Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of unbag.net and the content published on it. By accessing any page of this site, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. We update these terms from time to time, so check back if you have any questions about what applies at any given point.

Who We Are and What This Site Does

unbag.net is an independent comparison and review website covering sweepstakes casinos and social casinos available to players in the United States. Our editorial team — led by Adam Prescott — researches, reviews and ranks platforms that operate under a promotional sweepstakes model. We do not operate any casino or gaming platform ourselves, and we do not handle any funds, coins, prizes or player accounts on behalf of any operator listed here.

The platforms we cover use a dual-currency model: a free play currency (typically called Gold Coins or equivalent) and a sweepstakes currency (typically called Sweepstakes Coins or equivalent). Sweepstakes Coins may in some cases be redeemed for prizes, subject to each operator's individual terms. None of the sites we cover are real-money casinos in the traditional sense, and we do not describe them as such.

Editorial Independence and Commercial Relationships

unbag.net earns revenue through referral arrangements with some of the operators featured on this site. If you click a link to an operator and subsequently register or make a purchase, we may receive a commission. This does not affect the cost to you in any way.

Commercial relationships do not determine how operators are ranked or reviewed. Our editorial ratings reflect our own assessment based on independently researched criteria including, but not limited to, game variety, welcome offer value, redemption process, and user experience. Commission does not buy position on this site.

Offers shown on this site — including welcome bonuses, Gold Coin packages and Sweepstakes Coin promotions — are subject to each operator's own terms and conditions. Offers may change without notice. Always verify current terms directly with the operator before registering or making any purchase.

Accuracy, Completeness and Updates

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this site accurate and current. However, we cannot guarantee that all details — including offer terms, eligible states, age requirements, redemption thresholds and payment methods — are accurate at the precise moment you read them. The sweepstakes casino market changes frequently, and operator terms are updated regularly.

Content on this site reflects research carried out up to the date shown on each page. It is not legal advice, financial advice or a guarantee of any outcome. If you have questions about whether a specific platform is available in your state, or about the tax implications of any prize redemption, consult the operator's terms directly and, where appropriate, seek independent legal or financial guidance.

We do not claim to have deposited money, played games, or redeemed prizes on any platform. Our assessments are based on research and review of publicly available information. Where we say a platform was "reviewed" or "assessed," that reflects editorial research, not first-hand play or financial activity.

Sweepstakes Model and Legal Framework

Sweepstakes casinos are not the same as licensed real-money online casinos. They operate under a promotional sweepstakes model that is legally distinct from traditional gambling in the United States. A key feature of legitimate sweepstakes promotions is that no purchase is necessary to participate — players can generally obtain Sweepstakes Coins through a free alternative method of entry (AMOE), such as a mail-in request.

Availability of sweepstakes casino platforms varies by state. Some states restrict or prohibit this type of platform, and operators may choose not to serve certain jurisdictions based on their own legal assessment. Laws in this area change frequently. It is your responsibility to confirm that a platform is available and lawful in your state before registering or participating.

We do not tell you that any specific site is definitively legal for you to use. We encourage you to read the operator's eligibility terms carefully and to consult state-specific rules if you have any uncertainty.

Age Requirements

All content on this site is intended for adults only. Most sweepstakes casino operators require users to be at least 18 years old to register and participate. Some operators set a minimum age of 21, either across all states or in specific jurisdictions where local laws or internal policies require it.

If you are under the applicable minimum age for a platform in your state, you must not register or participate on that platform. We do not direct any content on this site toward minors.

Prize Redemption, Taxes and Identity Verification

Sweepstakes Coins that are eligible for prize redemption are subject to each operator's specific redemption terms, which typically include minimum thresholds, identity verification requirements, and geographic restrictions. Redemption is not instant or automatic, and terms differ between platforms.

Before redeeming prizes, most platforms require identity verification (often called KYC — Know Your Customer). This typically involves submitting a government-issued photo ID and, in some cases, proof of address. Details that do not match your account may result in delays or denial of redemption.

Prize redemptions may constitute taxable income under US federal and state tax law. The amount you owe — if anything — depends on your individual circumstances, the size of any redemption, and the rules in your state. We do not provide tax advice. Keep records of any redemptions and consult official IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional if you are unsure of your obligations.

No Guarantees of Outcomes

Casino-style games involve chance. Nothing on this site implies, suggests or guarantees that you will win prizes, redeem Sweepstakes Coins, or receive any particular outcome from playing on any platform we cover. Welcome offers and promotional coins improve your starting position on a platform — they do not affect game outcomes or the probability of any result.

Do not play sweepstakes casino games with money you cannot afford to spend on entertainment. For guidance on managing your play, visit our responsible gambling page.

Third-Party Websites and Operator Responsibility

This site contains links to third-party operator websites. When you follow a link and leave unbag.net, you are subject to the terms, privacy policies and practices of the destination site. We are not responsible for the content, availability or conduct of any third-party platform, and our inclusion of a platform in our rankings or reviews does not constitute an endorsement of every aspect of its operations.

Disputes between you and an operator — including those relating to accounts, coins, prizes or redemptions — are a matter between you and that operator. We are not a party to any such dispute and cannot intervene on your behalf.
