Requirements for Offering Contests that Involve Loyalty Programs in Idaho
Based on the provided context documents, there are no specific requirements or regulations mentioned regarding offering contests that involve loyalty programs in Idaho. However, it is important to note that Idaho law prohibits requiring any kind of entry fee, service charge, purchase, payments to information providers, or other obligation in order to enter or participate in a promotion or receive any of the offered awards, prizes, or gifts [4.1].
Additionally, the Idaho Regional Travel and Convention Grant Program provides grant funds to non-profit, incorporated organizations which have in place a viable travel or convention promotion program, or both, in their area of operation. Preference is given to programs with a primary focus of promoting overnight visitation in Idaho. Funds may be used for tourism marketing which has a positive economic impact to the state of Idaho including, but not limited to, the promotion of accommodations, recreational areas, events, conferences, food and beverage, tourism services, culture, attractions, and transportation [2.1].
It is recommended to consult with an attorney or legal expert to ensure compliance with any applicable laws and regulations.
