Where You Can Play
Sweepstakes promotions sit outside gambling licensing, so where you can play is set by each operator rather than by one national rule.
The General Picture
Not legal adviceMost states are open to the operators on this site. The exclusions that exist are narrow but real, and they are inconsistent: two operators can take opposite views of the same state.
Excluded almost everywhere
Washington and Idaho. Their promotional statutes are strict enough that operators in this market generally decline players from either.
Excluded by some
Michigan, Nevada, Montana and Connecticut appear on certain exclusion lists and not others, usually as a compliance decision rather than a legal requirement.
Age limits
Eighteen at most operators, twenty-one at some, and twenty-one in particular states at others. It is checked against your documents, so a wrong date at signup only blocks a payout later.
Location beats address
Operators check where you actually are. A VPN or an out-of-state mailing address breaches the terms, and the point it usually surfaces is redemption, after the balance is built.
Two Lists
Before you registerKeeps a payout clean
- Real name, address and state from the start
- Verification completed before you play
- One account per person per operator
- Reading the operator exclusion list first
Voids a payout
- Playing through a VPN or proxy
- Registering from an address you do not live at
- A second account for a second welcome offer
- Sharing an account with anyone else
