Can I offer contests that involve referral bonuses in Arkansas? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents, it appears that contests with referral bonuses are generally allowed in Arkansas, but there are certain requirements that must be met.

Requirements for Contests with Referral Bonuses

According to ARCO 4-102-104, the contest must not require any payment from the person to the sponsor or any agent of the sponsor in order to participate or receive a prize. Additionally, the contest must not create the reasonable impression of requiring payment, and the sponsor must not make any opportunity for payment available.

It is important to note that there are certain exemptions to the requirements set forth in ARCO 4-102-104. However, none of the exemptions listed in the context documents are relevant to contests with referral bonuses.

Therefore, it appears that contests with referral bonuses are generally allowed in Arkansas, but it is important to ensure that any such contests comply with the requirements set forth in ARCO 4-102-104. ^{[2.1][3.1][4.1]}
