Can I offer contests that involve email promotions in Montana? What are the requirements?
Requirements for Offering Contests that Involve Email Promotions in Montana
Based on the context documents, it appears that Montana law allows for the operation of sports wagering and ancillary activities, including contests, when conducted in accordance with the provisions of Montana Code Annotated (MCA) Chapter 23-7 and rules of the Montana State Lottery Commission [2.2].
However, there is no specific information regarding contests that involve email promotions.
The Montana Administrative Rules (MAR) provide general requirements for conducting raffles, including the requirement to make all raffle terms available to the public prior to the sale of any raffle tickets, establish and make available the date of the raffle drawing, and provide a complete description of the prize(s) and its value [1.2].
Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with the Montana State Lottery Commission to determine the specific requirements for offering contests that involve email promotions in Montana. You can address your inquiries and applications regarding the commission to the director of the Montana State Lottery [4.1].
In summary, while Montana law allows for the operation of contests, including those that involve email promotions, it is unclear what the specific requirements are for offering such contests in Montana. It is recommended that you consult with the Montana State Lottery Commission for further guidance.
