Can I offer contests that involve free entry in Missouri? What are the requirements?

Offering Contests with Free Entry in Missouri

Based on the provided context documents, it appears that Missouri law allows for fantasy sports contests to be offered by licensed operators [1.1]. However, there is no specific information regarding contests with free entry.

It is important to note that Missouri law requires all contests to comply with the Missouri Fantasy Sports Consumer Protection Act [1.1]. Additionally, any contests offered must comply with the validation requirements set forth by the Missouri Gaming Commission [2.1].

Without further information, it is unclear whether contests with free entry would be subject to the same licensing and validation requirements as paid-entry contests. However, according to the Operational Requirements for Fantasy Sports Contest Operators, licensed operators are required to maintain a detailed description of the standards and procedures used to monitor FSC to detect the use of unauthorized scripts and restrict players found to have used such scripts from further FSC [1.2].

Furthermore, the Missouri Lottery may award prizes other than cash or its equivalent such as cars, trips, and other merchandise [3.1]. However, this rule applies specifically to the Missouri Lottery and may not be applicable to contests offered by licensed operators.

It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional familiar with Missouri gaming laws to determine the specific requirements for offering contests with free entry in Missouri.

Therefore, based on the available information, we cannot provide a definitive answer to your query.
