Arkansas Contest and Sweepstakes Laws

A free-to-enter giveaway is the usual safe route in Arkansas, as in most US states. We haven't found a sweepstakes rule specific to Arkansas in an official source, so treat this as general guidance.

  • We haven't found a special sweepstakes registration or bonding rule for Arkansas.
  • Get local legal advice before running a chance promotion that involves a purchase or a large prize.

Beyond these points, the general US rules on free entry and clear official rules likely apply.

Gleam generates Terms & Conditions for every Competition. Tick A Purchase or Donation is Required to Complete This Action on any paid Action and Gleam adds a free entry alternative. On the Pro Plan and above, Restrict Entries by Location can limit entry to the US, but it works by country, not state. To leave out a state, add the State field on the Pre-Entry tab and name the excluded states in your terms.

This isn't legal advice. Check your promotion with a lawyer licensed in Arkansas before you launch.

What Does “No Purchase Necessary” Actually Mean?

It means you can't make people buy anything to enter a sweepstakes. If a purchase is part of entering, you need a free alternative method of entry (AMOE).
