We based the requirements off the Open Philanthropy Cause Exploration Prize’s official rules—see the full legal terms linked to here (https://​​www.causeexplorationprizes.com/​​rules-faqs) - and changed them only when necessary. Then it was vetted by the lawyer at CEARCH’s fiscal sponsor.
I can’t speak for the lawyers, but my presumption as a non-expert is that there are good legal reasons for the various clauses. For example, the prohibited-by-law stuff is obvious enough; and I imagine the access-to-internet-clause is ensure no administrative difficulties with contacting winners after the fact and getting the details needed to wire them their money.
