An online gaming platform that uses a sweepstakes-style promotional model with separate entertainment and prize-play currencies instead of direct cash wagering.
Sweepstakes casinos are online gaming platforms built around a promotional sweepstakes structure rather than direct real-money wagering. Players usually use two virtual currencies: Gold Coins for entertainment play and Sweep Coins for prize-eligible play. Gold Coin packages may include promotional Sweep Coins, and most operators also provide free entry methods such as daily rewards, mail-in AMOE requests, or promotional giveaways. Prize-play availability depends on the operator's rules and the player's location, so access should always be confirmed on a state-by-state basis before registering or purchasing.
Sweepstakes casino access varies by state and by operator. Many platforms rely on sweepstakes-style promotional rules rather than traditional gambling licenses, but some states restrict or prohibit prize-play access and operators may apply additional state exclusions.
