Sweepstakes Rules
No purchase is necessary to play or to win. The summary below explains how the Storm.us sweepstakes promotion works - how you collect free Sweeps Coins, who is eligible, and how eligible Sweeps Coins are redeemed for prizes.
Gold Coins have no monetary value. Sweeps Coins are a free promotional bonus. 21+. Void where prohibited.
This page is an accessible plain-language summary. The complete, binding Official Sweepstakes Rules - including the full AMOE mailing address, the eligible-state list, prize odds, and the sponsor of record - are being finalized with counsel and will be published here before launch. If anything below conflicts with the Official Rules, the Official Rules govern. See the full Terms and Conditions.
1. No purchase necessary
No purchase is ever necessary to play Storm.us or to win prizes. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. Free Sweeps Coins are available through gameplay, the Welcome Pack, the Daily Login Ladder, the Storm Wheel, and the free mail-in alternative method of entry (AMOE). See the Free Coins page for every no-purchase entry method. Void where prohibited.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 21 years of age and physically located in an eligible US state at the time of play and redemption. You must be a natural person; no corporate or automated accounts. Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of Storm.us and its affiliates are not eligible. Age and location are verified at registration and again before any Sweeps Coin redemption.
3. Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins
Gold Coins (GC) are a virtual play currency provided for entertainment. They have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash, prizes, or anything of value. Sweeps Coins (SC) are a free promotional bonus and are never for sale. Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins are separate currencies and never convert into each other. Balances are tracked on an audited, double-entry ledger.
4. Prize redemption
Eligible Sweeps Coins (those that have met a 1x playthrough and are held by a verified, eligible player) may be redeemed for cash prizes (minimum 100 SC) or gift cards (minimum 50 SC). Before your first redemption you must complete identity verification (KYC): a valid government-issued photo ID, confirmation that you are 21 or over, and confirmation that your state of residence is eligible. Redemptions are reviewed before processing. Storm.us will never ask you to pay a fee to receive a prize.
5. Free mail-in entry (AMOE)
As a free alternative method of entry, you may request Sweeps Coins by mail with no purchase. Hand-print your full name, address, email, and date of birth on a plain 3" x 5" card, place it in a plain #10 envelope, and mail it to the address published in the Official Sweepstakes Rules. Each request is limited as described in the Official Rules. Requests must be from the entrant; mechanically reproduced or duplicate requests are not eligible.
6. Conduct and disqualification
Multiple accounts, automated tools, and any form of bonus abuse are prohibited. Attempting to circumvent any limit, verification requirement, or rule may result in disqualification and forfeiture of GC and SC balances. Storm.us reserves the right to suspend or close any account it reasonably determines has violated these rules or the Terms of Service.
7. Responsible play
If play stops being fun, free confidential help is available 24/7 at the National Problem Gambling Helpline: call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) or visit ncpgambling.org. Storm.us provides deposit limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion tools. See the Responsible Gaming page for more.
