Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how ethpyramid.com works, what this site does and does not do, and what you agree to by using it. Sweepstakes casinos operate under state-specific rules that change over time, so read this alongside each operator's own terms before you sign up anywhere.

What This Site Is — and Isn't

New Sweepstakes Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource covering sweepstakes and social casinos available to US players. We publish research, editorial ratings and rankings of operators such as those listed on our reviewed and ranked sweepstakes casinos page. We are not a sweepstakes casino, a gaming operator, a payment processor, or a party to any promotion an operator runs. We do not accept deposits, run games, issue Sweepstakes Coins, or process redemptions. Any account you open, coin package you purchase, or prize you redeem is a transaction between you and the operator in question, governed entirely by that operator's own terms and conditions.

Sweepstakes casinos use a dual-currency promotional model, not traditional real-money wagering. Gold Coins are typically play-only virtual credits with no cash value, while Sweepstakes Coins (or an equivalent) can, under an operator's own rules, potentially be redeemed for cash-equivalent prizes once minimum thresholds and verification steps are met. This site describes that model for education; we do not administer it and cannot guarantee any outcome, redemption, or timeline on an operator's behalf.

How We Assess and Rank Operators

Our editorial ratings reflect research into publicly available information: welcome offers and their stated conditions, the apparent breadth of a game library, redemption and verification processes as described by the operator, and general reputation. We do not claim to have deposited, played, or withdrawn funds on any platform, and we make no claims about odds, payout speed, or return-to-player figures — those are set by the games and operators themselves, not by us.

Commission from an operator, where it exists, never determines placement or rating. We may earn a fee if you follow a link from this site and open an account with a listed operator; this is disclosed here and does not change the order in which operators appear or the score we give them. If information changes — an offer expires, eligible states shift, or an operator alters its terms — our listings may not reflect that update immediately, and you should always confirm current terms directly with the operator before acting.

No Purchase Necessary and No Guaranteed Outcomes

Legitimate sweepstakes casinos are structured so that participation, including the chance to redeem prizes, generally does not require a purchase. Most operators offer a free method of obtaining Sweepstakes Coins, sometimes including a mail-in alternative method of entry, alongside paid Gold Coin packages that may include bonus Sweepstakes Coins. Nothing on this site should be read as suggesting that buying coins is required to play or to redeem, or that any purchase improves your chances of winning. Casino-style games involve chance. We do not promise, imply, or guarantee winnings, prizes, redemption amounts, or timelines of any kind, on this site or on any operator we mention.

Eligibility, State Availability, and Your Responsibility to Check

Availability of sweepstakes casinos varies by state, and some states restrict or prohibit this model entirely. Operators decide for themselves which states they serve, and those decisions change as laws and enforcement positions shift. Age requirements also vary: some operators accept users at 18, others require 21, depending on the operator and sometimes the state. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, and we do not tell you whether a specific operator is legal for you to use. Before creating an account, confirm your state's current eligibility, the operator's minimum age requirement, and any other restriction directly on that operator's site or in its terms.

Redeemed prizes may be treated as taxable income under federal and state tax rules, and obligations vary depending on your circumstances. Keep your own records of any redemption and consult official tax guidance or a qualified professional if you have questions — we do not provide tax advice.

Identity Verification and Redemption, in General Terms

Most reputable operators require identity verification, such as a government-issued photo ID and sometimes proof of address, before processing a redemption. Redemption thresholds, processing times, accepted payment methods, and any fees are set entirely by the individual operator and are described in that operator's own terms — we do not control or guarantee any of it. Where operators mention methods such as ACH bank transfer, other electronic payment services, or gift card redemption, treat those as general possibilities to confirm on the operator's own site, not a promise made by us.

Accuracy, Changes, and Limits of Liability

We take reasonable care to keep information current as of the fact-check date shown on this page, but offers, eligible states, game libraries, and redemption terms can change without notice. We are not responsible for losses, disputes, or dissatisfaction arising from your use of any third-party operator, including issues with account verification, redemption delays, or changes to promotional terms after you sign up. Your use of any operator's platform is subject solely to that operator's own terms, privacy policy, and applicable state law.

We may update these terms, our reviews, or our rankings at any time as new information becomes available. Continued use of ethpyramid.com after changes are posted means you accept the current version.

Play Within Your Means

Even where no purchase is required, casino-style games are designed for entertainment and involve chance. If gaming stops being fun, or you want tools and support around healthy play, our Responsible Gambling page has more information. This is content and entertainment for adults of legal age only; it is not intended for minors, and no operator listed here should be understood to target or accept underage users.
