Terms and Conditions — Sweeps | heritageinvestor.com

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using Sweeps (heritageinvestor.com). By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

1. About This Site

Sweeps is an independent comparison and review website. We research, review, and rank sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms for readers in the United States. We do not operate any sweepstakes casino or social casino ourselves, and we do not process any game play, coin purchases, or prize redemptions. All platforms listed on this site are operated independently by their respective owners.

Our editorial content — including ratings, write-ups, and comparisons — is produced by our team based on independent research. We aim to help readers understand how sweepstakes casinos work, what to look for when choosing one, and what conditions apply to welcome offers and ongoing promotions.

2. Affiliate Disclosure

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. When you click through to a sweepstakes casino and create an account or make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the operator. This commission is paid by the operator and does not add any cost to you.

Commercial relationships do not determine how we rank or review platforms. Our editorial ratings reflect our independent assessment of each operator. Operators cannot pay for a higher position, and a platform's inclusion on this site does not constitute an endorsement of its services beyond what our review states.

For a fuller explanation of how we evaluate and rank platforms, visit our guide to the best sweepstakes casinos in the US.

3. Age Requirements

You must be of legal age to use this website. Most sweepstakes casino operators require users to be at least 18 years old; some require users to be 21 or older, either across all states or in specific jurisdictions where local rules or operator policy set a higher minimum. By using Sweeps, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement applicable in your state.

We do not direct content toward minors, and we do not encourage participation in sweepstakes casino platforms by anyone who does not meet the relevant age threshold. Always check the individual operator's terms for the age requirement that applies to you.

4. The Sweepstakes Model — What This Site Covers

The platforms reviewed on Sweeps operate under a promotional sweepstakes model, not a traditional real-money gambling model. This distinction is important and shapes everything we write.

Gold Coins (or equivalent): A virtual currency used purely for entertainment. Gold Coins have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
Sweepstakes Coins (or equivalent): A promotional currency that can, subject to the operator's terms, be redeemed for prizes, including cash equivalents. Sweepstakes Coins are not a guaranteed return; outcomes in sweepstakes casino games are determined by chance.
No purchase necessary: Legitimate sweepstakes casinos offer a free alternative method of entry (AMOE). Purchasing coin packages is optional, not a requirement for participation.

We describe these platforms as sweepstakes casinos or social casinos throughout this site. We do not describe them as real-money casinos or licensed gambling operators, because they are neither.

5. Geographic Availability and Legal Status

Sweepstakes casino availability in the United States varies by state. Some states permit most sweepstakes casino operators; others have enacted laws or taken enforcement positions that restrict or prohibit them. Operators also make their own decisions about which states they serve, based on their legal assessment of local rules.

Sweeps does not provide legal advice, and nothing on this site should be read as a statement that any platform is definitively legal for you to use. Laws and operator policies change frequently. Before registering with any platform, check the operator's current list of eligible and excluded states, and review the applicable laws in your jurisdiction if you have any doubt.

We are not responsible for any consequences arising from a reader's decision to use or attempt to use a platform in a jurisdiction where it is not available.

6. Accuracy of Information

We make every reasonable effort to ensure the information on Sweeps is accurate and current. Welcome offers, coin quantities, redemption thresholds, accepted payment methods, and platform terms all change. The date shown at the top of each page reflects when that page was last reviewed, but it does not guarantee that every detail remains current at the time you read it.

Before registering with any operator or acting on any offer described on this site, verify the current terms directly with the operator. Offer conditions — including eligibility, purchase requirements, expiry dates, and redemption caps — are set by the operator and are subject to change without notice to us.

7. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Sweepstakes casino games involve chance. Nothing on this site implies, suggests, or guarantees that playing on any listed platform will result in prize redemptions or any particular outcome. We do not claim that any platform offers the best odds, the highest redemption rates, or the fastest prize processing. Any such characterisation would be unsupported, and we do not make it.

Participate in sweepstakes casino platforms for entertainment. Do not participate with money you cannot afford to spend, and do not treat Sweepstakes Coins as a reliable source of income.

8. Responsible Play

Although sweepstakes casinos differ legally from licensed gambling operators, the games are designed to feel like casino games, and some people may find them difficult to manage. If your use of sweepstakes casino platforms is causing you concern — or concern to someone close to you — please visit our responsible gambling resources page for guidance and support organisations.

You must be of eligible age, and participation must be voluntary. If any operator offers a self-exclusion or account-limitation tool, we encourage you to use it if you feel it would help.

9. Tax Obligations

Prize redemptions from sweepstakes casinos may be taxable under federal and state tax rules. Tax obligations depend on the amount redeemed, your personal tax situation, and the rules of the state in which you reside. Sweeps does not provide tax advice. If you redeem prizes and are uncertain about your obligations, consult the IRS guidance on prizes and awards, or seek advice from a qualified tax professional. Keep records of your activity and any prizes redeemed.

10. Intellectual Property

All original content on Sweeps — including written reviews, editorial ratings, comparison tables, and site text — is the property of Sweeps or its content contributors and is protected under applicable copyright law. You may not reproduce, republish, scrape, or redistribute any content from this site without prior written consent.

Brand names, logos, and trademarks belonging to the sweepstakes casino operators listed on this site remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on Sweeps does not imply any affiliation beyond the commercial relationship described in Section 2.

11. Third-Party Links and Content

This site contains links to third-party websites, including the sweepstakes casino platforms we review. Once you leave heritageinvestor.com, you are subject to the terms and privacy policies of those third-party sites. We have no control over their content, availability, or practices, and we accept no responsibility for them.

The inclusion of a link to an operator's site is not an unconditional endorsement. Our review describes what we found during our research; conditions at the operator may have changed since that review was published.

12. Limitation of Liability

Sweeps is provided on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We are not liable for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, or consequential — arising from your use of this site, your reliance on any information published here, or your use of any platform linked from this site.

13. Privacy

Information about how Sweeps collects, uses, and stores data about visitors is set out separately. If you have questions about privacy, please contact us and we will direct you to the relevant information.

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or amend these terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately on publication to this page. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated. Your continued use of Sweeps after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree to the revised terms, please stop using the site.

15. Contact
