Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how brandery.org works, what our listings and ratings do and don't mean, and what you agree to when you use this site. They apply to every page on brandery.org, including our reviews of sweepstakes and social casino brands and any comparison tables, write-ups or offer callouts you find here.

What Sweepstakes Casinos is and isn't

Sweepstakes Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource covering sweepstakes casinos and social casinos operating in the {{ country }} market. We are not a gaming operator, we do not run any sweepstakes promotion ourselves, and we do not hold, process or redeem Sweepstakes Coins or prizes on anyone's behalf. Any brand named on this site — including the sites compared on our top-rated list — is a separate, independently operated company responsible for its own promotions, terms and customer support.

Using brandery.org does not create any account, entry or prize relationship between you and us. That relationship, if you choose to sign up somewhere, exists solely between you and the operator you join.

How our content and ratings are put together

Our editorial ratings reflect our own research into publicly available information about each operator, such as the headline welcome offer, the stated eligibility rules, and how the sweepstakes model is described on the operator's own site. These are editorial opinions, not customer-review scores, and they are not a guarantee of any outcome if you play. Ranking position is not for sale — no operator can pay to move up the list, and commission arrangements described below play no part in how a brand is scored or ordered.

We do not claim to have deposited, played or redeemed prizes on any listed platform, and nothing on this site should be read as a first-hand account of gameplay outcomes. Game odds and any prize redemptions always involve chance, and we make no claim about winnings, odds or redemption speed being better on one platform than another.

Commercial relationships and how we're paid

Sweepstakes Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a listed operator and creates an account. This is how we fund the research behind our comparisons. Commission never determines which operators appear, how they are rated, or where they sit in a ranking — those decisions are made independently of any payment arrangement. Where an offer appears on this page — such as a welcome bonus of Gold Coins or Sweepstakes Coins — any eligibility rules, minimum ages or state restrictions attached to it are set by the operator, not by brandery.org, and can change without notice.

Understanding the sweepstakes model we write about

The sites we cover use a promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional real-money wagering. Typically this involves two currencies: a virtual coin (often called Gold Coins or similar) used for casual play with no cash value, and a second promotional currency (often called Sweepstakes Coins) that may, subject to an operator's own terms, be eligible for prize redemption once a minimum threshold and identity verification are met. Legitimate operators generally allow players to participate without making a purchase, often through a free alternative method of entry such as a mail-in request, alongside paid coin packages. We describe this model as accurately as we can based on publicly available operator terms, but the specific mechanics, redemption thresholds and verification steps vary by brand and can change, so always check the operator's own current terms before you rely on anything summarized here.

Eligibility, age and state availability

Sweepstakes casinos are not available or permitted everywhere. Availability varies by state, some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit this model entirely, and individual operators may choose not to serve certain states regardless of the general legal position. Laws in this area change frequently. Nothing on brandery.org should be read as legal advice or as confirmation that a particular platform is permitted where you live — it is your responsibility to check an operator's current eligible-state list and terms before creating an account.

Age requirements also differ between operators: some allow account creation from age 18, others require 21 in some or all states they serve. You must meet the minimum age set by an operator's own terms, and this site is intended for adults of legal age only — it is not directed at minors.

Your responsibilities as a reader

1. Verify current eligibility, age requirements and state restrictions directly with the operator before signing up.
2. Read the operator's own terms and conditions, privacy policy and redemption rules in full — our summaries are a starting point, not a substitute.
3. Understand that identity verification is typically required before any prize redemption, and that redeemed prizes may carry federal or state tax obligations you are responsible for tracking.
4. Use the information here for research purposes only, and treat any figures, offer terms or state lists as subject to change without notice.

Accuracy, updates and limitation of liability

We aim to keep listings, offer terms and eligibility notes current as of our last review, but operators can change bonus terms, coin values, redemption rules or the states they serve at any time. We are not liable for losses or inconvenience arising from reliance on outdated or inaccurate information, from decisions made based on our content, or from your dealings with any third-party operator. Nothing on this site guarantees any winnings, redemption outcome or level of service from a listed brand.

If you spot information that looks out of date or incorrect, you can reach us through Contact Us. For background on how we approach this site and its content, see About Us, and for guidance on setting limits around any coin-based or promotional play, our Responsible Gambling page has more detail.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in the operators we cover, in applicable law, or in how brandery.org operates. The version published here is the one currently in effect, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
