Terms and Conditions – Social Casino

These terms and conditions govern your use of authoritymovinggroup.com ("the Site," "we," "us"). By browsing or using any part of this site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. We may update these terms from time to time; the date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

What This Site Is and What It Is Not

Social Casino is an independent comparison and information resource covering sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms available to players in the United States. We research, review and rank platforms using a consistent editorial process, and we publish that information to help adults make informed choices.

We are not a sweepstakes casino operator, a gambling platform, or a licensed gaming authority. We do not process transactions, hold virtual currency, or facilitate any form of wagering. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, financial advice, or a guarantee of any outcome.

Who May Use This Site

You must be at least 18 years old to use this site. Some platforms we cover require users to be 21 or older; those requirements are noted in the relevant reviews.
You are responsible for confirming that sweepstakes casino platforms are available and permissible in your state or jurisdiction before creating an account with any operator.
Use of this site is intended for adults seeking information about social and sweepstakes casino platforms for entertainment and research purposes only.

Commercial Relationships and Editorial Independence

Some of the platforms listed on this site pay us a commission if you visit their site or register an account through a link on our pages. This is how we fund our research and keep the site free to use.

Commission does not determine rankings. Platforms are assessed on their own merits — game variety, welcome offers, redemption process, transparency of terms, and availability to US players. A platform that pays a higher rate does not earn a higher position; a platform with a weaker offering will not appear near the top of our lists regardless of commercial relationship. You can read more about how we assess platforms on our best sweepstakes casinos page.

Where platforms display headline offers — such as Gold Coins, Sweepstakes Coins, free spins or welcome bonuses — those offers are drawn from information supplied by the operators. Terms, availability and conditions change; always verify the current offer directly on the operator's site before registering.

How the Sweepstakes Model Works — A Note for New Visitors

Sweepstakes casinos operate under a promotional sweepstakes model that is legally distinct from traditional real-money online gambling. Understanding this distinction is important before you use any information on this site.

Most platforms use a dual-currency system:

Gold Coins (GC) — virtual currency used for entertainment play. They have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
Sweepstakes Coins (SC) — a separate promotional currency that, subject to the platform's terms, may be redeemable for prizes including gift cards or cash equivalents.

A key feature of legitimate sweepstakes promotions in the US is the no purchase necessary principle. Platforms are generally required to offer a free alternative method of entry (AMOE) — such as a mail-in request — so that participation does not depend on buying virtual currency packages. This distinction is what separates the sweepstakes model from traditional gambling under most state laws.

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. Always check the operator's current terms and your state's rules before registering.

Accuracy and Limitations of Our Information

We aim to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date. However, offers, terms, excluded states, age requirements, redemption thresholds, and payment methods can change at any time. We rely on information supplied by operators and on our own ongoing research; we do not guarantee that every detail is current at the moment you read it.

We do not test platforms by depositing, playing, or withdrawing. Our assessments are based on research and review of publicly available terms and platform features. We describe our approach as research and review, not hands-on testing.

Ratings shown on this site are our own editorial assessments. They are not customer review scores, and they are not endorsements of any particular outcome.

Links to Third-Party Sites

This site contains links to third-party sweepstakes casino platforms and other external resources. Once you leave this site, you are subject to the terms, privacy policies, and rules of those third-party sites. We have no control over their content, and we accept no responsibility for anything that occurs on a third-party platform.

We encourage you to read the full terms and conditions of any platform before registering or making any purchase.

Intellectual Property

All text, editorial ratings, comparison tables, and original content published on this site are the property of Social Casino or its licensors. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute any part of this site's content without prior written permission. Platform names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification and review purposes only.

Responsible Play

Sweepstakes and social casino games are designed for adult entertainment. Although no real-money wagering is involved in the sweepstakes model, extended play of any game of chance can develop habitual patterns. If you or someone you know is finding it difficult to manage time or spending on social casino platforms, support is available.

We publish guidance and links to support organisations on our responsible gambling page. That page covers self-exclusion options, national helplines, and practical steps for maintaining healthy play habits.

Prize Redemption — What Readers Should Know

Platforms that allow Sweepstakes Coins to be redeemed for prizes impose conditions that vary by operator. Common requirements include:

A minimum redemption threshold (a set amount of SC must be accumulated before a request can be made).
Identity verification — most reputable platforms require a government-issued photo ID and may request proof of address before processing a redemption.
Geographic restrictions — some states are excluded from prize redemption even where the platform is otherwise accessible.
Processing times — redemptions are not instant; timelines depend on the operator and the payment method chosen.

Prize redemptions may also be taxable. Federal and state tax obligations can apply to prizes received through sweepstakes promotions. We are not tax advisers; if you have questions about your specific situation, consult a qualified tax professional or refer to IRS guidance on prizes and awards.
