Thinking of running a competition which involves giving-away prizes? Will it be a game of skill or a game of chance? Believe it or not, running a competition, particularly in the age of social media can be a complex legal minefield. This is particularly so given that the laws in each state or territory can be quite different! Many businesses do not realise that these sorts of promotions are regulated by strict trade promotion lotteries laws, as well as the specific rules of each particular social media platform.
It is crucial to remain well-informed regarding regulations, as a failure to comply can lead to severe consequences, including hefty financial sanctions and significant damage to your business’ reputation.
We provide expert guidance on structuring your promotions, drafting terms and conditions, preparing necessary permit applications, liaising with the relevant state gaming authority on your behalf and handling any other legal requirements to minimise compliance risks and maximise success. Trust us to help you run a seamless, legally compliant trade promotion without the headaches.
