Can I offer contests that involve VIP programs in North Dakota? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context documents, it is unclear whether contests involving VIP programs are allowed in North Dakota. However, according to NDAC Section 99-01.3-05-03, a prize must be an item that may be legally owned and possessed and has a value or a right to a free service. A winning player may not be required to first pay for or buy something to receive a prize. Cash or merchandise prizes may be awarded. A cash prize may be based on a percentage of gross proceeds. However, a single cash prize cannot exceed twenty-five thousand dollars and the total cash prizes cannot exceed twenty-five thousand dollars during a day. The maximum cash prize limits of this section do not apply to a public-spirited organization that supports amateur collegiate athletics. The public-spirited organization’s primary purpose must include support of collegiate athletics [2.1]([2.1]).

For fishing contests, according to NDAC Section 30-03-05-05, fishing contests for all game and nongame fish, with the exception of paddlefish, pallid and shovelnose sturgeon, zander, and grass carp (white amur) are allowable [1.3]([1.3]).

For general licensing requirements, according to NDAC Section 69.5-01-04-01, every license to hold a meeting is granted upon the condition that the licensee shall accept, observe, and enforce these rules [4.1]([4.1]).

Unfortunately, there is no specific information available regarding contests involving VIP programs. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a legal expert or contact the North Dakota Attorney General’s office for further guidance.
