You will need this authority to conduct a trade promotion lottery. Please be aware that this authority is only required if the total value of all prizes exceeds $10,000.
A trade promotion lottery is a free-to-enter lottery that promotes goods and services supplied by a business, where chance determines the award of a prize or prizes. A trade promotion lottery is sometimes known as a sweepstake, competition, contest or give-away.
This authority is required to make sure that your lottery is conducted fairly and that you comply with a number of legal responsibilities. Please note that the lottery rules, also known as terms and conditions, must be readily available to potential entrants for free.
If you are unsure if your trade promotion requires an authority, you can use the community gaming check tool.
