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.

The prohibition placed upon each Commission employee from assisting with any charitable gaming does not apply to the employee's family unless the employee thinks 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.
