Requirements for Offering Contests Involving International Sports in Indiana
Indiana law does not have specific provisions regarding contests that involve international sports. However, there are general requirements that must be met when offering contests in Indiana.
Firstly, the contest must comply with Indiana’s gambling laws [1].

Thirdly, the contest must comply with any applicable federal laws, such as those related to international sports betting [1].
It is recommended that you consult with an attorney to ensure that your contest complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
