Can I offer contests that involve mobile apps in Maine? What are the requirements?

To offer contests involving mobile apps in Maine, you must obtain a license from the Director of the Gambling Control Unit and comply with the licensing requirements, including submitting an application with the required information and paying any necessary fees [8 MERS Section 1103][1.1]. The application must include the physical address of the applicant’s principal place of business, the designated contact person for the applicant, and disclosure of ownership interests [16-633 MECM Ch. 35][5.1]. Additionally, you must disclose the number of entries that a fantasy contestant may submit to each fantasy contest and provide reasonable steps to prevent fantasy contestants from submitting more than the allowable number [8 MERS Section 1105][1.2].

It is important to note that the requirements for offering contests involving mobile apps may vary depending on the type of contest being offered. For example, a mobile sports wagering license is required to conduct sports wagering in which wagers are placed by persons who are physically located in the State through any mobile applications or digital platforms approved by the director within the terms and conditions of the license and any rules adopted under this chapter [8 MERS Section 1207][3.1].

In summary, to offer contests involving mobile apps in Maine, you must obtain a license from the Director of the Gambling Control Unit and comply with the licensing requirements, including submitting an application with the required information and paying any necessary fees. The requirements may vary depending on the type of contest being offered.
