Corrections Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

At SweepState, we strive to provide the most accurate, up-to-date information about sweepstakes casinos. However, we recognize that errors can occur, and the gaming industry evolves rapidly. When mistakes happen or information becomes outdated, we are committed to correcting it promptly and transparently.

This page outlines our approach to corrections, updates, and maintaining the integrity of our content.

How to Report an Error

If you notice inaccurate information on our site, we encourage you to let us know. You can report errors through:

• Email: corrections@sweepstate.com
• Contact Form: Submit via our contact page

When reporting an error, please include:

• The URL of the page containing the error
• A description of what is incorrect
• The correct information (if known) with sources
• Your contact information (optional, for follow-up questions)

Our Correction Process

When we receive an error report or discover inaccurate information, we follow a systematic process:

1. Verification

Our editorial team investigates the reported issue, cross-referencing with official casino sources, terms and conditions, and our own testing data.

2. Correction

Once verified, we update the content with accurate information. For significant errors, we add a correction notice explaining what changed.

3. Documentation

We update the "Last Updated" date on affected pages and, for major corrections, may note the change in our internal logs.

4. Response

If you provided contact information, we'll let you know when the correction has been made.

Types of Updates

Factual Corrections

Errors in facts such as bonus amounts, payment methods, processing times, or state availability. These are corrected immediately upon verification.

Routine Updates

Casinos frequently update their bonuses, promotions, and terms. We review pages on a rolling basis and update them after we verify material changes to offers, payment methods, platform policies, or state availability.

Rating Adjustments

When casinos improve or decline in service quality, we adjust their Ratings based on our review methodology. Score changes are reflected immediately.

Editorial Clarifications

Sometimes content is accurate but could be clearer. We may update wording to improve understanding without changing the substantive information.

Transparency Standards

We maintain transparency in our correction process by:

• Displaying "Last Updated" dates on all review pages so readers know when content was last verified
• Never deleting content to hide past errors - we correct and update in place
• Maintaining our editorial independence - corrections are made based on accuracy, not advertiser pressure
• Explaining significant changes when they affect a casino's Rating or overall recommendation

Logged corrections

• July 22, 2026: Changed Wyoming from available/low-risk to RESTRICTED and added the Gaming Commission warning, the fully attributed player-offense position, and SF 44's July 1, 2026 effective date. (A signed review of current primary sources contradicted the former hands-off and all-operators claims.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Minnesota from available to RESTRICTED, attributed the Attorney General's dual-currency theory as contested, added both enforcement-letter rounds, and corrected the 2026 bill history. (Current official enforcement and Revisor records displaced the former legal and obsolete-bill claims.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Arizona to CONDITIONAL, quoted the Department of Gaming's equal free-participation standard, and bounded the 2025 and 2026 enforcement context. (Primary regulator materials contradicted the former tolerant/no-enforcement framing.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Vermont to CONDITIONAL and replaced the does-not-address claim with § 2143b's enacted no-consideration condition. (The current statute requires product-specific confirmation and does not support a generic all-operators claim.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Alabama to UNCERTAIN, removed the false 2024-lottery and no-online-enforcement claims, and added the 2017 Redibids cease-and-desist record. (Current official sources contradicted the former lottery and enforcement summary.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Alaska to UNCERTAIN and replaced the not-addressed framing with AS 11.66's broad unlawful-gambling and something-of-value provisions. (The official Title 11 compilation did not support the former affirmative legal conclusion.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Arkansas to UNCERTAIN and added HB 1861's proposed dual-currency prohibition, withdrawal, and interim-study history. (The failed measure supplies risk context but no operative safe harbor or prohibition.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Colorado to UNCERTAIN and added SB 26-163's premises-based unlicensed-gaming authority with its August 12, 2026 effective date and limited scope. (The enacted measure could not be treated as an early or product-specific classification.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Georgia to UNCERTAIN, corrected the legal-gaming overview, and confined Attorney General Opinion 96-18 to its stated lottery test. (Official sources did not support a lawful-avenue conclusion for every dual-currency model.)
• July 22, 2026: Retained Hawaii's restrictive posture while correcting Part III and § 712-1231, and adding SB 3281 with an explicit no-enactment caveat. (The former chapter and no-exemptions statements were materially inaccurate.)
• July 22, 2026: Retained Idaho as RESTRICTED while separating enacted gambling text from SweepState's model-application inference and removing unsupported availability assertions. (Primary-source facts and editorial conclusions must remain distinctly attributed.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Kansas to UNCERTAIN, removed a nonexistent exemption, and added § 21-6403's promoter-advantage and participant-disadvantage consideration definition. (The official Revisor text contradicted the former affirmative legal claim.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Missouri to UNCERTAIN and added the Gaming Commission's online-casino alert while limiting it to the fraudulent-site context actually stated. (The alert displaced the former no-restrictions conclusion but was not a model-wide adjudication.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Nebraska to UNCERTAIN, corrected § 28-1101's prize-contest exclusion, and bounded LB 1001 as non-model-specific. (The statute requires award value independent of chance and does not create the former no-consideration safe harbor.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed New Hampshire to UNCERTAIN and distinguished RSA 647:2's general gambling definition from its machine- and establishment-limited sweepstakes definition. (The interaction of those provisions did not support the former no-consideration inference.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed New Mexico to UNCERTAIN, replaced broken statute links, presented both sides of Gaming Control Board guidance, and bounded the Kalshi action as nonanalogous context. (The current primary record did not support legal/no-restrictions language.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed North Carolina to UNCERTAIN and corrected the physical-only claim using § 14-306.4 and the Gift Surplus kiosk decision. (The statute expressly reaches specified server-based, sponsor-controlled devices with or without consideration, while remote application remains open.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed North Dakota to UNCERTAIN, added the authorization-required framework, and identified the July 1, 2026 rules as non-model-specific. (Current official materials did not support categorical legality.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Oregon to UNCERTAIN, led with Formal Attorney General Opinion 8297, and removed the former permissive/no-guidance conclusion. (The 2025 formal opinion states traditional casino games remain gambling when conducted online.)
• July 22, 2026: Retained Pennsylvania as UNCERTAIN while correcting Chapter 59, separating § 5513(a.1)'s monitor rule from remote analysis, and limiting licensed interactive gaming to certificate holders. (The former citations and adjacent skill-game discussion overstated what the primary authorities resolved.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Rhode Island to UNCERTAIN, added § 11-19-1's broad framework and the pending prediction-market suit, and recorded H 7197 as non-enacted. (Current official sources contradicted the former no-regulatory-action and all-operators claims.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed South Carolina to UNCERTAIN and replaced legality-from-silence with the broad lottery/wager provisions and the electronic-device-excluding social-game exception. (No model-specific prohibition could not be treated as affirmative legality.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed South Dakota to UNCERTAIN and added Chapter 22-25A's Internet-wager rules and § 22-25-24's lottery definition. (The express Internet-gambling provisions contradicted the former no-restriction and all-operators claims.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed West Virginia to UNCERTAIN, corrected the Interactive Wagering Act from Article 29-22D to 29-22E, and added the licensed-only framework and unauthorized-operation penalties. (Licensed iGaming does not authorize a separate product by implication, and model-specific wager application remains open.)
• July 22, 2026: Changed Wisconsin to UNCERTAIN and replaced the blanket no-purchase theory with § 945.01(5)(b)'s conditions and bounded Quick Charge and JD Prime machine authority. (A free route is not an operator-wide safe harbor, and the physical-machine cases do not directly adjudicate remote dual-currency products.)
• July 21, 2026: Changed Kentucky from affirmatively legal to UNCERTAIN, added the pending VGW litigation and its four pleaded counts, and corrected KRS 528.010 from superseded id=55828 to current id=58126. (The official invalid-statute page pointed to current id=58126, whose fetched title and definitions confirm KRS 528.010. The filed complaint contradicts the former legal/no-restrictions claims.)
• July 21, 2026: Retained Texas as UNCERTAIN, replaced the nonofficial Penal Code source, clarified Chapter 622's mail-only scope, and retired SB 517, SJR 82, and HJR 137 as dead 89R measures. (Validated scraper-service fetches resolved all previously blocked official documents and showed that the former tracker and Chapter 622 description were stale.)
• June 12, 2026: Rewrote the templated sections on state pages that stated fabricated statewide specifics, such as fixed Gold Coin ranges, game RTP ranges, and studio lists. Those sections now point readers to the operator cards and reviews above them instead of making one promise for a whole state. (The statewide figures were template boilerplate, not verified per-state facts. We reframed the bonus, games, mobile, and support sections as guidance on choosing a casino and on account security.)
• June 5, 2026: Corrected rating figures shown inside casino review fact text. A display step had been rewriting any rating quoted as a value out of 5 or out of 10 into our own index score, so some reviews showed a rating that did not match the original sourced number. (Found during a compliance review. We removed the display step so review text now shows the original sourced rating, and added an automated build check that fails when a rendered rating no longer matches its source. No stored records were changed.)

Response Time

We review reported errors promptly and correct pages after we verify the issue. Some reports can be resolved quickly, while others require additional source checks, account testing, or follow-up with the operator before we revise the page.
