Sweepstakes
Federal law governing the use of sweepstakes became effective in 2000. The federal law requires certain disclosures for mailed sweepstakes and prohibits certain practices. It also includes rules for skill contests. Several states also have laws affecting sweepstakes and contests, some more restrictive than the federal law. In addition, given the global nature of the Internet, publishers involved with online sweepstakes should also be aware that laws in foreign nations may apply.
