Can I offer contests that involve skill-based games in Nebraska? What are the requirements?
Contests involving skill-based games in Nebraska
Nebraska law allows licensed organizations to conduct promotional games and award promotional game prizes at a bingo occasion [1.1]. However, the winner of a promotional game must be determined by an element of chance or by some other factor, except for certain types of games such as keno, scratch-off or rub-off tickets, and slot machines [1.1].
Based on the provided context, it is unclear whether contests involving skill-based games are allowed in Nebraska outside of the context of bingo. However, it is worth noting that Nebraska has specific regulations for ticket validation for games such as Pick 3 and Pick 5 [2.1][2.2]. Additionally, the Nebraska Amusement Ride Act requires inspectors to possess specific training and certification [3.1].
Requirements
If contests involving skill-based games are allowed in Nebraska, the specific requirements will depend on the type of contest and the prizes being offered. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, if the contest involves the sale of tickets, vendors must file a disclosure form with the Division [2.3].
