Can I offer contests that involve charity donations in Arizona? What are the requirements?
Based on the documents provided, it is unclear whether contests involving charity donations are allowed in Arizona. However, Arizona law permits certain types of contests and wagers, including fantasy sports contests and event wagers [1.2][3.1].
Requirements for Licensed Fantasy Sports Contest Operators
Licensed fantasy sports contest operators in Arizona are required to report any changes to ownership information within 30 days of the change [3.2]. They must also retain and maintain all required records in a secure location for at least three years [3.2].
Requirements for Licensed Event Wager Operators
Licensed event wager operators in Arizona must submit a catalogue of events and types of wagers they intend to offer to the Department of Gaming prior to implementation [4.2]. They must also submit written requests to the Department for events and wager types not previously authorized [4.2]. The Department will issue written approval or disapproval within seven days of receipt of the request [4.2].
Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or contact the Arizona Department of Gaming for further guidance on whether contests involving charity donations are allowed and what requirements must be met.
