Sweepstakes Laws in Vermont
Generally Permitted
Generally Permitted
No active ban or enforcement. Individual analysis of Vermont gambling and promotional laws required.
What this means for operators
Sweepstakes operations are generally permitted in Vermont with proper compliance
No-Purchase-Necessary Rule
Vermont requires sweepstakes promotions to include a free alternative method of entry (AMOE). Your promotion rules must clearly describe both the purchase and AMOE options.
Official Rules Required
All sweepstakes operating in Vermont must have official rules that comply with state promotional contest requirements — including void-where-prohibited language and applicable disclosures.
Product Analysis Still Required
"Permitted" does not mean unrestricted. Social casino games, sweepstakes casinos, and skill gaming products still require individual legal analysis in Vermont to confirm they fall outside gambling definitions.
