Why Do I Need a Special Rules For My Online Contest or Giveaway?
If your business wants to host a drawing or other giveaway as a promotion, you must ensure you follow the law regarding these promotions, which are typically called “Sweepstakes” laws. Also, for a giveaway you create and manage yourself (“DIY Sweepstakes”), you will need a set of DIY Sweepstakes Rules.
Over the years, we have helped numerous businesses conduct DIY Sweepstakes, and in many cases can offer Flat Fee DIY Sweepstakes Rules creation services.
The Importance of Sweepstakes Contest Rules
DIY Sweepstakes Rules will outline key terms of the contest, such as the qualifications, timing, and other important aspects of the promotional giveaway. In addition, your DIY Sweepstakes Rules should contain important disclosures and disclaimers to help ensure you satisfy the various legal requirements for conducting a sweepstakes.
Don’t Fall For DIY, Free, or Generic Online Forms
Some companies try to minimize expenses by copying documents found online or using cheap online services hoping they have done things correctly and are legally covered. The danger with cookie-cutter forms or “do it yourself” is that, if the DIY Sweepstakes Rules are not comprehensive and clear, they may not adequately protect your interests or fully comply with relevant laws.
