Can I offer contests that involve mobile apps in Indiana? What are the requirements?
Here is your answer to the query based on the context you provided:
Indiana law allows contests that involve mobile apps, but there are specific requirements that must be met. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles may issue a mobile credential to an individual who satisfies the requirements for application under IC 9-24-17.5-2 for a driver’s license, learner’s permit, or identification card [1.1]. The bureau may also develop a secure and uniform system to issue mobile credentials that can be accessed through an application on a telecommunications device [1.2]. However, these provisions are related to driver’s licenses and identification cards, and do not apply to contests that involve mobile apps.
There are also provisions related to mobile gaming in Indiana, but these are specific to electronic wireless systems approved by the Indiana Horse Racing Commission that allow a patron to place wagers funded by a mobile wagering account by means of a mobile gaming device [2.1][3.1][2.2][2.3]. These provisions do not apply to contests that involve mobile apps.
Indiana law does not have specific provisions related to contests that involve mobile apps. However, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to administer IC 9-24-17.5, including rules to impose a fee to issue a mobile credential as set forth in IC 9-14-8-3(4) [1.3].
Therefore, based on the context provided, it is unclear what the specific requirements are for offering contests that involve mobile apps in Indiana.
