A license may be suspended or revoked by the division for one or more of the following reasons:

a.

Failure to account for lottery tickets received or the proceeds of the sale of lottery tickets or to file a bond if required by the division or to comply with instructions of the division concerning the licensed activity;

Conviction of any offense as defined in the penal law, or any felony under the laws of the United States or under the laws of the state of New York or any other state or foreign jurisdiction or any crime relating to gaming activities;

c.

Failure to file any return or report, to keep records or to pay any tax required by any article of this chapter;

d.

Fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or conduct prejudicial to public confidence in the state lottery;

e.

With respect to a lottery sales agent, the number of lottery tickets sold by the lottery sales agent is insufficient to meet administrative costs and public convenience is adequately served by other licensees;

f.

A material change, since issuance of the license, with respect to any matters required to be considered by the division under subdivision d or e of § 1605 (Lottery sales agents and other licensees)section sixteen hundred five of this article.

g.
