Our internet sweepstakes lawyer can help you build and run legally compliant online sweepstakes. Regardless of how you deploy the online promotion, an Online Sweepstakes Lawyer can help you navigate through the state and federal legal requirements of establishing, registering, binding, running and fulfilling internet and mobile Sweepstakes. A Sweepstakes is (1) a game of chance with "usually" a (2) free entry.
What do you need to run a legally complaint Internet Sweepstakes? Meeting legal compliance requirements can be very cumbersome. The goal is to meet contest or sweepstakes guidelines while avoiding all dangers associating with running illegal lotteries. Our Internet Sweepstakes Lawyers work on many successful internet sweepstakes and would love to help you with your promotional marketing project as well. To accomplish this all aspects of the Online Sweepstake must properly align. You’ll need the following:
- An Internet sweepstakes is a game of chance: The classic example of a game of chance is raffle ticket; however, did you know that an element of chance can result in a contest being deemed to be a sweepstakes. That can be a real issue for Internet promotional marketing projects. Our online sweeps lawyers have worked with many promotional marketing projects that were designed as internet and mobile contests requiring skill, but were legally games of chance. When you add elements of chance to an Internet promotion, like user defined and contributed judging, your Internet contest may become legally an online sweepstake. The web 2.0 nature of many online promotions, require the participation of Internet sweepstakes lawyers. Internet sweepstakes lawyers have the expertise required to properly assess the implication of social network and user generated content on your online promotional marketing.
- An Internet sweepstakes "usually" allows for FREE entry: An online sweepstake that requires payment for entry may be deemed to be an illegal lottery. Federal law only permits States to regulate lotteries. As a result, our online sweepstakes lawyers work with many web 2.0 marketers on the design of free alternatives. If you look back to the Publishers' Clearing House Sweepstakes, you probably remember that purchase of a magazine subscription was not required. Instead sweepstakes entries could be submitted for free by mailing a card to a specified address. Publishers' Clearing House essentially provided a free alternative form of entry in order to avoid being labeled an illegal lottery. The same needs to be done for many online and mobile sweepstakes. Not all free alternatives methods are legally compliant. Call Lior Leser. As an Internet sweepstakes attorney, Mr. Leser can help guide you through the legal requirements of setting up compliant entry forms.
