Terms and Conditions – Sweepstakes

These terms and conditions govern your use of herstoria.com (referred to here as "the site," "we" or "us"). By accessing any page on this site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What This Site Does

Sweepstakes (herstoria.com) is an independent comparison and review site covering sweepstakes casinos and social casinos available to players in the United States. We research, review and rank platforms that operate under a promotional sweepstakes model — not traditional real-money online gambling. Our aim is to help readers understand how these platforms work, what they offer, and how to choose between them.

We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, process payments or hold any gaming licence. Nothing on this site constitutes gambling services, legal advice or financial advice.

Who This Site Is For

This site is intended for adults in the United States. Most sweepstakes casino platforms require users to be at least 18 years old; some require users to be 21 or older, either across all states or in states where local rules set a higher minimum. We do not direct any content toward minors, and we ask that anyone under the applicable minimum age for their state does not use this site to seek out sweepstakes gaming platforms.

Availability of sweepstakes casinos varies by state. Some states restrict or prohibit this type of platform, and individual operators may also choose not to serve certain locations. Nothing on this site should be read as confirmation that any particular platform is available or lawful in your state. Always check the operator's current terms and your own state's rules before registering.

Editorial Independence and How We Are Funded

Herstoria.com earns revenue through affiliate relationships. When you click a link on this site and register with a sweepstakes casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. This commercial relationship does not determine how platforms are ranked or reviewed. Operators cannot pay for a higher position, and commission arrangements are not a factor in our editorial ratings or assessments.

Our rankings reflect independent research into factors that genuinely matter to readers — game variety, welcome offers and their conditions, coin structures, redemption processes, platform reliability and responsible-play tools. Every recommendation on this site carries at least one noted limitation. Where we have a financial relationship with a listed operator, that is made clear on the relevant review pages.

You can read more about how we assess platforms on our sweepstakes casino reviews page.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date. Offers, bonus terms, eligible states, redemption thresholds, payment methods and platform features can change without notice. The date shown at the top of each page reflects when it was last reviewed, but it does not guarantee that every detail remains current at the time you read it.

Before registering with any platform or making any purchase of virtual coin packages, you should:

Read the operator's own terms and conditions in full.
Confirm that the platform is available in your state.
Check the current welcome offer terms, including any minimum purchase requirements, expiry periods or wagering-style playthrough conditions.
Review the redemption process, including identity verification requirements and minimum thresholds.

We are not responsible for decisions made on the basis of information that has changed since a page was last updated.

How the Sweepstakes Model Works — a Brief Note

Sweepstakes casinos use a dual-currency model that distinguishes them from traditional real-money gambling. Players typically receive two types of virtual currency:

Gold Coins (GC) — used for entertainment play only. They have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
Sweepstakes Coins (SC) — a promotional currency that may be redeemable for prizes, subject to each platform's terms, minimum thresholds, identity verification and geographic eligibility.

A key feature of the sweepstakes model under US law is that no purchase is necessary to obtain Sweepstakes Coins. Legitimate platforms offer an alternative method of entry (AMOE) — commonly a mail-in request — so that players can participate without spending money. Purchasing coin packages is optional and does not guarantee any advantage in game outcomes.

Prize redemptions may be subject to federal and state tax obligations. If you redeem Sweepstakes Coins for prizes, you are responsible for understanding and meeting any applicable tax requirements. We recommend keeping records of redemptions and consulting official tax guidance if you are unsure of your obligations.

The Platforms We Review

The sweepstakes casinos reviewed and ranked on this site have been researched by our editorial team. We evaluate each platform based on publicly available information, operator terms, and the factors described in our review methodology. We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at any platform on behalf of readers, and we do not present editorial ratings as customer-review scores.

Only the platforms listed in our ranked comparisons are named, reviewed or recommended on this site. We do not introduce platforms that have not been assessed by our team.

Our current ranked selection includes platforms such as Crown Coins, Spinblitz, Lone Star, Free Spins, SplashCoins, MegaBonanza, Spree, Blitzmania, Card Crush and SweepKing. Each is reviewed individually on our top-rated sweepstakes casino comparison page.

Welcome Offers and Bonus Terms

Headline welcome offers quoted on this site — such as Gold Coin packages, free Sweepstakes Coins or bonus spins — are subject to each operator's own terms. Material conditions vary and may include:

Minimum coin purchase to unlock certain bonus tiers.
Playthrough or wagering requirements before Sweepstakes Coins become redeemable.
Expiry periods on promotional coins.
Geographic restrictions on who is eligible for a given offer.
One-per-household or one-per-device limits.

We place material conditions beside the offers they qualify wherever they are supplied to us. Where full terms are not provided, we direct readers to the operator's own terms page. Offers change frequently; always verify current terms directly with the operator before registering.

Third-Party Links and Operator Responsibility

Links from this site lead to third-party platforms that we do not control. Once you leave herstoria.com, the operator's own terms, privacy policy and responsible-play rules apply. We are not a party to any transaction, registration or dispute between you and an operator.

If you experience a problem with a platform listed on this site, your first step should be the operator's customer support. If you believe an operator has acted improperly, you may also wish to review the sweepstakes complaint process in your state, as applicable rules and enforcement bodies vary by jurisdiction.

Responsible Play

Sweepstakes casinos are entertainment products. While they operate under a different legal framework from traditional gambling, the games themselves — slots, table games and live-format titles — are designed to be engaging, and some players may find it difficult to manage their time or spending on coin packages.

If you or someone you know is experiencing problems related to gambling or gaming, free support is available. Our responsible gambling page lists resources and practical steps. You should also use any self-exclusion, deposit limit or play limit tools offered by the operator directly.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, herstoria.com and its operators accept no liability for:

Losses arising from decisions made based on content published on this site.
Inaccuracies in operator offers, terms or platform availability that were not known to us at the time of publication.
Technical issues on third-party platforms.
Any tax liability arising from prize redemptions.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable US law.
