Can I offer contests that involve a single game or event in Nevada? What are the requirements?

Offering Contests Involving Single Game or Event in Nevada

Based on the additional context provided, it appears that offering contests involving a single game or event in Nevada may require registration with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) ^[1.2].

Registration Requirements

According to NVRS 463.169, a person shall not receive any consideration, direct or indirect, for conducting a tournament or contest on behalf of or in conjunction with a gaming licensee, which involves a sporting event upon which wagers may be accepted or racing held at a track which uses the pari-mutuel system of wagering or gaming, in which persons pay a fee for the privilege of participating, and in which prizes are awarded to winners, unless the person has registered with the Board in the manner prescribed by the Board and supplied such information as the Commission requires ^[1.2].

Additionally, any person who conducts a tournament or contest on behalf of or in conjunction with a gaming licensee may be required by the Commission to be licensed by it as well as registered with the Board. Any person so required must apply for a license within 30 days after the decision of the Commission requiring the person to obtain the license ^[1.2].

Conclusion

Based on the above information, it appears that offering contests involving a single game or event in Nevada may require registration with the NGCB. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to determine the specific requirements for operating such contests in Nevada ^[1.2].
