Can I offer contests that involve both skill and chance in Arkansas? What are the requirements?

Based on the information available in the Arkansas Code, contests that involve both skill and chance are not specifically regulated. However, if the contest involves wagering, it may fall under the purview of the Arkansas Racing Commission and the regulations outlined in Arkansas Code Section 23-113-201.

Additionally, Arkansas Code Section 23-115-408 prohibits the use of video lotteries for any purposes by any institution or facility governed by the Arkansas Horse Racing Law, Arkansas Greyhound Racing Law, or Local Option Horse Racing and Greyhound Racing Electronic Games of Skill Act. This suggests that contests involving chance and wagering may be subject to similar restrictions.

It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
