If I were to hold an event in California where, I would charge people 5 dollars to come to our venue, which would allow them to play games, and also offer the option to pay an additional 5 dollars to enter a tournament where the pay out would be; 55% of tournament entry fees go to first place, 30% to second place, and 15% goes to third. Would California Business and Professions Code Section 17539.35 make that illegal? Bearing in mind it is a skill based game.
I am trying to convince my boss to let me run a tournament but he is convinced it is illegal to run a rolling prize pool.
