Can I offer contests that involve push notifications in Missouri? What are the requirements?
Offering Contests with Push Notifications in Missouri
Based on the provided context documents, there are no specific requirements mentioned regarding push notifications in Missouri for fantasy sports contests. However, to offer fantasy sports contests (FSCs) in Missouri, a person, entity, or division of a corporate entity must obtain a Fantasy Sports Contest Operator (FSCO) license from the Missouri Gaming Commission [1.2].
To obtain an FSCO license, the applicant must submit an application and ensure that the FSCO Personal Disclosure Form is completed by those key persons, employees, or other individuals requested by the commission. The requested FSCO Personal Disclosure Forms and the required fingerprint sets shall be submitted within thirty (30) days of the commission’s request [1.2].
Additionally, licensed operators are required to comply with the provisions of sections 313.915 and 313.920, RSMo, regarding the verification of each FSC player’s true identity, date of birth, and address [1.3]. Licensed operators shall also take commercially and technologically reasonable measures to comply with the provisions of section 313.915, RSMo, which requires the licensed operator to maintain a properly constituted special purpose entity approved by the commission to segregate player funds from operational funds [1.1].
Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal expert to ensure that your contests involving push notifications comply with all relevant laws and regulations in Missouri.
