Can I offer contests that involve charity donations in Missouri? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the context documents, it appears that Missouri law does not have specific provisions regarding contests that involve charity donations. However, Missouri law allows for fantasy sports contests to be conducted, but there are specific requirements that must be met by licensed operators [1.1][1.2][1.5].

If you plan to conduct a fantasy sports contest that involves charity donations, you may need to obtain a Fantasy Sports Contest Operator (FSCO) license from the Missouri Gaming Commission [1.2]. Licensed operators of fantasy sports contests in Missouri are required to comply with various regulations, including but not limited to maintaining a properly constituted special purpose entity approved by the commission to segregate player funds from operational funds, providing a current set of procedures for a registered player to report complaints to the licensed operator regarding whether his or her account has been misallocated, compromised, or otherwise mishandled, and disclosing any material changes in information provided in the application forms and requested materials submitted to the commission [1.1][1.3][1.4][1.5].

We recommend contacting the Missouri Gaming Commission for further guidance on conducting contests that involve charity donations and obtaining an FSCO license if necessary. Please note that this response is based solely on the information provided in the context documents. If you have any further questions or concerns, we recommend consulting with a legal professional or contacting the Missouri Gaming Commission directly.
