Yes — paid token competitions are available in Vermont. Here's how the skill-based, no-cash-value model works.
Short answer: Yes. VS Compete's paid token competitions are available in Vermont, alongside free play. VS Compete is a skill-based arcade — matches are decided by how you play, not by chance — and prizes are redeemed for merchandise, not cash. You can also earn tokens for free with no purchase necessary, so there's always a free way in.
Three things define the model, and together they're what keeps VS Compete a skill contest rather than gambling:
You must be 18 or older to compete in Vermont, and you'll confirm your date of birth the first time you enter.
Most rules that restrict online contests target gambling — staking money on games of chance. VS Compete is built to sit outside that: matches are decided by skill, prizes carry no cash value, and there's always a free path to enter. That combination is why the app runs the way it does in Vermont.
