Can I offer contests that involve mobile apps in Kansas? What are the requirements?
Here is your answer:
Offering Contests with Mobile Apps in Kansas
Kansas law allows sports wagering through one or more lottery gaming facility managers that have contracted with the Kansas lottery in accordance with the Kansas expanded lottery act to manage sports wagering on behalf of the Kansas lottery, including, but not limited to, sports wagering over the internet through websites and mobile device applications, through interactive sports wagering platforms approved by the Kansas lottery and the use of any such platform at the primary facility of a professional sports team or other marketing entity pursuant to a marketing agreement entered into between the lottery gaming facility manager and the professional sports team or other marketing entity in accordance with K.S.A. 2022 Supp. 74-8784 [1.1][1.2].
Based on the above, it appears that offering contests with mobile apps in Kansas is allowed as long as it is managed by a lottery gaming facility manager that has contracted with the Kansas lottery and is in compliance with the Kansas expanded lottery act. However, it is important to note that the documents do not provide specific requirements for offering contests with mobile apps in Kansas. Therefore, we recommend consulting with a legal professional for further guidance.
I hope this helps!
