Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how steemwhales.com operates as an independent comparison and information resource for sweepstakes and social casinos. By using this site, you agree to the terms set out below. Please read them alongside our Responsible Gambling page and our Verification & Terms page, which cover eligibility and account-level requirements in more detail.

What Sweeps Casinos Is and Is Not

steemwhales.com is a publisher of reviews, comparisons and informational content about sweepstakes casinos and social casinos. We are not a gaming operator, we do not run any of the platforms listed on this site, and we do not accept deposits, hold player funds or process redemptions. Any activity you undertake with a sweepstakes casino, including creating an account, submitting an alternative method of entry, or requesting a Sweepstakes Coins redemption, is a matter between you and that operator, governed by that operator's own terms and conditions.

Sweepstakes casinos operate under a promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional real-money wagering. Platforms typically use two currencies: Gold Coins, which are used for entertainment-only play and carry no cash value, and Sweepstakes Coins, which can be obtained free of charge through purchase-free methods and may, subject to an operator's rules, be eligible for prize redemption. Nothing on this site should be read as a claim that any listed platform is a real-money casino or that outcomes are guaranteed.

How We Rank and Present Offers

Some pages on this site rank or compare offers from operators such as Crown Coins, SplashCoins, Casino.Click, Free Spins, Lucky.me, Crash Duel, Spree, Spinblitz, Dorados and McLuck. We may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this site. This commercial relationship does not determine ranking order, editorial ratings, or the content of our write-ups. Ratings reflect our own editorial assessment based on publicly available information about each operator, including welcome offers, game selection and stated redemption processes, verified as of {{ fact-check-date }} where information was available to review.

Welcome offers, coin amounts and bonus terms displayed on this site are supplied by or sourced from the operators themselves and are subject to change without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep this information current, but you should always confirm the exact terms, eligibility requirements and expiry conditions directly on the operator's own site before signing up or making a purchase.

No Purchase Necessary and Age Requirements

A defining feature of legitimate sweepstakes casinos is that participation generally does not require a purchase. Reputable operators offer a free, purchase-free method of entry, such as a mail-in alternative method of entry, alongside the option to purchase additional Gold Coins. Content on this site should never be read as suggesting that buying coin packages is the only way to take part or to become eligible for prize redemption.

Sweepstakes casinos are intended for adults only. Most operators require users to be at least 18 years old, and some require a minimum age of 21, depending on the platform and the state. Nothing on this site is directed at, or intended to appeal to, anyone under the legal age to participate. It is your responsibility to confirm you meet an operator's minimum age requirement before creating an account.

Availability Varies by State

Sweepstakes casinos are not available, or legally permitted, in every U.S. state. Availability is decided largely at the state level, and individual operators choose which states they serve based on their own legal assessment. Laws in this area change frequently, and a platform's eligible-state list can change without much notice. We do not represent that any operator listed on this site is legal or available in your specific state. You are responsible for checking an operator's current eligibility list and for confirming your own state's rules before registering or making a purchase.

Redemptions, Taxes and Verification

Sweepstakes Coins redemptions are not instant or guaranteed. Operators typically apply minimum redemption thresholds, identity verification requirements and processing times, and may decline redemption requests that do not meet their terms. Before releasing a prize, most platforms require government-issued photo identification and may request proof of address or other personal details matching your account. Redeemed prizes may also be subject to federal or state tax obligations; you should keep your own records and, where necessary, seek guidance from a qualified tax professional or the relevant tax authority.

Content Accuracy and Limitation of Liability

We take reasonable care to keep information on steemwhales.com accurate, but sweepstakes casino terms, promotions, eligible-state lists and game libraries change regularly and without notice. We do not guarantee that any information on this site is complete, current or error-free, and we accept no liability for losses, missed promotions or disputes arising from your use of a third-party operator. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial or tax advice. If you have questions about whether a particular platform is available or lawful for you to use, check that operator's terms directly and, if needed, consult a qualified professional in your state.

Intellectual Property and Acceptable Use

The text, layout, ratings and comparisons published on steemwhales.com are our own work and may not be copied, republished or redistributed without permission. Operator names, logos and offer details remain the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification and comparison purposes only. You may not use this site to scrape, mislead, or misrepresent our content as your own, or to target content at anyone under the legal age to use a sweepstakes casino.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our commercial arrangements, or the sweepstakes casino industry itself. The version published on this page applies to your use of the site from the date it was last updated. We recommend checking back periodically if you are a regular reader.
