Can I offer contests that involve loyalty programs in Connecticut? What are the requirements?

Contests Involving Loyalty Programs in Connecticut

Based on the context documents, there are no specific requirements for contests involving loyalty programs in Connecticut. However, sweepstakes and games of skill are regulated under Connecticut law [3.1].

To determine if your proposed contest is legal, you should consult with a legal professional who can review the specific details of your loyalty program and contest.

If you plan to conduct any type of online gaming or wagering, including fantasy contests, you must comply with the requirements outlined in section 12-854 of the Connecticut General Statutes [1.1]. This includes using an electronic wagering platform that verifies the age and physical location of participants, providing responsible gambling information, and maintaining the security of participant data.

If you plan to operate a retail sports wagering facility, you must obtain a license from the Connecticut Lottery Corporation and comply with the regulations outlined in sections 12-853 to 12-865 of the Connecticut General Statutes [1.3].

If you plan to operate fantasy contests, you must obtain a license from the Connecticut Lottery Corporation and pay 13.75% of the gross receipts from fantasy contests to the state [1.5].

Finally, if you plan to employ individuals in connection with your contest or gaming operation, those individuals must obtain an occupational license issued by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection [4.1].

In summary, while the context documents do not provide specific requirements for contests involving loyalty programs, you should consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
