Requirements for Contests Involving Social Media Promotions in Connecticut
Based on the provided documents, it appears that the Connecticut Lottery Corporation is authorized to operate fantasy contests [1.1][1.2]. However, the documents do not provide specific information on the requirements for contests involving social media promotions in Connecticut.
According to [2.2], an electronic wagering platform offering fantasy contests shall clearly identify on the internet website and mobile application the person that is offering the fantasy contest. Additionally, the hardware and backup hardware for the electronic wagering platform used for fantasy contests shall be located in separate facilities owned or leased by the master wagering licensee or online gaming operator that are secure, inaccessible to the public, and specifically designed to house that equipment, and where the equipment shall be under the complete control of the master wagering licensee or online gaming operator, as applicable.
It is recommended that you consult with a legal expert or contact the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection for further guidance on the matter.
