Prize Draw

[msfreud]

Is there any specific legislation regarding Prize Draws? We want to organize a Prize Draw, the entrants will be people who join our mailing list and the prize would be one of our products. Is there a requirement to give the actual random selection task to a third party or can we do it ourselves? Thanks.

There is a free article on this on our web site under Business Resources.

Many thanks, I read the article. However because in our case there's no payment to be made by the entrant, based on point 3 of your definition, the event isn't a lottery.
So there are no rules imposed on running the prize in our case?

Is any payment made to be added to your mailing list ie they must be customers who have paid to be on the mailing list by buying a service or product or is it open to anyone?

Hi, Thanks again for your post. It is open to anyone, actually the entrants are prospects, not customers.They just give us their email address that's all.
