Can I offer contests that involve push notifications in Massachusetts? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents, it appears that there are no specific regulations regarding contests that involve push notifications in Massachusetts. However, there are regulations regarding contests in general that must be followed.

According to 940 CMR 34.12, DFSOs (Daily Fantasy Sports Operators) must ensure fairness in their contests and disclose certain information to players. This includes restrictions on employees and others affiliated with the DFSO playing in contests, disclosures required of DFSO promoters, restrictions on sharing non-public information that may affect DFS gameplay, and restrictions on the number of entries by contest.

Regarding electronic signs, 700 CMR 3.17 outlines the requirements for electronic sign permits. These requirements include restrictions on the brightness and illumination of the sign, as well as restrictions on the content of the sign.

Therefore, if you plan to offer contests that involve push notifications, you should ensure that they comply with the regulations outlined in 940 CMR 34.12. Additionally, if you plan to use electronic signs to advertise your contests, you should ensure that the signs comply with the requirements outlined in 700 CMR 3.17.

You should also be aware of the requirements outlined in 700 CMR 3.16, which requires license and permit holders to notify the Director in writing of any changes to their business addresses, primary phone number, email, or other pertinent contact information, as well as any changes to their signs.

Overall, it is important to ensure that any contests you offer are fair and comply with all relevant regulations.
