Running a competition online

balllad21 · 2009-11-14 12:52:48

Hi, I am looking to run an online competition where there will be a cash entry fee for a cash prize. Is there any legal aspects to this model that i need to worry about? I've never run a competition before so am not sure what if any steps i need to take to make it legal and above board. Can anyone help? thanks

A quick google search found this which may be relevant: http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/Pages/Gaming_and_lotteries

Typically, to run a lottery, you need a Garda Superintendent’s permit or a District Court licence and to keep to the terms of the permit or licence.
