Every individual that participates in the pari-mutuel industry is required to obtain an occupational license.  This process includes being fingerprinted and having a background check performed on the individual. 

Applicants for an occupational license may apply on-line and pay with a major credit card or electronic check.  In addition, the on-line licensing system allows an applicant to print a completed application to mail or bring in person to a Division of Gaming office and pay by cash, check or money order.
