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.
Regulatory Services Manager, John Sneyd says it's taken seriously.
"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."
