Additionally, licensed operators are restricted from allowing individuals under 18 years of age to participate in fantasy contests in Pennsylvania, and individuals under 21 years of age to participate in contests conducted within a licensed facility [2.1][1.4].
Gaming Junket Enterprises
Regarding gaming junket enterprises, a license is required prior to organizing a gaming junket to a licensed facility or receiving compensation from any person as a result of the conduct of a gaming junket [3.1].
Based on the provided context, there are no specific requirements or restrictions related to offering contests that involve VIP programs in Pennsylvania. However, it is recommended to consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
