What is a sweepstakes casino and how is it different from a regular online casino?

A sweepstakes casino is an online gaming platform that operates under US sweepstakes law rather than traditional gambling regulations. Players use virtual currencies — Gold Coins for entertainment and Sweeps Coins for prize-eligible play — and can never be required to purchase Sweeps Coins directly.

Which states can access these gaming platforms?

Most US states — typically 45 or more — allow residents to participate on these platforms. States that have historically been more restrictive include Washington and Idaho.

How do I get free Sweeps Coins without making a purchase?

Every legitimate platform must provide a no-purchase-necessary method of entry. The most common method is a mail-in request. Platforms also distribute free currency through social media giveaways, daily login bonuses, and promotional contests.
