Someone had mentioned this when I pitched the idea. Couldn't the fees to play be considered a service? You are not betting, but instead solving a problem.

- trotsky 16y agoI'm not an expert but I think they already have that loophole covered, hence why promotions with prizes are always "no purchase necessary".
- mryan 16y agoYou really need to seek some professional legal advice on this - you are thinking of setting up a gambling website, and will need to be registered with and regulated by the relevant authority. If you are pitching this as a "service", I believe you will need to offer free play. An example from the UK: Let's say a particular chocolate bar brand is running a competition where you can win a prize by finding a special code inside the chocolate wrapper. They are legally required to offer free entry for this to be classified as a competition (so you can write to them and ask for a free entry form - they have to comply). If you can only enter the "competition" by paying, it is considered gambling and regulated accordingly.
