Nebraska Contest and Sweepstakes Laws

Yes, you can run a business giveaway in Nebraska. State law calls these gift enterprises and sets rules for running them fairly.

• Neb. Rev. Stat. § 9-701 lets any operator run a gift enterprise, meaning a contest or game of chance used to promote products or services.
• You can't charge an entry fee. You can ask for proof of purchase, as long as the price isn't higher than it would be without the promotion.
• You can't rig the game, arbitrarily reject entries, fail to award prizes or use misleading advertising.
• Nebraska has no special sweepstakes registration or bonding rule in the statutes we checked.

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 Nebraska before you launch.
