It’s the core of our business
Sweepstakes are giveaway promotions where purchase is not required in order to enter. These generally generate the largest volume of entries through basic random draw, programmed learning/qualified entry (answering basic product related questions), and automatic entry (coupons, credit card, usage, telephone, etc.).
At Compliance Sweepstakes Services®, we assure:
- Complete legal compliance and official rules
- Winner affidavits and releases
- State filing and registration
- Surety bonds
- Issue required tax forms
- Errors & Omissions indemnification of up to $1,000,000
It's part of our job, and responsibility to our clients, to stay abreast of changes in the area of promotion law and sweepstakes legislation…on both a national and state-by-state basis. That's why we work with the best promotion law attorneys in the business, attend industry-sponsored promotion law conferences, and are actively involved in trade organizations such as the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and Brand Activation Association (BAA).
