Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how lacmoreau.com operates, what our content is (and isn't), and what you agree to by using this site. We publish independent research on new sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms operating under the sweepstakes model, and this page sets out the ground rules that sit underneath every review, ranking and comparison you find here.

What this site does and does not do

lacmoreau.com is an independent information and comparison resource. We review sweepstakes casinos and social casinos — platforms that use a dual-currency promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional real-money wagering — and we summarise what we find so readers can compare options before signing up anywhere.

• We do not operate any casino, sweepstakes platform or gaming product ourselves.
• We do not process deposits, payments, prize redemptions or withdrawals on behalf of any operator.
• We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, or act as an agent for any listed brand.
• We are not a substitute for reading an operator's own terms, rules and eligibility criteria before you register.

Any content referencing brands such as Crown Coins, SplashCoins, Casino.Click, Free Spins, Lucky.me, Crash Duel, Spree, Spinblitz, Dorados or McLuck reflects our own research at the time of writing and is not sponsored copy written by those operators. Full write-ups for several of these platforms are available on our Sweepstakes Casinos: Best Rated Sites Reviewed page.

How our reviews and rankings work

Our editorial ratings are based on factors we can actually support: the range of games on offer, the clarity and material conditions of welcome offers, how straightforward the coin systems are, the presence of a genuine free-to-play path, and general usability. Ratings are our own opinion, not a guarantee of performance, payout speed or outcome. Where we link to an operator and a reader signs up, lacmoreau.com may earn a commission from that operator. This commercial relationship never decides where an operator sits in our rankings — position is set by our editorial assessment, and paying us does not move a listing up the page.

We do not claim to have deposited, played or redeemed prizes on any listed platform. Our content is based on research and publicly available terms, and it is reviewed and updated as operators change their offers, eligibility rules or terms of service.

The sweepstakes model, explained plainly

Sweepstakes casinos are not real-money casinos. They typically run on two forms of virtual currency: a Gold Coins-style currency used purely for entertainment play with no prize value, and a Sweepstakes Coins-style currency that can, subject to an operator's own terms, be redeemed for prizes. Most legitimate platforms let users obtain Sweepstakes Coins without making a purchase, through daily login rewards, promotional giveaways or an alternative method of entry such as a mail-in request — commonly referred to as "no purchase necessary." Nothing on this site should be read as a statement that any specific outcome, prize or redemption is guaranteed; casino-style games involve chance, and results vary.

Eligibility, legality and your responsibility

Sweepstakes casinos are governed largely at the state level in the United States rather than under one nationwide law. Some states permit most operators to serve residents, some states have taken enforcement action or restricted the model, and individual operators frequently decide for themselves which states they will and won't serve. These rules change, sometimes without much notice, so nothing on this page or elsewhere on lacmoreau.com should be treated as confirmation that a particular platform is legal for you to use in your state. You are responsible for checking an operator's own eligibility list, age requirements — generally 18 or older, though some operators require 21 or older — and terms of service before registering anywhere.

This site does not provide legal or tax advice. Prize redemptions may carry tax implications under federal and state rules, and readers should keep their own records and consult a qualified professional or official guidance if they have questions. If you're concerned about your play or spending habits, our Responsible Gambling page has further resources.

Accuracy of content and changes to this page

We take reasonable care to keep offer details, ratings and state-availability notes current as of {{ local_date(page.updated_at) }}, but bonus terms, coin values, eligible states and redemption processes change frequently and are set entirely by each operator. Always confirm current terms directly on the operator's own site before signing up or making any purchase. We may update these terms, our reviews or our rankings at any time without prior notice, and continued use of lacmoreau.com after changes are published means you accept the current version.

Limitation of responsibility

lacmoreau.com provides information "as is" for general research purposes. We do not guarantee that any listed platform will remain available, that any offer will still be valid when you visit an operator's site, or that any prize redemption will be processed in a particular way or timeframe. We are not liable for losses, disputes or account issues arising from your use of any third-party platform listed or linked from this site — those matters are between you and the operator in question, governed by that operator's own terms.
