Sweeps Rules
These rules govern the sweepstakes promotions offered on Tapout Gaming, and they sit alongside our Terms & Conditions. Taking part means you accept both. Where they disagree on a sweepstakes question, this page wins.
1. Sponsor
The sponsor of these promotions is Tapout Gaming, which runs them and is solely responsible for them. They are void where prohibited by law.
No party other than Tapout Gaming sponsors, runs, or administers any promotion on this platform, selects winners, or holds or pays out player funds. In these rules, “Platform Parties” means Tapout Gaming together with its affiliates, parent and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, contractors, subcontractors, licensors, suppliers, and service providers.
2. Who can enter
To take part you must:
- Be at least 21 years old;
- Be a legal resident of the United States, other than Washington, Idaho, Michigan and Nevada, and other than any state or territory where these promotions are prohibited;
- Hold one Tapout Gaming account, in your own name, in good standing;
- Not be an employee, contractor, officer, or agent of Tapout Gaming or of any operator we carry, nor a member of their household.
One account per person, per household, and per device. Duplicate accounts are closed and their entries voided.
3. What you are playing with
- Sweep Coins (SC) are the entries. They play the Games, they accumulate when you win, and they are what a redemption pays out against.
- Bonus credit is promotional balance. It plays exactly like SC and is tracked separately so we can tell a bonus from a purchase, and it carries the conditions of whichever promotion issued it.
4. Getting entries without paying
- Promotional awards. Bonuses, giveaways, and promotions we run.
5. How outcomes are decided
Game outcomes come from the random number generators of the third-party operators whose titles we carry. Nothing about your balance, your tier, or how much you have purchased changes an outcome.
6. Prize redemption
Redemptions follow the house rules, in full:
- The minimum redemption is 100 SC.
- Requests are open 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM PT — redemption hours run to 5 PM, and a request must be in at least 30 minutes before that close so it can be processed the same day.
- One redemption per account every 24 hours.
- Your cap is set by the amount last sent to that Game:
- A game funded with under 10 SC cannot be redeemed from at all.
- 10 SC to 75 SC funded redeems up to 200 SC per day.
- 76 SC to 200 SC funded redeems up to 350 SC per day.
- 201 SC and above redeems up to 500 SC per day.
- Where a promotion funded the balance, the minimum redemption is twice your last purchase, and never less than 100 SC.
- The maximum jackpot payout is 5,000 SC per player. A balance above that is voided and is not redeemable.
- Every redemption is reviewed by an administrator and is subject to identity verification before it is released.
- Playthrough applies: you must have played at least the amount of your last purchase plus any bonus attached to it.
Verification
Before a prize is paid we may ask for government photo ID, proof of address, a taxpayer identification number where reporting requires one, and confirmation that a payment method belongs to you. A request that is not completed within 30 days may be cancelled and the prize forfeited.
Taxes
Prizes are your income to report. Where the law requires it we will issue a Form 1099 and may be obliged to withhold. We do not give tax advice.
7. Disqualification
We may void entries, cancel a prize, and close an account for multi-accounting, using someone else’s payment method or identity, automated play, exploiting a bug or an operator malfunction, collusion, chargeback abuse, or any attempt to interfere with how entries are decided. Where fraud, a technical failure, or anything else compromises the integrity of a promotion, we may suspend or modify it.
8. Liability
By taking part you release the Platform Parties and the operators we carry from liability for loss, injury, or damage arising from taking part in a promotion or from accepting or using a prize, to the extent the law allows. We are not responsible for entries lost, delayed, or corrupted in transmission, nor for an operator’s own downtime.
Platform Parties who are not parties to these rules are intended third-party beneficiaries of this release and may enforce it directly.
9. Changes and questions
We may change these rules. The version on this page, with the date at the top, is the one that applies. Questions go to our Contact page, and suspected fraud goes to Anti-Fraud.
