I appreciate all of the help and your time for answering this.
I am from NY but my idea will be done online.
I am an artist and I am creating a trading card game where people can win money and prizes. Ive heard that it needs to be a sweepstakes but I just need to know what actions i need to take before i can go live with it.
Here is the way it will work.
People/customers will sign up for a monthly membership, depending on their choice of membership will determine how many collectible game cards they receive in the mail each month.
Once or twice a month I will do a live random drawing of a combination of cards, if a customer has that combination of cards in their collection, and they are the first to post the picture proof on my website then they win the prize money/items!
In a way it is sort of like the monopoly game McDonalds holds every year for example but different of course.
What steps would i need to take to make sure i am obeying the law before i proceed with this venture?
Thanks again in advance.
