A legal disclaimer required on all sweepstakes promotions indicating that participants can enter and win without buying anything.
"No Purchase Necessary" is a standard sweepstakes disclosure. It tells players a promotion has a way to enter without buying anything. At sweepstakes casinos, no-purchase entry is usually handled through daily logins, AMOE mail-in requests, social media promotions, or another free-entry method listed in the operator terms. If buying were the only path to participate, the promotion would create a higher legal risk.
