Why Sweepstakes Casinos Are Legal
The Sweepstakes Model
Sweepstakes casinos operate under US sweepstakes law, not gambling law. They use a dual-currency system (Gold Coins for play, Sweeps Coins for prizes) that legally distinguishes them from traditional gambling.
No Purchase Necessary
The key legal requirement is that players can always participate without making a purchase. Free Sweeps Coins are available through daily logins, social media promotions, and mail-in requests.
