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

Offering Contests Involving Mobile Apps in Pennsylvania

To offer contests that involve mobile apps in Pennsylvania, you must obtain a fantasy contest license from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) [1.1]. The PGCB regulates fantasy contests in Pennsylvania and requires all operators to obtain a license [1.2].

Requirements for Obtaining a Fantasy Contest License

To apply for a fantasy contest license, you must submit an application to the PGCB that includes information about your identity, financial background, and the terms and conditions of any agreements related to the operation of fantasy contests [1.3]. The PGCB will review your application and conduct an investigation to determine your qualifications and suitability for a license [1.3].

Once you have fulfilled all the criteria for licensure, including executing a statement of conditions, the PGCB will issue you a fantasy contest license [2.1]. As a licensed operator, you must comply with the conditions of licensure, including monitoring fantasy contests for conduct that violates the law and regulations, ensuring the confidentiality of participants’ personal and financial information, and timely remitting all taxes and assessments to the Department [2.1].

Specific Requirements for Offering Contests Involving Mobile Apps

There are no specific requirements related to mobile apps mentioned in the context documents. However, you must comply with all the requirements set forth by the PGCB and 4 Pa.C.S. Chapter 3 (relating to fantasy contests) [1.1][1.2].

Therefore, to offer contests that involve mobile apps in Pennsylvania, you must obtain a fantasy contest license from the PGCB and comply with all the requirements set forth by the PGCB and 4 Pa.C.S. Chapter 3.
