Sweepstakes, Contests, and Giveaway Laws in Estonia

Promotions in Estonia: rules

In Estonia, prize promotions and gifts with purchase are subject to several laws and regulations, knowledge of which is essential to organise a promotion.

In Estonia, both lotteries and competitions are allowed, but both are subject to various restrictions and requirements depending on the mechanics, the prize pool and other factors. In some cases, a special permit from the relevant authorities is necessary and in other, the prior opinion of the authorities is all that is needed. Furthermore, depending on the mechanics, either the promoter or the winner will be subject to tax.
