Terms and Conditions – Sweeps

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using Sweeps (peterhkent.com). By accessing or continuing to use this website, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree with any part of them, please stop using the site.

1. About This Website

Sweeps is an independent comparison and information website covering sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms available to players in the United States. We research, review, and compare third-party operators so that readers can make more informed decisions. We do not operate any sweepstakes casino or social casino ourselves, and we do not facilitate gameplay, coin purchases, or prize redemptions. All those services are provided solely by the individual operators.

2. Affiliate and Commercial Relationships

Some of the operators featured on Sweeps have a commercial relationship with us. When you follow a link from this site and register or make a purchase, we may receive a commission or other compensation from that operator. This arrangement does not cost you anything extra and does not determine how we rank or review operators. Our editorial assessments are based on independent research, and commission does not buy a higher position in our comparisons. Where a commercial relationship exists, we disclose it clearly near the relevant content.

For a fuller explanation of how we assess and rank the platforms on this site, see our top-rated sweepstakes casino picks page, which sets out our methodology.

3. Age Requirement

This website is intended solely for adults. Most sweepstakes casino operators require participants to be at least 18 years old; some set the minimum age at 21, either across all states or in specific jurisdictions where local rules apply. By using Sweeps, you confirm that you are of legal age in your state to participate in sweepstakes promotions. We do not knowingly publish content directed at minors and do not condone underage participation in any form.

4. The Sweepstakes Model — What This Site Covers

The platforms reviewed on Sweeps operate under a promotional sweepstakes model, not traditional real-money gambling. Understanding the distinction matters:

Gold Coins (or equivalent): A virtual play currency with no cash value, used for entertainment only. They can be purchased in coin packages or obtained free of charge.
Sweepstakes Coins (or equivalent): A separate promotional currency that can be accumulated through gameplay and, subject to eligibility, minimum thresholds, identity verification, and the operator's terms, redeemed for prizes.
No purchase necessary: Legitimate sweepstakes casinos must offer a free alternative method of entry (AMOE) — typically a mail-in request — so that no purchase is required to participate or to receive Sweepstakes Coins.

Nothing on this site constitutes a representation that any platform is a licensed real-money casino or that participation guarantees any prize.

5. Geographic Availability and Legal Standing

Sweepstakes casinos are governed at the state level in the United States. Availability varies: some states permit most operators, others have enacted restrictions or taken enforcement action, and operators themselves may choose not to serve certain states based on their own legal assessment. Laws in this area change frequently.

Sweeps does not confirm that any operator is legally available to you. It is your responsibility to check whether a platform operates in your state and whether you meet its eligibility requirements before signing up. We encourage you to review an operator's own list of excluded states and its current terms of service. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice.

6. Accuracy of Information

We make every reasonable effort to keep the information on Sweeps accurate and current. Bonus offers, coin allocations, redemption thresholds, accepted payment methods, excluded states, and other terms change regularly and without notice. The details displayed on this site reflect our research as of the date shown on each page, but they may not reflect the operator's current offer at the moment you visit.

Always verify the terms directly with the operator before registering or making any purchase. Sweeps accepts no liability for losses or disadvantages arising from reliance on information that has since changed.

7. No Guarantee of Outcome

Sweepstakes casino games are games of chance. Nothing on this site implies, suggests, or guarantees that you will accumulate Sweepstakes Coins, reach any redemption threshold, or receive any prize. Outcomes are never certain, and you should treat any coin packages you purchase as entertainment spending, not as an investment with an expected return.

8. Responsible Play

Even though sweepstakes casinos do not operate as traditional gambling sites, the games are designed to be engaging, and some people may find their play becoming harder to manage. Sweeps encourages all visitors to set personal limits, take regular breaks, and be honest with themselves about how they are spending their time and money. If you have concerns about your own play habits or those of someone you know, please visit our responsible gambling resources page for guidance and support organisations.

9. Taxes and Prize Redemption

Prize redemptions through sweepstakes casinos may have tax implications under federal and state law. If you successfully redeem Sweepstakes Coins for prizes, you may be required to report the value as income. Tax obligations depend on your individual circumstances and the applicable federal and state rules. Sweeps does not provide tax advice. We recommend keeping clear records of any redemptions and consulting official IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional if you have questions.

10. Intellectual Property

All original content on Sweeps — including written copy, editorial ratings, comparison structures, and graphical elements produced by or for this site — is protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws. You may read and share individual URLs, but you may not reproduce, scrape, republish, or redistribute the site's content, in whole or in part, without prior written permission. Operator names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and are used here solely for identification and review purposes.

11. Third-Party Links and Operator Responsibility

Links on Sweeps lead to third-party websites operated independently of this site. We have no control over their content, availability, terms, or practices once you leave peterhkent.com. Listing or linking to an operator does not constitute an endorsement of everything on that operator's platform. We recommend reading any operator's own terms and conditions, privacy policy, and responsible play guidance before you register.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sweeps and its operators, contributors, and affiliates accept no liability for:

any direct or indirect loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website;
decisions made in reliance on information published here;
the acts or omissions of any third-party operator linked from this site;
interruptions, errors, or omissions in the site's content.

This limitation does not affect any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law.

13. Privacy

Sweeps collects limited data about visitors in order to operate and improve the site. We do not sell personal data to third parties. For full details of what we collect, how we use it, and your rights, please refer to our privacy policy. If you have a specific privacy question, you are welcome to reach out via the contact page.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms and conditions at any time to reflect changes in the law, our commercial arrangements, or the way the site operates. The date at the top of the page will be updated when material changes are made. Continued use of Sweeps after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If a change is significant, we will make reasonable efforts to highlight it clearly.

15. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States applicable to agreements made and performed here. Any disputes arising in connection with these terms or the use of Sweeps shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the relevant courts.

16. Contact
