Saver's Sweepstakes® Compliance Bites

Compliance Training Videos

The League’s Legal Affairs Department has recorded a series of 11 short compliance videos, which we call Saver's Sweepstakes® Compliance Bites, to help explain our Saver’s Sweepstakes program and the compliance issues that can arise.

Staff can watch any of these videos whenever they need a quick explanation of a particular compliance issue. It’s not necessary to watch to them in order (but it would make sense if you plan to watch them all, since they start with basic information and move on to more detailed topics).

The following videos will give you a topical breakdown of the compliance material covered in the Saver's Sweepstakes ii Release 0184.

1.The Basics covers some of the fundamentals – what Saver’s Sweepstakes is, how it works and what the laws say that govern it. (7:43 minutes)
