(A) Definitions.
INTERNET SWEEPSTAKES ESTABLISHMENT means an establishment where customers are primarily devoted to buy time online and play video “sweepstakes” games for cash prizes or purchase internet time that allows the user to receive points or credits that are then used to play, in many instances, casino-like computer games to potentially win more points redeemable for cash and/or where customers are primarily devoted to giving donation for a product or other thing of value (i.e., phone card, internet time), which credits the customer with free points or other measurable units that may be risked by the customer for an opportunity to win money.
PRIMARILY means for the most part of a business activity engaged in by a business establishment.
