Can I offer contests that involve loyalty programs in Maine? What are the requirements?
Based on the provided documents, it appears that offering contests that involve loyalty programs in Maine may require a license from the Director of the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations, as outlined in 8 MERS Section 1103 and 18-553 MECM Ch. 10 [1.1]. However, it is unclear if these licensing requirements specifically apply to contests that involve loyalty programs.
The licensing requirements outlined in these documents specifically apply to fantasy contests, which are defined as any fantasy or simulated game or contest in which a fantasy or simulated team is selected by a fantasy contestant and the outcome of the game or contest is determined by the statistical performance of the actual players on the fantasy or simulated team [1.1].
Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to determine if your specific contest would require a license in Maine.
In summary, it is unclear if offering contests that involve loyalty programs in Maine would require a license from the Director of the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to determine if your specific contest would require a license [1.1].
