The rules governing sweepstakes, contests, and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes are set up by each individual state, not by the federal government. Based on these 50 sets of laws, the Site cannot offer fee-based tournaments with prizes to residents of the following states: Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Vermont. However, this does not prohibit subscription based play for fun and Mahjong Time invites players from those states to join and participate in the 'many tournaments' that are offered that do not require entry fees. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.
