Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of nmcompass.com ("the Site"), operated under the Sweeps Casinos brand. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
The Site is an independent comparison and review publication covering sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms available to users in the United States. We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, hold player funds or process any financial transactions on behalf of third parties.
About This Site and Its Content
nmcompass.com publishes editorial reviews, rankings, guides and commentary relating to sweepstakes casinos — platforms that allow users to play casino-style games using a promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional real-money wagering. Our content is intended to help adults make informed decisions about which platforms may suit their interests.
All reviews and ratings published on this Site reflect our editorial assessment based on research and publicly available information. They do not constitute legal, financial or gambling advice. You should always review an operator's own terms, check your state's applicable laws, and make your own independent judgement before participating on any platform.
Editorial Independence and Commercial Relationships
Some of the platforms featured on this Site have a commercial relationship with us. We may earn a commission or referral fee when a reader follows a link to an operator and creates an account or makes a purchase. These commercial relationships do not determine how platforms are ranked or reviewed. Our editorial ratings are assigned independently, based on criteria applied consistently across all operators we assess. Operators cannot purchase a higher position in our rankings.
Where commercial relationships exist, they are disclosed at the point the content appears. You should be aware that rankings on pages such as our best sweepstakes casinos guide reflect our editorial assessment alongside these commercial factors, and that the order in which platforms appear may not suit every reader's individual circumstances.
Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to keep the information published on this Site accurate and current. However, sweepstakes casino platforms change their offers, terms, eligible states, payment methods and game libraries frequently. The following limitations apply:
- Welcome offers, coin amounts and promotional details shown on this Site are subject to change by the operator at any time without notice to us.
- State availability and eligibility requirements listed for any platform may change as operators update their policies or as state laws evolve.
- We do not guarantee that any offer, feature or service described on this Site will be available to you when you visit the operator's platform.
- Our editorial ratings are based on research conducted at the time of review and are updated periodically. They represent our opinion, not a guarantee of quality or suitability.
- We have not personally deposited funds, played games, made redemptions or tested withdrawal speeds on any platform we review. Where we describe platform features, this reflects our research into publicly available information, operator documentation and terms of service.
Always verify current terms, eligible states and offer conditions directly with the operator before participating.
Sweepstakes Casino Model — What We Cover and What We Don't
The platforms reviewed on this Site operate under a promotional sweepstakes model. This is distinct from licensed real-money gambling. Key points that apply to our coverage:
- Dual currency: Most platforms use two types of virtual currency — a Gold Coin equivalent (used purely for entertainment, with no redemption value) and a Sweepstakes Coin equivalent (which may be redeemable for prizes, subject to platform terms and eligibility).
- No purchase necessary: Legitimate sweepstakes platforms offer a free alternative method of entry (AMOE), typically by mail-in request, so participation does not require a purchase. We do not imply that buying virtual currency packages is the only way to take part.
- Redemption conditions apply: Sweepstakes Coins or equivalent may be redeemable for prizes, but minimum thresholds, identity verification, geographic restrictions and processing timescales apply. Redemption is never instant or unconditional.
- Not real-money casinos: The platforms we cover are not licensed gambling operators in the traditional sense. We never describe them as real-money casinos, and we do not treat them as equivalent to state-licensed online gaming sites.
State Availability and Legal Disclaimer
Sweepstakes casino availability in the United States varies by state. Some states permit most sweepstakes casino operators; others have enacted laws, issued guidance or taken enforcement action that restricts or prohibits them. Operators also make their own decisions about which states they will serve, based on their assessment of legal risk.
This Site does not provide legal advice. We do not confirm that any specific platform is lawful for you to use in your state. Laws and operator policies change frequently. If you have questions about whether a particular platform is available or permissible in your jurisdiction, you should review the operator's own eligibility terms and, if in doubt, consult an appropriate professional or your state's relevant regulatory authority.
Our content is directed at adults aged 18 or over. Some operators require users to be 21 or older, either platform-wide or in specific states. Always check the age requirement of any platform before registering.
Tax Obligations
If you redeem Sweepstakes Coins or equivalent prizes on any platform, those redemptions may constitute taxable income under federal and state tax rules. The Site does not provide tax advice. You are responsible for understanding and meeting your own tax obligations. If you receive prizes of reportable value, keep records and consult official guidance or a qualified tax professional.
Responsible Play
Even though sweepstakes casinos operate under a promotional model rather than traditional gambling, casino-style games involve chance and can carry risks for some users. We encourage all readers to set personal limits, play within their means and seek support if they feel their play is becoming problematic. Our responsible gambling page lists resources available to US residents.
