State Restrictions

Sweepstakes casino laws and regulations vary widely across the United States. Some states allow sweepstakes-style gaming with few restrictions, others impose limits on prizes, play methods, or age, and a few prohibit certain sweepstakes mechanics altogether. That means a game or promotion that’s available in one state may be blocked for players in another. Always verify eligibility before registering or playing to avoid account issues, interrupted play, or delays in prize redemption.

Which states are currently eligible and which are restricted

Our promotions and many gameplay features are available throughout most of the United States, but some states restrict or prohibit participation in sweepstakes offers. At this time, promotional participation and prize redemption for the welcome and regular bonuses are not available to residents of Idaho, Michigan, and Washington. Eligibility for gameplay itself may still vary by state due to local laws.

Keep in mind:

• Gold Coins are for fun play only and are non-redeemable.
• Sweeps Coins are redeemable for prizes after a 1x playthrough and a minimum of 50 Sweeps Coins for cashout.
• All offers are void where prohibited by law, and players must be 18 years or older to participate.

If you’re unsure about your state, check the verification steps below before you register.

Temporary restrictions and when they apply

States may impose temporary restrictions for several reasons:

• New or updated legislation that changes sweepstakes or prize rules.
• Regulatory reviews or compliance reviews initiated by state authorities.
• Platform maintenance, licensing transitions, or software updates that limit access from certain states.
• Fraud prevention or suspected abuse affecting specific accounts or regions.

Temporary restrictions may affect eligibility for promotions, access to certain games, or the ability to redeem Sweeps Coins. We notify affected players by email and through account messages whenever possible, and we post updates in our FAQ.

How geographic verification works — what we check and why

To comply with state laws, we use several geo-verification technologies that may include:

• IP address checks to determine your approximate location.
• GPS and device-based location services on mobile devices for precise confirmation.
• Wi‑Fi network and cell-tower triangulation when available.
• Billing address on payment methods and postal address provided during account setup.
• Third-party verification services and identity checks for prize redemption.

These tools help ensure you are physically located in an eligible jurisdiction when you register, play for Sweeps Coins, opt into promotions, or request prize redemption. If verification fails or indicates you are in a restricted state, access to promotions, Sweeps Coin play, or redemption may be paused or denied.

Account limitations you may encounter

If you are located in a restricted jurisdiction, or if verification cannot confirm your eligibility, you may see one or more of the following limits:

• Inability to opt into or receive sweepstakes promotions.
• Locked Sweeps Coin balances until eligibility is confirmed.
• Suspension of prize redemption requests.
• Restrictions on certain game types that are limited by state rules.
• Temporary or permanent account suspension for violations or bonus abuse.

We apply account limitations to comply with law and to protect players. Cases of suspected bonus abuse, shared accounts, or falsified location information can lead to removal from promotions or account closure.

Moving or traveling — what changes when your location changes

If you move to or travel through a restricted jurisdiction, your eligibility for promotions and Sweeps Coin gameplay may change immediately. Common outcomes include:

• Automatic pause of promotional bonuses and Sweeps Coin play while in the restricted area.
• Temporary hold on prize redemption until you return to an eligible state and pass geo-verification.
• Requirement to update your account address and provide identity documentation if you establish residency in a new state.

If you plan to relocate, notify customer support so we can advise on your account status and any steps needed to redeem outstanding Sweeps Coins or prize requests.

How state rules affect gameplay, promotions, and prize redemption

State-specific regulation can influence:

• Which promotions you can claim — some bonuses may be disabled for players in certain states.
• Sweeps Coin issuance and redemption — minimum cashout thresholds, playthrough requirements, or verification steps.
• Availability of specific game types — live dealer games, certain slots, or jackpot features may be limited.
• Timing and method of prize fulfillment — some states require additional identity checks, longer processing times, or specific payout options.

For example, Sweeps Coins require a 1x playthrough before cashout and a minimum balance of 50 Sweeps Coins to request redemption. Gold Coins remain non-redeemable fun play currency regardless of state.
