Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cannabis sweepstakes campaign?
A cannabis brand sweepstakes is a promotional program in which eligible participants enter for a chance to win a prize according to official rules and an approved winner-selection process.
What is an instant-win promotion?
An instant-win promotion provides eligible participants with an immediate outcome, such as a prize or non-winning result, based on the configured promotional mechanism.
What is the difference between sweepstakes and instant win?
Sweepstakes generally involve a drawing or other defined winner-selection process, while instant-win promotions determine and reveal outcomes during participation.
The legal classification depends on the actual structure of the promotion, not simply its name.
Is a purchase required to enter?
Not necessarily. Many sweepstakes must provide a no-purchase-necessary entry method to avoid being treated as an unlawful lottery.
The approved entry requirements must be determined based on applicable laws and official rules.
Can we offer a free alternative method of entry?
Campaigns can be structured to accommodate an approved alternative method of entry, subject to supported workflows and campaign configuration.
The campaign sponsor is responsible for determining and implementing legally appropriate entry methods.
Can we run sweepstakes across multiple states?
Potentially. Campaign eligibility and availability depend on the applicable laws in each participating state.
Certain promotions may require additional disclosures, registration, bonding, or other compliance steps.
Can we offer cannabis products as prizes?
Cannabis product giveaways may be restricted or prohibited under applicable laws and regulations. Prize eligibility must be reviewed for each participating market.
Can we offer gift cards or merchandise?
Yes, subject to the applicable promotional rules, prize eligibility, and available fulfillment arrangements.
Can we use a spin-to-win wheel?
An interactive spin-to-win experience may be used when the required interface, outcome determination, and prize allocation capabilities are available and the promotion is legally permitted.
Can MJ Points randomly select winners?
Winner selection can be supported through an approved campaign workflow. The specific random-selection method, audit requirements, and automation capabilities must be confirmed during campaign setup.
Can we limit entries per participant?
Campaigns may use registration, participation rules, and available duplicate-entry controls to support entry limits.
Do consumers need to download an app?
No. Supported campaigns operate through mobile-friendly web pages.
Can we collect consumer information?
Yes. MJ Points supports consumer registration and permission-based data collection. Marketing consent should be obtained separately where required and should not be assumed merely because someone entered a promotion.
Can we require receipt uploads or product codes?
Receipt or product-code validation can support certain promotional experiences, but a purchase requirement may be inappropriate or unlawful for a sweepstakes. The entry structure must be reviewed for compliance before launch.
Can we track campaign results?
Available reporting may include registrations, eligible entries, participation activity, prize outcomes, and fulfillment status, depending on the campaign configuration.
Are sweepstakes and instant-win promotions permitted in every state?
No. Promotional laws vary by state and locality, and cannabis-related promotions may face additional restrictions. Some formats, prizes, entry methods, or promotional incentives may be prohibited.
Does MJ Points provide legal advice?
No. MJ Points provides a marketing technology platform for creating, managing, and tracking promotional campaigns. MJ Points does not provide legal advice regarding promotional structure, official rules, winner selection, eligibility, or regulatory compliance.
