A.R.S. § 13-3311: Amusement Gambling Contest Registration
Amusement gambling intellectual contests or events; registration; filing of rules; sworn statement; exceptions
Do skill-based prize contests have to register with Arizona's attorney general?
In Arizona, a person running an amusement gambling intellectual contest or event, exempt from general gambling law, must register with the attorney general's office before the contest begins, disclosing the prizes, duration, and rules, and must later file the winners' names and a sworn statement that the purchase price wasn't inflated for the contest. Tax-exempt nonprofits and school academic competitions are excluded from this requirement.
