Can I offer contests that involve push notifications in Delaware? What are the requirements?
Offering Contests with Push Notifications in Delaware
Based on the provided context documents, it is possible to offer contests that involve push notifications in Delaware. However, there are certain requirements that must be met to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Interactive Fantasy Sports Contests
If the push notification contest involves interactive fantasy sports contests, it must be registered with the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement [1.2][1.3]. The Delaware Interactive Fantasy Contests Act requires that interactive fantasy sports contests be games of skill and not games of chance [1.8]. Additionally, the operator must be registered with the Director pursuant to § 4864 of this title [1.3]. The Director shall promulgate regulations to implement the provisions of this subchapter, including the development of the initial form of the application for registration. Such regulations shall provide for the registration and operation of contests in Delaware and shall include responsible protections with regard to compulsive play and safeguards for fair play [1.6].
Internet Lottery
If the push notification contest involves an internet lottery, the Director is authorized to operate an Internet lottery in accordance with this chapter, other Delaware laws, and federal law [1.9]. No Internet lottery game shall be conducted unless the software, computer or other gaming equipment utilized can verify that the player engaged in such game is physically present in the State at the time they engage in such games [1.9].
Conclusion
In conclusion, if the push notification contest involves skill-based elements and is registered with the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement and the Director, it may be possible to offer it in Delaware. However, it is recommended to consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Note: This response is based on the assumption that the push notification contest is not a form of gambling. If it is, additional requirements and restrictions may apply.
