<h1>Forex broker gold giveaway at expo raises contest law, consumer protection, AML/KYC, and tax reporting (e.g., Form 1099)</h1> A forex brokerage plans to run a promotional campaign at an industry expo offering an hourly physical gold coin giveaway to visitors and a separate incentive program for introducing brokers awarding up to 1kg of gold. Legally, the initiatives implicate contest and sweepstakes laws, consumer-protection and advertising rules, tax and reporting obligations for prize winners, and anti-money-laundering/know-your-customer requirements across jurisdictions where attendees and partners are located. The firm should ensure transparent contest rules, obtain any required local permits or regulatory approvals, implement identity and fund-source checks for large prizes, and document disclosures to avoid regulatory or tax liability.
