles, whether or not the organization conducting the game is required to be licensed by the Commission.
* The prohibition placed upon each Commission employee from assisting with any charitable gaming does not apply to the employee's family unless the employee believes it presents a conflict of interest related to his or her job duties.
* Commission employees must also avoid any outside activities that could interfere or be perceived to interfere with their job duties.

Prior Employment Restrictions: New York State Law (PML Section 107) prohibits any person from being employed by the Commission if, during the period commencing three years prior to employment, such person held any interest in, or employment by, any corporation, association or person engaged in gaming activity with the State. However, New York State Law enables the Commission to waive for "good cause" the pre-employment restrictions for a prospective employee whose duties and responsibilities are primarily on racetrack grounds via a resolution that outlines the reasons for the waiver and that there are no other qualified candidates with the desired experience for the specific position.

Post-Internship Employment Restrictions: Interns are subject to the statutory two-year post-employment prohibition of working for a licensed/regulated entity.
