Check your promotion

Is your promotion a prize competition?

Five questions, and a plain read on whether what you’re planning has a chance element — the thing Kenya’s gambling law turns on.

  1. 1Does every customer who takes part get a reward?Everyone who buys and sends their code, not everyone who enters a draw.
  2. 2Is the reward an amount you set before the promotion starts?A set KES 20, rather than an amount decided at the moment of the scan.
  3. 3Is there a draw, a jackpot, or a handful of big prizes?Including a weekly grand prize alongside smaller instant ones.
  4. 4Will you announce winners?If there is a winners’ list, there is a list of people who lost.
  5. 5Will it run in more than one county?The Act singles out media promotions that run across several counties.
