Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of teatimemonkeys.com, operated under the name Sweeps Casinos. By browsing or using this site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We review and update these terms periodically — the date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
Who We Are and What We Do
Sweeps Casinos (teatimemonkeys.com) is an independent comparison and review website covering sweepstakes casinos and social casinos available to players in the United States. We research, assess and publish editorial content to help adults make informed decisions about which platforms suit them. We do not operate a sweepstakes casino ourselves, and we do not process any real-money transactions or Sweepstakes Coin redemptions on behalf of any operator listed on this site.
Content on this site is prepared by our editorial team, including author Eric Delaney, and is intended for general informational purposes only. Nothing on teatimemonkeys.com constitutes legal, financial or gambling advice.
Affiliate and Commercial Relationships
We may earn a commission or referral fee when a reader follows a link from this site to an operator and subsequently creates an account or makes a purchase. This is how we fund independent research and keep the site free to use.
Commercial relationships do not determine editorial rankings or ratings. Our assessments are based on independently verified criteria including game selection, welcome offer terms, coin redemption conditions, platform usability and responsible-play resources. A platform cannot purchase a higher ranking, and no operator has editorial control over what we write. Where a commercial relationship exists, we disclose it here rather than beside every individual link.
The ranked offer cards displayed on this site reflect our editorial conclusions at the time of the most recent fact-check. Ratings, offers and conditions can change — always verify current terms directly with the operator before signing up.
Accuracy and Editorial Standards
We fact-check the information on this site on a rolling basis. The date shown on each page indicates when that page was last verified. Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that every detail — including welcome offer terms, eligible states, redemption thresholds and coin values — is accurate at the moment you read it. Sweepstakes casino promotions and eligibility rules change frequently.
- Always read the operator's own terms and conditions before registering.
- Verify that the platform is available in your state before creating an account.
- Check current welcome offer terms directly on the operator's site — the headline figures we quote may have changed.
- If you are unsure whether a platform is legal in your jurisdiction, consult the operator's eligibility page or seek independent legal guidance.
We do not reproduce promotional copy verbatim from operators, and we do not present advertised speeds, payout rates or bonus values as tested or verified results unless we explicitly say so. Editorial ratings on this site are our own assessments and are never customer-review aggregates.
The Platforms We Cover
The following sweepstakes casino platforms are reviewed and listed on this site. Each operates under the promotional sweepstakes model, meaning play is conducted with virtual currencies — typically Gold Coins for entertainment and Sweepstakes Coins (or equivalent) that may be redeemable for prizes subject to the operator's terms.

Listing on this site does not constitute an endorsement of any operator's legal status in any particular jurisdiction, nor a representation that any offer is currently available. Offer conditions, including any minimum purchase, wagering requirements, redemption minimums and state restrictions, are set entirely by the individual operator.
How the Sweepstakes Model Works — A Brief Explanation
Sweepstakes casinos are not licensed real-money gambling sites. They operate under U.S. promotional sweepstakes law, which permits prize competitions provided that no purchase is necessary to enter. On a typical platform:
- Gold Coins (GC) — virtual currency used for entertainment play only. They have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
- Sweepstakes Coins (SC) — a separate promotional currency that may be redeemable for prizes, subject to the platform's redemption terms, minimum thresholds, identity verification and geographic restrictions.
- No purchase necessary — legitimate operators provide a free alternative method of entry (AMOE), such as a postal request, meaning you can generally obtain Sweepstakes Coins without spending money. Purchasing Gold Coin packages is optional and may come with bonus Sweepstakes Coins, but is never the only route to participation.
Redemption of Sweepstakes Coins is subject to each platform's individual terms. Most operators require identity verification (KYC) before processing a redemption, and minimum redemption thresholds apply. Prize redemptions may also have tax implications under federal and applicable state law — players are responsible for their own tax obligations and should keep records of any prizes received.
Eligibility and Legal Availability
Sweepstakes casinos are governed primarily at the state level in the United States. Availability varies significantly: some states permit most operators, while others have enacted legislation or taken enforcement positions that restrict or prohibit sweepstakes gaming platforms. Operators also make their own decisions about which states they choose to serve, independent of whether state law would otherwise permit it.
teatimemonkeys.com does not provide legal advice on whether any specific platform is lawful for you to use. We strongly encourage readers to:
- Check the eligible states list on the operator's own site before registering.
- Review any state-specific terms the operator publishes.
- Recognise that laws governing sweepstakes gaming are evolving — a platform's availability in your state may change without notice.
Most platforms require users to be at least 18 years old to register and participate. Some operators set a higher minimum age of 21 in certain states or as a blanket policy. Age requirements are set by each individual operator and must be confirmed on their site. This site's content is intended solely for adults of legal age in their jurisdiction.
