Terms and Conditions – Sweepstakes

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using Sweepstakes (getyourbigon.com). By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree, you should not use this site.

1. About This Website

Sweepstakes is an independent comparison and review website focused on sweepstakes casinos and social casinos available to players in the United States. We do not operate any sweepstakes casino, social casino or gaming service ourselves. Every platform listed here is operated by an independent third party, and any participation you choose to make is solely between you and that operator.

Our editorial team researches and reviews platforms using publicly available information, operator terms, and direct verification of offer conditions. We do not purchase coin packages, play through bonuses, or test withdrawal pipelines on your behalf — our assessments reflect our independent analysis, not personal play-test results.

2. Affiliate and Commercial Disclosure

Sweepstakes earns revenue through affiliate relationships with some of the platforms featured on this site. When you follow a link from our pages and subsequently create an account or make a purchase, we may receive a commission. This commission is paid by the operator and does not create any additional cost to you.

Commercial relationships do not determine rankings, ratings or editorial conclusions. Our sweepstakes casino reviews and rankings are based on independently assessed criteria including game range, welcome offers, redemption conditions and responsible play resources. A platform that pays a higher commission rate does not automatically receive a higher editorial rating or a better position in our lists.

3. Nature of Sweepstakes Casinos

The platforms featured on Sweepstakes operate under a promotional sweepstakes model, not traditional real-money gambling. This is an important legal and practical distinction:

Gold Coins (or equivalent): Virtual currency used for entertainment play only. Gold Coins have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes or cash.
Sweepstakes Coins (or equivalent): A separate promotional currency that may, subject to a platform's terms, be redeemed for prizes. Sweepstakes Coins are typically awarded free as part of a promotion — purchasing Gold Coins is not the only way to receive them.
No purchase necessary: Legitimate sweepstakes casinos are required to offer an alternative method of entry (AMOE) that does not require any purchase. This is a core feature of the sweepstakes model in the United States.

Sweepstakes does not describe any listed platform as a real-money casino. Outcomes in sweepstakes casino games involve chance, and prize redemption is subject to each operator's individual terms, verification requirements and geographic restrictions.

4. Eligibility and State Availability

Sweepstakes casinos are not available in every US state. Availability is determined at the state level, and laws governing sweepstakes promotions change frequently. Operators also make their own decisions about which states they serve, independent of broader legal questions.

Before creating an account with any platform listed on this site, you are responsible for checking:

Whether the operator accepts registrations from your state of residence.
Whether your state has any law, regulation or enforcement position that affects participation.
Whether any eligibility conditions — including state exclusions — have changed since we last reviewed the platform.

Sweepstakes cannot confirm that any specific platform is legally available to you. We encourage you to review the operator's terms directly and, where you have legal questions about your specific circumstances, to seek independent advice.

Age requirements: Most sweepstakes casinos require participants to be at least 18 years of age. Some platforms set the minimum age at 21, either across all states or in states where a higher threshold applies under local law or company policy. By using this site, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement set by any platform you choose to visit. This website is intended for adults only.

5. Accuracy of Information

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information on Sweepstakes is accurate at the time of publication. Welcome offers, coin bonuses, redemption thresholds, accepted payment methods and eligibility rules are subject to change by operators without notice. The information on this site may not reflect the most current terms.

We strongly recommend that you:

Verify any offer or promotion directly on the operator's website before signing up or making a purchase.
Read the operator's own terms and conditions in full, including any wagering requirements, minimum redemption amounts and identity verification obligations.
Check the operator's current list of excluded states before registering.

The editorial ratings and assessments published on this site represent our independent opinion at the time of review. They are not customer review scores, real-time rankings or endorsements of any guaranteed outcome.

6. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Nothing on Sweepstakes constitutes a promise, prediction or guarantee of any prize, redemption or financial outcome. Sweepstakes casino games involve chance. Sweepstakes Coins accumulated through play may or may not result in a redemption, depending on game outcomes, operator terms and eligibility conditions. We do not guarantee that Sweepstakes Coins will be redeemable, or that any redemption will be processed in a specific timeframe.

7. Prize Redemption and Tax Obligations

Where a sweepstakes casino platform permits redemption of Sweepstakes Coins for prizes, redemptions are subject to the operator's individual terms. These typically include:

A minimum redemption threshold (commonly a specified number of Sweepstakes Coins before a request can be submitted).
Identity verification (KYC): most reputable platforms require a government-issued photo ID and may request proof of address before processing a redemption.
Processing times that vary by platform and payment method.
Geographic restrictions that may prevent redemption from certain states.

Prize redemptions may be subject to federal and state tax obligations. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances, the nature and value of the prize, and the laws of your state. Sweepstakes does not provide tax advice. If you receive a redemption of meaningful value, you may wish to consult a qualified tax professional or refer to IRS guidance on taxable prizes.

8. Payment Methods

Information about accepted payment methods — including ACH bank transfers, online payment services and gift card options — is provided as general guidance based on our research of each platform. Payment method availability, processing times and any associated fees are set by the individual operator and may differ from what is described on this site. Always confirm current payment options directly with the operator before initiating a transaction.

9. Responsible Play

Sweepstakes is committed to promoting awareness of responsible play. While sweepstakes casinos do not involve traditional real-money wagering, the entertainment format shares characteristics with casino-style gaming, and it is possible to spend real money purchasing virtual coin packages. We encourage all users to set personal limits and to play within their means.
