Sweepstakes Rules

SweepShark Casino sweepstakes are available to individuals who meet the eligibility criteria below. You must be a natural person, at least 18 years old, and legally permitted to participate in sweepstakes where you reside. If your state or local law sets a higher minimum age for sweepstakes participation, you must meet that higher age requirement.

Accounts registered for, or used by, corporations, groups, or third parties are not permitted. Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of the operator and its affiliates may be excluded from certain promotions. All participation is subject to the full terms and conditions and any event-specific rules.

Where you can play — geographic limits and exclusions

SweepShark Casino operates sweepstakes for residents of the United States only. The platform, promotions, and prize redemptions are not available to residents of the following states: Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Connecticut, Delaware, West Virginia, New York, Louisiana, and Rhode Island. Residents of other states are eligible, provided local law permits participation.

Geolocation controls are used to verify your location at registration and when you play. If you are located in a restricted state, you will not be able to use the service or receive prizes. Mail-in requests must originate from a state where SweepShark is permitted to operate.

How to register and verify your account

Create an account with a valid email address and a single, unique user profile. During registration you will be asked to provide personal details, and certain promotions credit additional Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins after verification steps are completed.

Verification may include one or more of the following:

• Email confirmation.
• Mobile phone verification via SMS.
• Government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID).
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or similar).
• A selfie or live photo for facial-match verification.
• Payment method validation for purchases.

Some bonuses and redemptions require full account verification before eligibility. If verification documents are incomplete or inconsistent, prize redemptions may be delayed, withheld, or forfeited until satisfactory documentation is provided.

How to get Sweeps Coins — free and paid options

Sweeps Coins (SC) are the sweepstakes currency used to enter sweepstakes-style gameplay and to redeem qualifying prizes. You can obtain Sweeps Coins both for free and by making optional purchases of Gold Coins (GC) or bundle offers. Common methods include:

• Free methods

  • Welcome and registration credits that are automatically added after required verification steps.
  • Daily Catch login credits — small amounts of Sweeps Coins credited for consistent daily logins.
  • Mail-in (AMOE) requests — one Sweeps Coin per compliant handwritten mail-in request, with no cap, when mailed from an eligible state and including the required account request code and return postage.
  • Free-entry tournaments and challenges that award Sweeps Coins without a purchase.
  • Event-specific promotions and no-purchase entries where offered.

• Paid methods

  • Gold Coin purchases and bundle offers that may include bonus Sweeps Coins.
  • Deposit-based welcome or first-purchase bonuses that provide Sweeps Coins tied to qualifying purchases.

All Sweeps Coin awards, whether free or paid, are governed by the platform’s terms. Many promotions credit coins automatically, and no promo code may be required. Check specific promotion rules for eligibility windows, opt-in requirements, and expiration dates.

No purchase is necessary to obtain Sweeps Coins or to enter sweepstakes promotions where a no-purchase method is provided, including mail-in requests and other free-entry channels described in promotion rules.

How sweepstakes promotions operate

Sweepstakes promotions use Sweeps Coins as the entry currency. Typical mechanics include:

• Games played with Sweeps Coins count toward sweepstakes entries and prize eligibility.
• Event rules will state whether a promotion is free to enter, requires a purchase, or offers both no-purchase and purchase paths.
• Many bonuses and promotions are credited automatically after the action required (registration, verification, or purchase) and may not require an opt-in.
• Tournaments and slot races often permit free entry using Sweeps Coins, with leaderboards or point systems determining winners.
• Promotions may include time limits, daily caps, playthrough requirements, and maximum prize redemptions — read each promotion’s terms carefully.

SweepShark’s general promotion policy includes a 1x playthrough requirement on Sweeps Coins before they are eligible for redemption.

Prize redemption, wagering, and payout limits

Redemptions of Sweeps Coins are subject to wagering, minimums, and caps:

• Wagering: All Sweeps Coins must be played through a minimum of 1x before they become eligible for redemption.
• Minimum redemptions: 25 SC for gift cards, 100 SC for cash prize redemptions.

• Redemption caps tied to purchase history:

  • Spend $100 or less — $100 redemption cap.
  • Spend $100–$300 — $250 redemption cap.
  • Spend $300–$600 — $500 redemption cap.
  • Spend $600+ — $1,000 redemption cap.
• Redemption unlock: Redemptions for cash prizes require at least one prior purchase of Gold Coins before cash redemptions are available. Free-entry prizes and some promotional redemptions may still be available without a purchase; confirm eligibility in the specific promotion terms.
• State-specific limits: Florida residents have a reduced daily Sweeps Coin redemption cap of 5,000 SC, compared with the standard 10,000 SC daily cap in other eligible states.

Payouts are processed after verification and approval. Withdrawals and redemptions are subject to identity checks, anti-fraud screening, and any applicable tax reporting requirements. Processing times, payout methods, and cash-equivalent value will be stated in redemption confirmations.

Account security, fraud prevention, and prohibited conduct

To protect players and the integrity of promotions, SweepShark enforces strict rules and monitoring. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Creating, using, or attempting to use multiple accounts to claim the same promotion.
• Colluding with other players, using bots, scripts, or automated systems.
• Using stolen, falsified, or altered identification or payment information.
• Chargebacks, payment reversals, or disputing legitimate purchases to recover funds tied to promotions.
• Abusing glitches, exploiting software bugs, or intentionally manipulating games to obtain an unfair advantage.
• Sharing accounts, selling or transferring Sweeps Coins, or engaging in reselling of prizes.
• Making mail-in requests that do not meet the posted requirements.

Fraud prevention measures include geolocation checks, device fingerprinting, IP monitoring, velocity checks, transaction profiling, and manual review. SweepShark reserves the right to suspend accounts, seize funds, withhold prizes, or refer matters to authorities if fraud, abuse, or criminal activity is suspected.

When accounts may be suspended, restricted, or disqualified

Accounts may be temporarily restricted, suspended, or permanently closed for reasons including:

• Failure to complete identity or account verification within requested timeframes.
• Evidence of fraudulent activity, abuse, or circumvention of promotional rules.
• Violation of these sweepstakes rules, the general terms and conditions, or event-specific rules.
• Activity from a prohibited location, including attempts to mask or falsify geolocation.
• Chargebacks, payment disputes, or unauthorized use of a payment method.
• Providing inaccurate or misleading information during registration or verification.

When an account is suspended or disqualified, pending Sweeps Coin balances, Gold Coin balances, and unredeemed prizes may be voided. If you believe a suspension or disqualification was made in error, contact support with the requested documents and a clear explanation; SweepShark will review appeals on a case-by-case basis.

How to redeem prizes and what to expect during verification

To redeem Sweeps Coins for prizes or cash:

1. Ensure your account is fully verified, meeting all identity and address requirements.
2. Confirm you meet any playthrough or event-specific wagering requirements.
3. Submit the redemption request through the account redemption portal.
4. Provide any additional documents requested by support for final approval.

Redemption processing includes anti-fraud checks and may take several business days. Large or unusual redemptions may require extra documentation. If identity verification fails or required documentation is not provided within a reasonable time, redemptions may be canceled.

Supported payments, currency, and customer support

SweepShark accepts Gold Coin purchases via Apple Pay, Google Pay, MasterCard, and Visa, with all transactions denominated in United States dollars. Use of payment services is optional and not required to access no-purchase entry methods.

Customer support options include live chat through the site and email at support@sweepsharkscasino.com. For mail-in entries, follow the instructions in the specific promotion and include the required return postage and account request code.
