legal question about offering giveaways/contests

    I was thinking about offering a $25,000 giveaway to a random advertiser who uses my pixel ads site and was wondering about the legal aspects of it. Has anyone done something similar or can you offer any advice?

    I'm not using DP as my only source, I'm just looking for people experiences and maybe someone who could point me in the right direction regarding this type of thing on a website.

    Jeffrey Cohen of Internet Litigators should be able to offer you some professional advice on how to word everything. He has a pretty good membership program that should be able to have you covered

    Thanks for that link. After more searching, I found this page that outlines what I was looking for. Now I just need to decide if I want to jump through the hoops of running an official contest or find other means of promotion.

    Thanks for that link. I have been considering offering a version of Expression Web as well, just have not had the time. (Well I actually wanted to use it on a new website that I was putting up, maybe I will make the time now.)

    Good luck with the contest!

    You dont mention where you are?

    In the UK as you are having to buy something to gain entry and there is no element of skill you would have to have a gambling license.
