A legal disclaimer required on all sweepstakes promotions indicating that participants can enter and win without buying anything.
"No Purchase Necessary" is a legally required disclosure that must appear on all sweepstakes promotions in the United States. It informs participants that they can enter and potentially win prizes without making any purchase. This principle is fundamental to sweepstakes law and distinguishes legal sweepstakes from illegal lotteries (which require payment to enter). At sweepstakes casinos, "No Purchase Necessary" is enforced through free Sweep Coin distributions via daily logins, AMOE mail-in requests, and social media promotions. If a promotion required purchase as the only way to participate, it could be classified as an illegal lottery. This legal requirement is why sweepstakes casinos must always provide free entry methods.
It is a legal requirement. US sweepstakes law mandates that all sweepstakes promotions must offer a free entry method. Without this, the promotion could be classified as an illegal lottery that requires payment to participate.
A legally required free way to enter a sweepstakes promotion without making any purchase, such as a mail-in request.
