Requirements for Offering Contests with In-Game Promotions in Nevada

Based on the information provided in the context documents, it is lawful to offer contests that involve in-game promotions in Nevada as long as all required federal, state, county, and municipal licenses are procured and maintained [1.1].

To be eligible to receive a state gaming license, a corporation, other than a publicly traded corporation, must be incorporated in the State of Nevada or in another state of the United States, if all persons having any direct or indirect interest of any nature in the corporation are licensed as required by NRS 463.530 and any applicable regulations of the Commission. The corporation must also maintain an office on the licensed premises, comply with all of the requirements of the laws of the State of Nevada pertaining to corporations, and maintain a ledger in the principal office of the corporation in Nevada, which shall reflect the ownership of every class of security issued by the corporation and be available for inspection by the Board, Commission, and their authorized agents at all reasonable times without notice [1.2].

The Commission may adopt regulations that allow promotional schemes to be conducted by licensed operators of interactive gaming in direct association with a licensed interactive gaming activity, contest, or tournament that includes a raffle, drawing, or other similar game of chance [1.3].

A licensee shall not offer a game or gambling game for play unless the game or gambling game has received a recommendation from the Board or an approval of the Commission. The Commission shall adopt regulations governing the approval of games or gambling games [1.4].

A person shall not receive any consideration, direct or indirect, for conducting a tournament or contest on behalf of or in conjunction with a gaming licensee unless the person has registered with the Board in the manner prescribed by the Board and supplied such information as the Commission requires or unless the person is an officer or employee of the licensee. Any person who conducts a tournament or contest on behalf of or in conjunction with a gaming licensee may be required by the Commission to be licensed by it as well as registered with the Board. Any person so required must apply for a license within 30 days after the decision of the Commission requiring the person to obtain the license. If any person required to be licensed does not apply for a license within 30 days after the decision of the Commission that the person must be licensed, and the Commission finds the person unsuitable for that reason, the gaming licensee with whom the person is associated shall terminate that association upon notification from the Commission by registered or certified mail of its action [1.5].

Conclusion

In summary, to offer contests that involve in-game promotions in Nevada, you must obtain and maintain all required federal, state, county, and municipal licenses. Additionally, corporations must meet certain qualifications to be eligible for a state gaming license, and any person conducting a tournament or contest on behalf of or in conjunction with a gaming licensee must register with the Board and may be required to be licensed by the Commission. The Commission may also adopt regulations governing the approval of games or gambling games [1.1][1.2][1.3][1.4][1.5].
