Promotional Competitions under the Consumer Protection Act
For just over a decade, promotional competitions have been regulated by the Lotteries Act, 1997, which has been in effect since 1 March 2000. Attorneys, in-house counsel and other legal practitioners have become used to advising on the legality of promotional competitions with reference to section 54 of the Lotteries Act and the regulations promulgated under that section. But when the Consumer Protection Act, 2008 (“the CPA”) comes into force on 31 March 2010, as expected, the regulation of promotional competitions in South Africa will change significantly.
The CPA will replace the Lotteries Act’s current definition of “promotional competition”. In future, section 1 of the Lotteries Act will define a “promotional competition” as having the meaning set out in section 36 of the CPA. |
