Terms and Conditions
These terms govern your use of bobfellermuseum.org (the "Site"), operated under the name Sweeps Casinos. By browsing or using the Site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site. We may update these terms from time to time; the date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
Who We Are and What We Do
Sweeps Casinos is an independent comparison and review site covering sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms available to players in the United States. We research and review platforms that operate under a promotional sweepstakes model — not traditional real-money online gambling. Our editorial team evaluates platforms based on criteria such as game variety, welcome offers, coin redemption conditions, and platform usability, then presents that research to help readers make informed choices.
We do not operate any casino, sweepstakes platform, or gaming product ourselves. We do not hold or manage player funds, process transactions, or take responsibility for any outcome that arises from your use of a third-party platform.
Commercial Relationships and Editorial Independence
Some of the platforms listed on this Site pay us a commission if a reader follows one of our links and creates an account. This is how we fund the research and editorial work behind the Site.
Commercial relationships do not determine rankings or editorial ratings. Our assessments are based on the criteria described on our best sweepstakes casinos page, and a platform cannot purchase a higher position. We may decline to list, or remove, any platform that we believe does not meet our editorial standards, regardless of any commercial arrangement.
Where we have a commercial relationship with a listed platform, that relationship is reflected in the offer cards displayed on the relevant pages. Readers should be aware that the Site earns revenue through these arrangements.
The Sweepstakes Model — What This Site Covers
Every platform reviewed on this Site uses a dual-currency promotional sweepstakes model, not real-money wagering in the traditional sense. Understanding how that model works is important before you engage with any of the platforms we cover.
- Gold Coins (GC) — a free virtual currency used purely for entertainment. Gold Coins carry no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
- Sweepstakes Coins (SC) — a promotional currency that may, subject to a platform's terms, be redeemed for prizes including gift cards or cash equivalents, once minimum thresholds and identity verification requirements are met.
- No purchase necessary — legitimate sweepstakes platforms offer a free alternative method of entry (AMOE), typically a mail-in request, meaning you do not need to buy coin packages to receive Sweepstakes Coins or participate in prize draws.
The platforms we cover are distinct from state-licensed real-money online casinos. They share similar game formats but differ in legal framework, licensing structure, promotional mechanics, and the consumer protections that apply.
Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on this Site — including platform ratings, welcome offers, coin quantities, eligible states, age requirements, and redemption conditions — is accurate at the time of publication. The fact-check date shown on each page indicates when that content was last verified.
Sweepstakes platform offers, terms, and availability change frequently. We cannot guarantee that every detail remains current between review updates. Before registering with any platform or making a purchase, always read that platform's own terms and conditions, as they are the authoritative source.
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal or financial advice. If you have questions about whether a specific platform is available in your state, or about any tax obligations arising from prize redemptions, consult the platform's terms directly and seek appropriate professional guidance.
Availability, Eligibility, and Legal Standing
Sweepstakes casinos are governed at the state level in the United States. Availability varies significantly:
- Some states permit most sweepstakes casino operators to serve residents freely.
- Other states have enacted restrictions or taken enforcement actions that cause operators to exclude those residents.
- Individual platforms also make their own decisions about which states they will serve, independent of state law.
- Laws and operator policies change frequently. Availability stated in our reviews reflects information at the time of the last fact-check and may have changed.
Most platforms require participants to be at least 18 years old. Some operators require users to be 21 or older, either across all states or in specific jurisdictions. Age requirements are set by each platform and must be verified before registration. This Site is intended solely for adults who meet the age requirements of their state and the platform they choose.
We do not make a blanket representation that any platform is legal for you to use. You are responsible for determining whether a particular platform is available and lawful in your jurisdiction.
Prize Redemptions and Tax Obligations
Redeeming Sweepstakes Coins for prizes is subject to each platform's own terms, which typically include:
- Minimum Sweepstakes Coin balances before a redemption request can be made
- Identity verification (KYC) — usually a government-issued photo ID and, in some cases, proof of address
- Processing times that vary by platform and payment method
- Geographic restrictions that may affect which redemption options are available to you
Prize redemptions may be taxable under federal and state tax rules. Players who redeem prizes are responsible for understanding and meeting any applicable tax obligations. We recommend keeping records of redemptions and consulting official IRS guidance or a tax professional if needed. Nothing on this Site constitutes tax advice.
How We Assess Platforms
Our editorial ratings reflect research conducted by the Sweeps Casinos team. We have not deposited funds into, played games on, or withdrawn from any of the platforms we cover. Our assessments are based on publicly available information, platform terms and conditions, offer structures, and independent research. We describe our process as reviewing and verifying, not testing through active play.
Editorial ratings are assigned by our team and are not customer review scores or crowd-sourced ratings. Our methodology weights factors including offer transparency, redemption clarity, game range, and platform reliability. Full detail on how platforms are assessed is available on our platform comparison page.

You may not reproduce, redistribute, or republish it without prior written permission. Platform names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are referenced here for identification purposes only.
Third-Party Links and Platform Responsibility
Links on this Site direct you to third-party platforms that operate independently of Sweeps Casinos. We are not responsible for the content, terms, availability, or practices of any external platform. Once you leave this Site, the terms and privacy policy of the destination platform apply. We encourage you to read those documents before registering or making any purchase.
Responsible Play
Sweepstakes casinos are entertainment products. While no real-money wager is placed in the traditional sense, spending real money on coin packages is possible, and the games are designed around chance. Play within your means, and treat any coin purchases as discretionary entertainment spending rather than an investment.
If you are concerned about your own play habits or those of someone you know, free and confidential support is available. Details of responsible gambling resources are on our responsible gambling page. You can also reach the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sweeps Casinos and its operators accept no liability for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential — arising from your use of this Site or from your use of any platform you access through it. This includes, without limitation, any loss arising from reliance on information that has become outdated since our last fact-check, or from any change in a platform's terms or availability.
If a specific jurisdiction does not permit the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, those exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law in that jurisdiction.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. The updated date shown at the top of this page will reflect when changes were last made. Continued use of the Site after any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you have questions about anything on this page, you are welcome to contact us through the contact page.
