Sweepstakes Rules

These Sweepstakes Rules explain how sweepstakes-style play works at Sweep'NStake Casino, including who can participate, how Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins function, how to enter for free, and what you must do to redeem eligible prizes.

Sweep'NStake is a social gaming platform that uses two virtual currencies:

• Gold Coins are for entertainment play only and have no cash value.
• Sweeps Coins are promotional entries that can be used on eligible sweepstakes games and may be redeemable for cash prizes or gift cards where permitted by law.

No purchase is necessary to enter or participate. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning.

Eligibility Basics: Who Can Register and Play?

To create an account and participate, you must meet all eligibility requirements below.

You must:

• Be at least 18 years old, or the legal age required in your location for sweepstakes promotions, whichever is higher.
• Provide accurate, complete, and truthful personal information at registration and throughout your account lifetime.
• Be physically located in a jurisdiction where sweepstakes-style social gaming and prize redemptions are permitted at the time of play and at the time of redemption.
• Maintain only one account per person. In many cases, one account per household may also apply unless a specific promotion clearly states otherwise.

If Sweep'NStake reasonably believes you are not eligible, it may restrict your account, withhold promotional rewards, and deny or reverse redemptions, as allowed by law.

Age Restrictions: Why Identity Checks Matter

Sweep'NStake may request proof of age at registration, during gameplay, or before approving any redemption. If you cannot verify that you meet the minimum age requirement, your account may be suspended, and any pending redemption may be canceled.

To protect players and the integrity of promotions, Sweep'NStake may also block access if your age information appears inconsistent, incomplete, or unverifiable.

Geographic Limitations: Where Sweep'NStake Is Not Available

Sweep'NStake is available only where permitted. Availability can change based on legal, regulatory, payment, fraud, and operational requirements.

Players from the following locations are typically restricted from registering, purchasing Gold Coin packages, using Sweeps Coins, or redeeming prizes:

Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia.

Even if you can access the website, Sweep'NStake may still block purchases, Sweeps Coin gameplay, or redemptions if your location is restricted or cannot be verified.

Location masking is not allowed. Using a virtual private network, proxy server, geolocation spoofing, false address details, or any similar method to appear eligible may lead to immediate disqualification and account closure.

Account Registration Rules: One Real Person, One Real Account

Your Sweep'NStake account is intended for your personal use only. Registration and account access must follow these rules:

• One account per person, with no duplicate, backup, or “secondary” accounts.
• You must use your legal name and your own contact details.
• You cannot share accounts, sell accounts, or transfer accounts.
• You cannot transfer, sell, or trade Gold Coins, Sweeps Coins, promotional credits, prizes, or redemption value to or with other players.

If Sweep'NStake detects multiple accounts linked to the same person, household, device fingerprint, payment method, email patterns, mailing address, or other identifiers, it may close accounts, remove bonuses, and void redemptions.

Understanding the Two Currencies: Gold Coins vs Sweeps Coins

Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins are different, and the rules for each are not the same.

Gold Coins:

• Are used for social gameplay only.
• Have no cash value.
• Cannot be redeemed for cash, prizes, or gift cards.
• Cannot be sold or transferred.
• May be awarded through purchases, daily bonuses, promotions, giveaways, or events.
• May expire after extended inactivity, depending on the current terms.

Sweeps Coins:

• Are promotional sweepstakes entries and are not sold directly.
• Can be used only on eligible sweepstakes games.
• Can be obtained for free through legitimate free methods of entry.
• May be included as a free promotional bonus with selected Gold Coin packages.
• Typically must be played at least once before they become eligible for redemption.
• May expire after extended inactivity, depending on the current terms.
• Can be redeemed only where permitted by law and only after required verification.

How to Get Sweeps Coins: Free Methods of Entry and Other Options

You can obtain Sweeps Coins without making a purchase. Free methods are a key part of sweepstakes compliance, and they are available to eligible players.

Common ways to receive Sweeps Coins include:

• Free welcome offers for new eligible accounts (registration required).
• Daily login rewards and streak bonuses.
• Promotional giveaways, including limited-time drops and social media promotions.
• Mail-in requests (alternative method of entry), when available and properly submitted.
• Referral promotions, when offered and completed without abuse.
• Account verification rewards, where offered.
• Promotional Sweeps Coins included for free with selected Gold Coin packages (Sweeps Coins are still promotional and not directly purchased).

Important: If a promotion has a claim limit, an expiration window, a play requirement, or location restrictions, those terms apply even when the Sweeps Coins are free.

Mail-In Sweeps Coin Requests: The Alternative Method of Entry

Eligible players may request free Sweeps Coins by mail when the mail-in option is available. This option is designed as an alternative method of entry and does not require a purchase.

Typical mail-in requirements include:

• One request per envelope.
• A handwritten request (no copying, printing, or automated generation).
• Complete and accurate account details and required statements.
• Submission from an eligible location.

Requests that are incomplete, duplicated, mechanically reproduced, suspicious, or inconsistent with account information may be rejected. Sweep'NStake may also limit mail-in frequency, review requests for compliance, and deny credits tied to fraud signals.

How Promotions Work: What “Bonus” Really Means

Sweep'NStake promotions may include welcome bonuses, daily streaks, limited-time deals, verification rewards, referral offers, tournaments, creditback programs, and VIP perks. Promotions can change at any time, and each offer may have its own rules.

In general:

• Promotions are available only to eligible players, in eligible locations.
• No purchase is necessary, and purchases do not improve odds.
• Promotions may have start and end dates, limited quantities, and per-player claim limits.
• Promotional rewards are not transferable and have no resale value.
• Sweep'NStake may substitute, modify, pause, or end a promotion when permitted.

If there is a conflict between these general rules and a specific promotion’s terms, the specific promotion terms typically control.

Sweepstakes Gameplay Rules: Using Sweeps Coins Fairly

When you use Sweeps Coins, you are participating in promotional sweepstakes gameplay on eligible games. To keep gameplay fair and compliant:

• You must play only from an eligible jurisdiction.
• You must not use automated play tools, scripts, bots, auto-clickers, or any software that plays for you.
• You must not collude with other players or coordinate play to exploit promotions.
• You must not manipulate game outcomes, bonuses, or leaderboards.
• You must follow any play requirements tied to bonus Sweeps Coins before attempting redemption.

Sweep'NStake may monitor gameplay patterns for signs of automation, abuse, or fraud. If suspicious activity is detected, it may restrict play, remove promotional credits, or place a hold on redemptions pending review.

Prize Redemptions Made Simple: Requirements and Limits

If you have eligible Sweeps Coins, you may be able to redeem them for cash prizes or gift cards where permitted by law. Redemption is not automatic and depends on eligibility and verification.

Typical redemption requirements include:

• Meeting the minimum age requirement.
• Being physically located in an eligible jurisdiction at redemption time.
• Successfully completing identity and location verification.
• Satisfying any required playthrough for Sweeps Coins (often “play at least once”).
• Meeting minimum redemption thresholds.
• Keeping your account in good standing.

Example redemption limits may include:

• Minimum redemption of 50 Sweeps Coins for cash.
• Minimum of 25 Sweeps Coins for gift cards.
• Maximum daily redemptions up to 5,000 Sweeps Coins.
• Maximum monthly redemptions up to 10,000 Sweeps Coins.

Limits can vary by player status, verification level, payment risk, and legal requirements. Sweep'NStake may also delay, review, or deny redemptions connected to compliance checks or suspicious activity.

Account Verification: What You May Need to Provide

Verification helps confirm that Sweep'NStake can legally award and process redemptions and that the account belongs to a real, eligible person.

You may be asked to provide:

• Proof of identity, such as a government-issued identification document.
• Proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement.
• Location verification, which may include device-based location checks.
• Payment verification, if you used a payment method for Gold Coin packages.

Your details must match your account information. If documents are expired, unclear, altered, or inconsistent, verification may fail, and redemption may be delayed or denied.

Payments and Purchases: What Buying Gold Coins Does and Does Not Mean

Sweep'NStake may offer Gold Coin packages for purchase using common payment methods such as Apple Pay, MasterCard, and Visa. Gold Coin purchases are for entertainment value and do not purchase Sweeps Coins directly.

Key points to understand:

• Sweeps Coins, when offered with a package, are provided as a free promotional bonus.
• Purchasing does not improve your chance of winning.
• Purchases are typically final unless consumer protection laws require otherwise.
• Chargebacks and payment disputes may trigger account restrictions while the matter is investigated.

Prohibited Activities: Actions That Can Get You Suspended or Disqualified

Sweep'NStake may suspend, restrict, or close accounts, and it may void promotional credits or redemptions, if it detects prohibited behavior. Prohibited activities typically include:

• Creating or using multiple accounts.
• Using fake names, false addresses, or inaccurate personal details.
• Accessing from restricted locations or using tools to hide your location.
• Bonus abuse, including exploiting promotions in unintended ways.
• Referral abuse, including self-referrals, fake referrals, or coordinated referral rings.
• Automated gameplay, bots, scripts, or any non-human play pattern.
• Collusion, chip-dumping, or coordinated manipulation in competitions or events.
• Attempting to sell, transfer, or exchange coins, accounts, bonuses, or prizes.
• Payment fraud, stolen payment methods, or repeated chargebacks.
• Harassment of staff or abuse of support systems.

If prohibited activity is suspected, Sweep'NStake may place a hold on your account while it reviews activity logs, device data, location signals, and payment records.

Fraud Prevention and Security Holds: Why Reviews Happen

To protect players and comply with legal requirements, Sweep'NStake may use automated and manual reviews that look for unusual patterns, including:

• Mismatched location data.
• Multiple accounts tied to the same device or household.
• High-risk payment behavior or repeated failed transactions.
• Bonus claim patterns that look automated or coordinated.
• Redemption activity that doesn’t align with typical play.

A review can lead to delays in bonus approval or redemption processing. In serious cases, it can lead to disqualification, prize forfeiture, or permanent account closure, especially when intentional deception is involved.

When Redemptions Can Be Denied or Reversed

Sweep'NStake may deny, cancel, or reverse a redemption request when permitted by law, including if:

• You fail identity, age, or location verification.
• You are in a restricted jurisdiction at the time of redemption.
• Your account information is inaccurate or cannot be verified.
• The redemption is linked to multiple accounts, bonus abuse, or prohibited conduct.
• There is an open payment dispute or chargeback connected to the account.
• Required play conditions for promotional Sweeps Coins were not completed.
• The account is under investigation for fraud, automation, or collusion.

If a redemption is denied, Sweep'NStake may provide instructions for next steps when appropriate, such as resubmitting clearer documents or correcting account details.

Responsible Play and Account Controls

Sweep'NStake is designed for entertainment. If gameplay stops being fun, it’s a good idea to pause and use available tools. Depending on what’s offered in your account settings, you may be able to request limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion, closure, and promotional opt-outs.
