Could your FIFA office sweepstake be illegal?

The Department of Internal Affairs says prize money can't exceed $500 and sweepstake organisers shouldn't profit from entries.

Illegal gambling operations could land a person an up-to-$20,000 fine.

"Office sweepstakes can be fun, but we've just got to make sure we keep it within the boundaries that keep it as a fun activity."
