Offering Contests Involving International Sports in Montana

Based on the provided context documents, it appears that Montana allows for certain types of sports wagering and pools, but the regulations are specific to the state and do not mention international sports. It is unclear whether contests involving international sports would be allowed in Montana.

However, Montana law does allow for fantasy sports parimutuel networks to be licensed ^[2.1]. These networks are required to perform certain duties, including managing statewide parimutuel pools on fantasy sports leagues and ensuring compliance with all board statutes and rules. Additionally, Montana law requires that sports pools be designed to ensure that there is at least one winner from among the participants in the pool and that each participant has an equal chance to win ^[5.1].

Without further information on the specific nature of the contests involving international sports, it is difficult to determine whether they would be allowed in Montana. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional familiar with Montana state laws and regulations regarding sports wagering and pools to ensure compliance.
