Can I offer contests that involve a single game or event in Utah? What are the requirements?
Offering Contests in Utah
Based on the information provided in the context documents, it is prohibited to engage in or permit a contest, game, gaming scheme, or gaming device that requires the risking of something of value for a return or for an outcome when the return or outcome is based upon an element of chance, excluding the playing of an amusement device that confers only an immediate and unrecorded right of replay not exchangeable for value [3.1]. Therefore, offering contests that involve a single game or event in Utah is not allowed.
However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. For example, fishing contests require a COR from the Division of Wildlife Resources [2.1][2.2]. Additionally, single event permits are available for events that involve the sale, offer for sale, or furnishing of an alcoholic product [1.3][3.2].
Therefore, if you are interested in offering a contest that involves a single game or event in Utah, you should consult with the relevant authorities to determine if any exceptions apply and what the requirements are.
Conclusion
Based on the information provided, offering contests that involve a single game or event in Utah is generally not allowed. However, there are certain exceptions for fishing contests and events that involve the sale, offer for sale, or furnishing of an alcoholic product.
