Sometimes, it is necessary to buy a certain number of items or exceed a minimum spending threshold to be able to compete. This purchase requirement can be implemented in various ways, such as including the entry form with the purchased product or requiring proof of purchase, like a receipt, to validate participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In France, regulations governing contests with a purchase requirement were relaxed in 2011. Previously, only games that relied on the participants&#8217; ingenuity were permitted. Consequently, organizers could not select winners through a random drawing, which was considered an illegal paid lottery at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-glossary":[331],"class_list":["post-168839","dictionnaire-dico","type-dictionnaire-dico","status-publish","hentry","categories-glossary-sales-promotion-pos-advertising"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico\/168839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-glossary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-glossary?post=168839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
