Loyalty Program Contests in Wisconsin
Based on the provided documents, it is unclear whether offering contests that involve loyalty programs in Wisconsin is legal or not. However, we can provide some information that may be relevant to your query.
The Wisconsin Legislature defines a lottery as an enterprise wherein for a consideration the participants are given an opportunity to win a prize, the award of which is determined by chance, even though accompanied by some skill [1]. It is important to note that a lottery is illegal in Wisconsin unless it is conducted by the state or by a qualified organization under a license issued by the state [1].
Additionally, the documents mention several types of contests related to wildlife and conservation, such as the Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest and the Federal Duck Stamp Contest [2][4]. These contests are sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and aim to recognize the conservation efforts of young people and support environmental and conservation education programs in the United States [2]. However, it is unclear whether these contests are subject to specific regulations or requirements.
Therefore, we recommend consulting with a legal expert or contacting the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to determine whether offering contests that involve loyalty programs in Wisconsin is legal and what requirements must be met.
