Can I offer contests that involve in-game promotions in Minnesota? What are the requirements?
Based on the context documents, it appears that offering contests that involve in-game promotions in Minnesota may fall under the category of lawful gambling. In order to conduct lawful gambling in Minnesota, a person or organization must obtain a license from the Minnesota Gambling Control Board [1.1].
To obtain a linked bingo game provider license, a person or organization must meet certain qualifications and restrictions outlined in Minnesota Statutes, sections 349.155, subdivision 3, and 349.1635, and must submit a detailed application containing information about the business, personnel, management plan, and more [1.1].
Additionally, electronic linked bingo game systems must meet certain standards and requirements, including providing secured data transmission and allowing for electronic monitoring by the board [1.2].
Without more specific information about the nature of the contests and promotions being offered, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. However, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or contact the Minnesota Gambling Control Board for more information on the licensing and regulatory requirements for conducting lawful gambling in Minnesota.
