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

Yes, you can offer contests that involve loyalty programs in Oregon. However, there are certain requirements that must be met.

Requirements for Eligibility

According to ORAR 177-051-0040 [1.2], to be eligible to receive any promotional reward, giveaway, or any other item of value offered in a Lottery promotion, or to participate in a Player Loyalty Program, a person must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a natural person 18 years of age or older, unless a specific promotion or Player Loyalty Program requires the entrant to be 21 years of age or older;
  • Must not be:
  • An employee or representative of the Lottery, or the spouse, child, brother, sister, or parent of any such employee or representative;
  • An employee or representative of the Oregon State Police, Gaming Enforcement Division; or
  • A Lottery vendor who is prohibited by contract with the Lottery from participating in the promotion or is prohibited from playing Lottery games.
  • Must accept and abide by all terms and conditions applicable to the promotion.

If at any time the Lottery determines that a person who participates in a promotion, including, but not limited to a Player Loyalty Program, does not meet the eligibility requirements listed above, that person is disqualified. A person who is disqualified is not eligible to participate in the promotion and is not eligible to receive any promotional reward, giveaway, or any other item of value offered in the promotion.

Limitation of Liability

It is important to note that the State of Oregon, its agents, officers, and employees, the Oregon State Lottery Commission, and the Oregon State Lottery, and its agents, officers, and employees, are not liable for any injuries, losses, or damages arising from, related to, or caused by a promotion, or any claims arising from or related to the acceptance, possession, or use of any promotional reward, giveaway, or any other item of value offered by the Lottery, as stated in ORAR 177-051-0120 [1.2].

Conclusion

In summary, you can offer contests that involve loyalty programs in Oregon, but you must ensure that participants meet the eligibility requirements outlined in ORAR 177-051-0040 [1.2] and abide by all terms and conditions applicable to the promotion. Additionally, it is important to note that the State of Oregon, its agents, officers, and employees, the Oregon State Lottery Commission, and the Oregon State Lottery, and its agents, officers, and employees, are not liable for any injuries, losses, or damages arising from, related to, or caused by the promotion or any claims arising from or related to the acceptance, possession, or use of any promotional reward, giveaway, or any other item of value offered by the Lottery, as stated in ORAR 177-051-0120 [1.2].
