The giveaways described in this subsection (1) are exempt from regulation under this part 6 when all of the conditions set forth in this section are satisfied.(2) No award of prizes by chance for a purpose set forth in subsection (1) of this section is a lottery or game of chance, nor is any share, ticket, or right to participate in an award of prizes deemed to have been sold or charged for, notwithstanding that the award is made to persons who have paid a fee entitling them to general admission to the grounds or premises on which the award is made, if each share or ticket by means of which the award is made is given away free of charge and without any obligation on the part of the person receiving it.(3)(a)(I) A licensee may conduct a prize promotion on the licensed premises, whether the premises are rented or owned by the licensee. A licensee shall clearly disclose, in the rental agreement or otherwise, the promotion and its cost, if any, to the licensee, pursuant to rules adopted by the licensing authority.(II) A landlord licensee shall not require a bingo-raffle licensee to participate in or conduct a promotion under this section, nor may a games manager for any occasion assist in any promotion conducted during an occasion by a landlord licensee. Prizes offered as part of a promotion are not prizes subject to limitation under section 24-21-617 (5).(b) Before conducting a promotion under this section, the licensee shall provide evidence of ownership, free and clear, of the prizes to be offered unless all of the prizes are available for viewing on the premises on the day they are to be awarded.

Any prize offered pursuant to this section must be awarded by the end of the calendar quarter in which it was offered.(d) The licensing authority may establish by rule the maximum amount or value of a cash prize or a prize of a product or service that may be awarded; except that such maximum amount must be at least one thousand dollars.Amended by 2024 Ch. 420,§ 2, eff. 6/5/2024.Renumbered from C.R.S. § 12-9-102.5 and amended by 2017 Ch. 233, § 2, eff. 5/23/2017.Amended by 2014 Ch. 100, § 2, eff. 8/6/2014.L. 2017: Entire part added with relocations, (SB 17-232), ch. 233, p. 913, § 2, effective May 23.This section is similar to former § 12-9-102.5 as it existed prior to 2017.
