No third party checks shall be permitted.

(2) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, checks cashed in conformity with the requirements of this section or 13 Pa.C.S. Div. 3 (relating to negotiable instruments) shall be valid instruments, enforceable at law in the courts of this Commonwealth. Any check cashed, transferred, conveyed, given or accepted in violation of this section shall be invalid and unenforceable for the purposes of collection by a certificate holder but shall be included in the calculation of gross table game revenue.

(b) Notice of fees.--All fees charged for the conversion of cash equivalents shall be disclosed.
