(a) All wagers on sporting events authorized under this subtitle shall be initiated, received, and otherwise made within the State unless otherwise determined by the Commission in accordance with applicable federal and State laws. (b) Consistent with the intent of the United States Congress as articulated in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, the intermediate routing of electronic data relating to a lawful intrastate wager authorized under this subtitle may not determine the location in which the wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subtitle, a wager on a sporting event may be accepted or pooled with a wager from an individual who is not physically present in the State if the Commission determines that accepting or pooling the wager is not inconsistent with federal law or the law of the jurisdiction, including any foreign nation, in which the individual is located, or that such wagering is conducted in accordance with a reciprocal agreement to which the State is a party that is not inconsistent with federal law.
