Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of zenzo.io and explain how we operate as an independent comparison and review site for sweepstakes casinos in the United States. By accessing any part of this site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.
Who We Are and What We Do
Sweepstakes Casino is an independent editorial website that researches, reviews and compares sweepstakes casino platforms available to players in the US. We do not operate a casino, accept deposits, hold virtual currency on your behalf, or facilitate any gaming activity. All gaming takes place on the third-party platforms we link to, and those platforms' own terms and conditions govern your relationship with them.
Our editorial team — led by Vivian Dawson — reviews each platform based on publicly available information, verified operator terms, welcome offer details and the dual-currency model each platform uses. We do not claim to have deposited, played or redeemed prizes on any platform. Where we describe an offer, we have verified its existence against operator materials as of our most recent fact-check date.
Commercial Relationships and Editorial Independence
Some of the platforms listed on this site pay us a commission if a visitor creates an account through one of our links. This is how we fund our research and keep the site free to use. Commercial arrangements do not determine how we rank or rate a platform — our editorial ratings reflect our independent assessment criteria only. Paid relationships are disclosed on every page where they apply.
Rankings, ratings and recommendations may change over time as platforms update their terms, welcome offers or product range. We review our assessments regularly and aim to reflect the most current information available.
How Our Ratings and Reviews Work
Each platform featured on zenzo.io receives an editorial rating on a scale reflecting a range of factors we assess during our research process. Those factors include, but are not limited to:
- The clarity and fairness of the platform's dual-currency structure
- The generosity and transparency of welcome offers and daily rewards
- Game variety and quality across slots, table games and live-dealer formats
- Redemption conditions, verification requirements and processing terms
- Responsible play tools and player support options
- State availability and eligibility conditions
Ratings are editorial opinions, not customer-review aggregates. They represent our view at the time of the most recent review and may not reflect changes made by a platform after that date. Always read a platform's current terms before creating an account.
Welcome Offers — What You Need to Know
We list welcome offers for each platform as supplied by the operator. Below is a summary of the current headline offers for the platforms we cover. All offers are subject to each operator's individual terms, eligibility conditions and state restrictions.
| Platform | Headline Welcome Offer | Editorial Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Spinblitz | 100 Million Gold Coins with the BLITZ JACKPOT | 10.0 |
| MegaBonanza | 303 Free SC + 600k GC | 9.9 |
| Lone Star | Welcome Offer up to 500k GC & 105 Free SC | 9.8 |
| Free Spins | 950,000 GC + SC 75 + 20 Free Spins on Gorilla Slot | 9.7 |
| SplashCoins | 200% Welcome Offer | 9.6 |
| Card Crush | Instant Welcome Reward 2 Mystery Coins & 5 Cards | 9.3 |
| Spree | 25,000 GC Welcome Offer | 9.3 |

| Crown Coins | 150% Welcome Bonus | 9.1 |
| SweepKing | Welcome bonus 100K Gold Coins + 2 SC bonus | 8.9 |
Offers shown above were verified as of our most recent fact-check. They are subject to change at any time without notice. A percentage-based offer applies to coin purchases, not to free coins received through no-purchase methods. Sweepstakes Coins included in any welcome offer carry redemption conditions set by the individual operator — minimum thresholds, identity verification and geographic restrictions all apply before any prize can be redeemed.
The Sweepstakes Model — A Note on How These Platforms Work
The platforms we review are sweepstakes casinos, not licensed real-money gambling sites. They operate under a promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional wagering law. Most use two types of virtual currency:
- Gold Coins (GC) or equivalent: Used for play only. They have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
- Sweepstakes Coins (SC) or equivalent: Earned through play, daily bonuses, promotions or free alternative methods of entry (AMOE). SC may be redeemable for prizes, subject to operator terms, verification and state eligibility.
No purchase is necessary to obtain Sweepstakes Coins or to participate in any sweepstakes promotion. Each operator is required to offer a free alternative method of entry. We cover the sweepstakes model in more detail on our sweepstakes casino reviews page.
State Availability and Legal Standing
Sweepstakes casinos operate under state-level rules in the United States. Availability varies by state — some states allow most sweepstakes casino operators, while others have enacted restrictions or taken enforcement actions. Operators also make their own decisions about which states they serve based on their own legal assessments.
We do not provide legal advice, and nothing on this site should be read as a determination that a specific platform is lawful in your state. Availability can change without notice, and laws in this area evolve frequently. Before creating an account with any platform, check that operator's current list of eligible states and review your own state's applicable rules. If you have questions about legality, consult a qualified attorney or your state's relevant regulatory body.
Most sweepstakes casino platforms require participants to be at least 18 years old. Some platforms require users to be 21 or older in certain states or as a matter of company policy. Age requirements are set by the individual operator and are displayed in their terms. This site is intended for adults only.
Prize Redemption, Taxes and Verification
Sweepstakes Coins that are redeemed for prizes are subject to the terms of the individual operator. General conditions that commonly apply include:
- Identity verification (KYC): Operators typically require a government-issued photo ID and may request proof of address before processing any redemption.
- Minimum thresholds: A minimum quantity of Sweepstakes Coins is usually required before a redemption request can be submitted.
- Processing times: Redemptions are not instant. Timing varies by operator and payment method.
- Geographic restrictions: Some states or territories may be excluded from prize redemption even if the platform is otherwise accessible there.
- Tax obligations: Prize redemptions may constitute taxable income under federal and applicable state tax law. Players are responsible for understanding and meeting their own tax obligations. Keep records of any prizes redeemed and consult official IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional if needed.
We do not process redemptions, hold funds or provide tax advice. All redemption queries should be directed to the relevant platform.
Accuracy, Changes and Our Fact-Check Process
We aim to keep all information on zenzo.io accurate and current. Our team verifies operator offers, terms and eligibility details on a regular schedule. Despite our efforts, information can become outdated between review cycles — operators change their terms, alter welcome offers and adjust state availability without always publishing advance notice.
We make no warranty, express or implied, about the completeness or accuracy of any information on this site. We accept no liability for decisions made in reliance on content published here. Always verify current terms directly with the operator before creating an account or making a purchase.
If you notice information that appears to be outdated or incorrect, please let us know via our contact page. We review all reports and update our content where we can verify a change.
Responsible Play
Sweepstakes casinos involve chance-based games. While the sweepstakes model differs from traditional real-money gambling, games of chance can still affect some players negatively. We encourage all visitors to play within their means, take advantage of the free-play and no-purchase options every legitimate platform offers, and be aware of the time they spend on any gaming platform.
If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulty managing gaming habits, please visit our responsible gambling guidance page for information on support resources available in the US.
