ShowHN: We tried to raise the bar with this guide to running giveaways (viralsweep.com)

There is extensive law covering sweepstakes -- often specific to country and state. Does ViralSweep guide me through the process of ensuring that my sweepstakes remains within those legal constraints?


At the moment, we supply a template for sweepstakes run in the USA and Canada under a certain prize value ($5,000; otherwise the promotion needs to be registered in several states). Sweepstakes law, as you said, is extensive so we're taking our time to ensure we handle it in the proper manner before offering global advisement.
