Idaho Contest and Sweepstakes Laws

Idaho Code section 18-3801 defines gambling as risking money or something of value for gain that depends on chance. The section lists exclusions, including merchant promotional contests and drawings run alongside a business where prizes are awarded without consideration being charged to participants. It also excludes some contests of skill where awards go only to entrants.

The word to design around is consideration. Don't charge for entry, and don't require a purchase. If an Action involves payment, tick the paid-Action option so Gleam shows a free entry alternative.

Gleam's Terms & Conditions generator takes a Governing Law Country, not a state, so add Idaho wording through custom terms on the Hobby Plan and above.

This isn't legal advice, so check with an Idaho lawyer before you launch. Sources:
