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

Based on the provided context documents, it appears that Wisconsin has specific eligibility requirements and licensing criteria for various types of contests and events. However, it is unclear whether free entry contests are subject to any specific requirements or regulations.

According to ^[4.1], a raffle may not be conducted in Wisconsin unless any winner in the raffle is determined by a drawing with all tickets or calendars having an equal opportunity to win. A qualified organization under s. 563.907 may not conduct a raffle unless it first receives a license under s. 563.92. However, a qualified organization under s. 563.907 that has not received a license under s. 563.92 may conduct a raffle if certain conditions are met, including that the prize does not exceed $500.

It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to determine if there are any additional requirements or regulations for free entry contests in Wisconsin.
