Why registering a game rule or contest rule?
Filing of the game or competition legal rules will ensure to players, businesses or organizational entities, through the public notary's analysis and
validation of those elements:
1. A public offer
2. Hope of gain
3. Chance
4. That there is no financial participation necessary, even partial
In case of illegal settlement project or non-compliance, public notary will propose changes to the game rules so as to make them legal.

game rules or contest is sealed, as a copyright deposit.

Draw
The draw is a method of determining the winners among the participants in a game or contest and ensures that they are totally random.
There are two forms of draw:
Internal: directed by a member appointed by the organizer or program to draw, whether by urn or Excel file, the entries that are drawn at random
External: the draw is made by a public notary, so as to avoid any subsequent dispute about the random characters and impartial drawing.
We note that for lots whose unit value (specified in the mandatory regulation contest lodged with the public notary) is higher than 200 USD, the draw is
conducted by the public notary .
