A legally required free way to enter a sweepstakes promotion without making any purchase, such as a mail-in request.
Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) is the free-entry path used in sweepstakes promotions. At sweepstakes casinos, AMOE often comes as mail-in requests. Players send a handwritten request to get free Sweep Coins. Some sites also count daily login bonuses and social media giveaways as alternative entry methods. AMOE is central to the no-purchase model, but each operator sets its own instructions and limits in its terms of service.
