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

Referral Bonuses in Kansas

Kansas law does not have specific provisions regarding referral bonuses. However, there are certain requirements that must be met if the referral bonus is related to lottery retailers. According to KSST 74-8708, the executive director shall select as lottery retailers such persons as deemed best able to serve the public convenience and promote the sale of tickets or shares in accordance with marketing plans developed by the Kansas lottery. In the selection of lottery retailers, the executive director shall consider factors such as financial responsibility, security of the applicant’s place of business or activity, accessibility of the applicant’s place of business or activity, integrity, reputation, volume of expected sales and such other factors as the executive director may deem appropriate.

Therefore, if the referral bonus is related to lottery retailers, the executive director must select the persons who will be offering the referral bonuses. If it is not related to lottery retailers, there are no specific provisions in Kansas law that regulate referral bonuses.
