Free Contests and Sweepstakes
What is a Sweepstake?
A sweepstake is a promotion where prizes are given away for free. They not only are free to enter, but they also do not require a purchase in order to participate in them.
According to Wikipedia, sweepstakes typically involve aggressive enticements to enter a contest for fantastically large prizes; there should be no cost to the entrant to enter for the prize, with the exception of possibly being placed on a promotional mailing list. Sweepstake winners should also not be required to pay a fee of any type to receive their prize.
Legal
From a legal point of view, because of the perceived deceptive nature of sweepstakes, they are heavily regulated. The US, Canada, and individual US states all have laws covering sweepstakes, resulting in special rules depending on where the entrant lives. Notably, Canada and several European countries require entrants to solve a mathematical puzzle, making it a contest of skill, in order to overcome requirements that would classify sweepstakes as a form of gambling.
