(2) The fixed odds wagering licensee may authorize a withdrawal from a fixed odds wagering account when the fixed odds wagering account holder submits to the fixed odds wagering licensee, the fixed odds wagering licensee's agent, or such other entity as may be approved by the division, his or her fixed odds wagering account number and proper means of identification pursuant to procedures approved by the division.
