Can I offer contests that involve college sports in Arkansas? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the Arkansas Code, combative sports elimination contests are regulated by the State Athletic Commission ^[1.2]. However, there is no specific information regarding contests involving college sports. Therefore, it is unclear whether such contests are allowed in Arkansas and what the requirements would be.

It is worth noting that Arkansas has regulations regarding paid fantasy sports games ^[2.1][2.2]. Paid fantasy sports games are allowed in Arkansas, but they cannot be based on college sports ^[2.2]. Additionally, game operators are required to pay a tax for the privilege of conducting paid fantasy sports games ^[2.1].

In summary, while there are regulations regarding combative sports and paid fantasy sports games in Arkansas, there is no specific information regarding contests involving college sports. Therefore, it is unclear whether such contests are allowed in Arkansas and what the requirements would be.
