DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - October 2, 2008) - To help businesses that are launching a sweepstakes promotion avoid the confusion and hassle associated with state bonding requirements, SCA Promotions, the world's leading provider of promotional risk coverage for sweepstakes, contests, games and events, has launched Registersweeps.com, a turnkey online service that offers brands, agencies, and attorneys a fast, easy way to bond and register their sweepstakes with applicable states.

"There is a lot of ambiguity as to when a sweepstakes or game needs to be bonded, causing uncertainty and headache for brands and agencies," explains Lisa Lantz, Vice President for SCA Promotions. "With RegisterSweeps, we have taken SCA's twenty years of experience in acquiring bonds for the game of chance industry and designed a system that simplifies the process. The registration and bonding requirements for the four states that require them -- Florida, New York, Rhode Island and Arizona -- are listed on the site. We provide a complete turnkey service in which we process all the paperwork and acquire the necessary bonding on their behalf -- all in as little as a day."

RegisterSweeps' comprehensive bonding and registration services includes 1) Game of Chance surety bonds for each state; 2) completing and filing the registration forms with each state; and 3) filing the winner's list in each state after the promotion ends.

To utilize the RegisterSweeps service, brands, agencies or their legal departments would log onto the Web site, register for a free account and complete the necessary paperwork. RegisterSweeps does the rest -- including expedited registration filing for Florida and New York.

"Normally, a business would first have to research the bonding requirements for each state, purchase a game of chance surety bond, fill out the state registration form and file with each applicable state," notes Lantz. "With RegisterSweeps, we do it all for them. It is a fantastic, turnkey solution that makes the process quick, easy and accurate."
