Contests that Involve Email Promotions in Connecticut
There are no specific regulations in Connecticut that prohibit offering contests that involve email promotions. However, it is important to ensure that the contest complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to sweepstakes and gambling [3.1].
If the contest involves a prize, it must not represent that there is a strong likelihood that a person will be awarded a prize if it uses any language or format to indicate that the recipient of the offer has won or will be awarded a prize, unless such language is qualified by additional language stating that the receipt of such prize is contingent upon the recipient having the winning number or entry [3.1].
Additionally, if the contest involves gambling, it must comply with the regulations related to sports wagering, fantasy contests, and lottery ticket sales in Connecticut [1.2][1.3][3.1].
Therefore, if you plan to offer contests that involve email promotions in Connecticut, you must ensure that the contest complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to sweepstakes and gambling.
