Can I offer contests that involve in-game promotions in Tennessee? What are the requirements?
Based on the information available in the context documents, it appears that offering contests that involve in-game promotions in Tennessee may require compliance with the Tennessee Coupon Sales Promotion Act of 1980 [2.1][2.3].
According to the Act, no promoter shall sell, offer for sale, or otherwise publish or distribute any coupon without a prior contract or agreement in writing with the coupon sponsor. The contract shall set forth all terms and conditions under which coupons obligating the sponsor may be published, distributed, or sold, including a specific description of the goods, services, or discount privileges which the sponsor will provide in exchange for each coupon presented for redemption, the hours during each day and the days during each week when the coupon will be accepted for redemption by the sponsor, the expiration date of the coupon, and all purchases required of a coupon holder as a condition of redemption and any other restrictions or limitations imposed on the redemption of the coupons by the sponsor [2.1].
It is recommended that you consult with a legal expert or contact the Tennessee Council on Sports Gaming to determine the specific requirements for offering contests that involve in-game promotions in Tennessee [3.1]. They have the sole authority to approve, condition, or deny an application for a License or Registration, or renewal thereof, and can provide guidance on the specific requirements for offering contests that involve in-game promotions in Tennessee.
Therefore, to ensure compliance with the Tennessee Coupon Sales Promotion Act of 1980 and any other relevant regulations, it is recommended that you seek legal advice before offering contests that involve in-game promotions in Tennessee.
