Thanks for your reply.This is governed by the Gaming and Lotteries Act. The rules applicable will vary on the nature of the venture (raffle/lottery Vs game of skill). The typical raffle/lottery license won't do it as the organisers are not allowed to profit personally from those.
We will have a question before you can enter the competition- If we have this, do we need a license ?
Three tests for a lottery. Paid entry. Game of chance. Prize. Fail one to avoid needing a licence.
We will have the following
1) Question to be answered correctly to be in the competition
2) Paid entry
3) A prize - prizes will change all the time.
So would you say somewhere like .jdcompetitions.ie is doing this without a license ? - I see nothing on their site stating they have a license.
Which license would you need to get ?
What would what i'm trying to do be classed as ?
I thought having the question made it a game of skill not chance.
thanks for your reply.
