How allegedly free online casinos deceive people
Some online casinos allegedly use deceptive marketing and hidden rules to convince users to spend money and continue gambling. Sweeps coin casinos advertise their platforms as free to use, while still offering sizable monetary prizes. Upon further examination, this business model poses some challenges for consumers.
Specifically, the so-called “free” betting options may involve more complex processes with wagering requirements that must be satisfied before any payouts can be issued. Additionally, users may encounter minimum withdrawal limits if attempting to convert virtual winnings into cash. An informed examination of the full terms and conditions is prudent for any individual considering engaging with these gambling enterprises.
Are sweepstakes casinos legal?
Sweepstakes casinos are legally permitted to operate in most U.S. states because the business model technically does not fall under the definition of gambling.
These online casinos typically utilize a two-currency model. Virtual ”gold coins” can be directly purchased by the user but are solely used for additional games. However, the user cannot earn cash prizes with this currency, and it cannot be exchanged for cash.
“Sweep coins” are given to users as bonuses for signing up, buying virtual coin packs and continued playing. These sweep coins can be redeemed for cash rewards. Since sweep coins are granted without requiring purchase, the games legally qualify as a sweepstakes, where entry is available without cost.
By utilizing this regulatory nuance, sweepstakes casinos are not classified as gambling enterprises. As such, they can conduct business without a gaming license or significant oversight from regulatory bodies.
