State Restrictions

Sweepstakes casino laws and promotional rules vary from state to state. That means whether you can register, receive bonus Sweeps Coins, redeem prizes, or access certain promotions often depends on where you physically are. Before you sign up or play, verify your eligibility to avoid interruptions, withheld prizes, or account holds. All offers are subject to our Terms and Conditions and state law.

States and regions that commonly restrict participation

Some states and regions restrict or prohibit participation in sweepstakes-style gaming or limit specific promotions. Promotions, bonuses, or redemption mechanics may be unavailable if you are in one of the following locations:

• Arizona
• California
• Connecticut
• Idaho
• Louisiana
• Maryland
• Michigan
• Mississippi
• Montana
• Nebraska
• Nevada
• New Jersey
• New York
• North Dakota
• Pennsylvania
• Rhode Island
• Tennessee
• Washington
• West Virginia
• Quebec, Canada

If you live in, travel through, or access our site from any of these places, certain offers and cash redemption options may be blocked. Some promotions may also have additional restrictions in other states or countries—always check the promotion-specific Terms and Conditions.

Temporary restrictions you may encounter

Regulatory changes, emergency orders, or short-term compliance updates can create temporary restrictions. Examples include:

• A state regulator issues an interim guidance that limits promotional activity.
• Our compliance team temporarily disables a bonus after discovering misuse or suspicious activity.
• A new law or clarification affects Sweeps Coin redemption or prize fulfillment.

When temporary restrictions apply, they may be limited to a single promotion, a group of accounts, or a whole state. We post updates to this page and the promotion details whenever possible.

How we verify your location

To enforce state rules and protect players, we use multiple geographic verification methods. These may include:

• IP address and geo-IP database checks.
• GPS and Wi‑Fi triangulation on mobile devices.
• Mobile carrier signals and device location services.
• Billing address on your payment method, and postal address on file.
• Two-factor verification via SMS, phone calls, or email.
• Third-party identity and location verification services.

You may be asked to provide supporting documents—such as a government ID, utility bill, or a selfie—when a verification check fails or when you request prize redemption. Attempts to bypass these systems can result in account suspension and forfeiture of prizes.

Account limits, holds, and what they mean

If we detect that you are accessing the site from a restricted jurisdiction, or if your account fails verification, actions may include:

• Blocking access to gameplay, bonuses, or promotions.
• Temporarily suspending your account pending verification.
• Placing a hold on Sweeps Coin redemptions or cashout requests.
• Closing the account in line with Terms and Conditions, which may include forfeiture of certain bonus Sweeps Coins.

If your account is limited, contact support for next steps. We review appeals and verification documents, and we provide specific guidance based on the state laws that apply.

What happens if you move or travel to a restricted location

Traveling through a restricted jurisdiction and establishing residency in one are treated differently:

• Traveling temporarily: If you visit a restricted state, you may be blocked from playing or from redeeming Sweeps Coins while physically present there. Stop playing, and contact support if you encounter access issues.
• Moving permanently: If you change your residency to a restricted state, you should update your account address right away and contact support. You may be required to redeem eligible Sweeps Coins before access or redemption is suspended, or to close your account under the Terms and Conditions.

Always notify customer support if your location changes. Failure to do so can affect prize eligibility and account standing.

How state rules affect gameplay, promotions, and Sweeps Coins

State laws and promotional restrictions can change how you play and what you can claim:

• Eligibility for welcome offers, No Deposit bonuses, and reload deals may be limited by state.
• Sweeps Coin credits and playthrough rules vary—free Sweeps Coins from bonuses typically carry a 20x playthrough requirement, while purchased Sweeps Coins often carry a 1x or 4x requirement.
• Minimum and maximum redemption rules apply—our general policy sets a $40 minimum redemption threshold, and a daily maximum redemption limit of 10,000 Sweeps Coins. For players in New York and Florida, the daily redemption limit is 5,000 Sweeps Coins.
• Certain bets or game types may not qualify for playthrough progress—qualifying play typically requires bets at or longer than -300 odds, and some game mechanics may be excluded from bonus play.
• Prize fulfillment and payment methods may be limited by law in specific states.

Read each promotion’s Terms and Conditions for state-specific rules before you play.
