To offer contests that involve international sports in California, you may need to comply with various legal requirements. The specific requirements may depend on the type of contest and the sports involved. However, we found some relevant regulations that may apply to your situation.

Electronic Raffle System, Venue Requirements.

If you plan to conduct a raffle as part of the contest, you may need to comply with the Electronic Raffle System, Venue Requirements [1.2]. This regulation requires that the electronic raffle system must be housed in a permanent, secure location, and the network must be stable. Additionally, a qualified person must be available to provide technical support for the networks before, during, and after the manual draw.

Registrant Disclosure and Bureau Access to Venue.

If you plan to register the contest with the Bureau, you may need to comply with the Registrant Disclosure and Bureau Access to Venue regulation [1.4]. This regulation requires that every registrant shall make true and complete disclosures of all information, documents, and other records requested by the Bureau. Additionally, Bureau personnel shall have access to the venue before, during, and after a registered event.

Referee’s License.

If the contest involves martial arts or kickboxing matches, you may need to comply with the Referee’s License regulation [2.1]. This regulation requires that an applicant shall meet various requirements to be licensed as a referee, including having two years of documented experience refereeing martial arts or kickboxing matches, passing a written examination, and performing a demonstration of competency by performing as a referee in a martial arts match.

Please note that these regulations may not be exhaustive, and you may need to comply with additional requirements depending on the specific circumstances of your contest. We recommend consulting with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
