Can I offer contests that involve website promotions in Kansas? What are the requirements?

Contests that involve website promotions in Kansas

Kansas has strict regulations regarding lottery advertisements and promotions, as well as the operation of lottery gaming facilities ^[1.1]. However, it is unclear whether these regulations apply to contests that involve website promotions.

The Kansas lottery act and the Kansas expanded lottery act authorize sports wagering through one or more lottery gaming facility managers that have contracted with the Kansas lottery ^[1.2]. These acts also allow marketing agreements between a lottery gaming facility manager and a professional sports team, auto racetrack facility, or other marketing entity for the purpose of marketing sports wagering at the primary facility of such entities ^[1.4].

Based on the available information, it is unclear whether contests that involve website promotions are subject to the same regulations as lottery advertisements and promotions. Therefore, we cannot provide a definitive answer to your query.
