Terms and Conditions
These terms govern your use of springboardresearch.com ("the Site"), operated under the name Sweepstakes Casinos. 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.
Who We Are and What This Site Does
Springboardresearch.com is an independent comparison and review website. We research, review, and rank sweepstakes casino platforms available to adult players in the United States. Our editorial team — currently led by Whitney Caldwell — assesses platforms against published criteria and presents that analysis to readers so they can make more informed choices.
We are not a sweepstakes casino, a gaming operator, or a licensed gambling platform. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, issue virtual currency, or redeem prizes. Any questions about a specific platform's rules, coin balances, or redemption processes should be directed to that operator.
Editorial Independence and Affiliate Relationships
Some of the platforms featured on this Site have a commercial relationship with us. When a reader follows a link from this Site and registers or makes a purchase, we may receive a commission. This is how independent comparison sites like ours are funded.
Commercial relationships do not determine rankings or editorial assessments. Platforms are ranked according to our editorial methodology, which evaluates welcome offers, game variety, coin structures, redemption terms, and user experience. A platform cannot pay to improve its ranking or remove a criticism. Our full reviews of the best sweepstakes casino sites set out what we looked at and why.
Accuracy and Information Currency
We research the platforms listed on this Site and update our content regularly. The fact-check date shown on each page indicates when the information on that page was last verified. However:
- Sweepstakes casino offers, terms, and eligible states change frequently and sometimes without notice.
- We cannot guarantee that every detail — welcome offer amounts, coin values, redemption thresholds, or excluded states — is current at the exact moment you read it.
- Always verify the current terms directly with the operator before registering or making any purchase.
- Nothing on this Site constitutes legal, financial, or tax advice.
If you spot an error or outdated information, please contact us and we will investigate promptly.
The Sweepstakes Model — What This Site Covers
The platforms reviewed on this Site operate under a promotional sweepstakes model, not as traditional real-money online casinos. Understanding the distinction matters for how you read our content.
Most platforms use a dual-currency system: a Gold Coin equivalent (used for entertainment play only, with no redemption value) and a Sweepstakes Coin equivalent (which may, subject to the operator's terms, be redeemed for prizes). No purchase is necessary to participate — operators are generally required by sweepstakes law to offer an alternative method of entry (AMOE), such as a postal request.
Availability varies by state. Some states restrict or prohibit sweepstakes casino platforms, and operators may also choose not to serve certain states based on their own legal assessment. Laws in this area change frequently. We do not confirm that any platform is legal in your specific state — that determination is yours to make, ideally by reading the operator's eligible-states list and, where you have questions, consulting applicable state law.
Age Eligibility
This Site is intended for adults only. Most sweepstakes casino platforms set a minimum age of 18; some require players to be 21 or older, either across all states or in specific jurisdictions. Age requirements are set by the individual operator and may vary. We do not direct content at anyone under 18, and we encourage all readers to confirm eligibility requirements with the relevant platform before registering.
No Guarantee of Outcomes
Sweepstakes casino games are games of chance. Nothing on this Site implies, suggests, or guarantees that playing on any platform will result in prize redemptions or financial benefit. Welcome offers and promotions are subject to each operator's terms — including eligibility conditions, minimum activity requirements, and redemption caps — and those terms change. We describe offers as we find them; we do not endorse them as certain or risk-free.
If gaming is causing you distress, please visit our responsible gambling page for guidance and support resources.
Intellectual Property
All original written content, ratings, methodologies, and editorial analysis on this Site are the property of springboardresearch.com.

Brand names, logos, and trademarks displayed on this Site belong to their respective owners. Their appearance here does not imply endorsement of this Site by those brands, nor endorsement of those brands beyond what our editorial analysis reflects.
Third-Party Links and Operator Responsibility
This Site contains links to third-party sweepstakes casino platforms. Once you leave this Site, you are subject to that operator's own terms and conditions, privacy policy, and rules. We have no control over third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Reviewing an operator's terms before registering is your responsibility.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, springboardresearch.com and its contributors accept no liability for:
- Losses arising from reliance on information published on this Site.
