State Restrictions

Updated July 23, 2026

Why state rules matter — what you need to know now

Laws governing sweepstakes-style casinos vary across the United States. Some states permit sweepstakes gaming with specific safeguards, others restrict or prohibit it, and a few impose temporary limits during legal reviews or regulatory updates. That means your ability to register, play with Sweeps Coins, redeem prizes, or claim certain promotions can change depending on where you are located. Always verify eligibility before creating an account or making a purchase, and review the Terms and Conditions tied to each offer.

How state differences affect your play

State regulations can influence nearly every part of the player experience, including:

• Gameplay availability — some games or features may be disabled in certain jurisdictions.
• Promotions — deposit matches, free Sweeps Coins, and time-limited bonuses may be blocked or altered by state rules.
• Sweeps Coin usage — minimum redemption thresholds, wagering requirements, and payout methods can vary by state.
• Prize redemption — prize delivery methods and processing times can depend on local law.
• Account access — accounts may be temporarily suspended or restricted if a location check shows you are in a prohibited area.

These are not guarantees of outcomes or winnings. They are regulatory impacts that determine what you can do on the platform.

Eligible states — how to tell if you can play

Many states within the United States permit participation in sweepstakes-style gaming, but permissibility varies and changes over time. The best way to confirm eligibility is to:

• Check the site’s eligibility notice at account registration.
• Use the geographic verification tool when prompted during sign-up or deposit.
• Review the specific Terms and Conditions for the promotion you want to claim, including wagering and redemption rules. If you’re unsure, contact customer support before registering. For direct help, reach out to our live chat or email support@threelz.com .

Restricted states — why participation may be blocked

Some states impose restrictions or outright prohibit sweepstakes gaming because of statutory definitions, licensing rules, or precedents set by local authorities and courts. Restrictions may be tied to:

• State gambling statutes that do not recognize sweepstakes exceptions.
• Consumer-protection rules that limit prize distribution methods.
• Regulatory uncertainty or active enforcement actions.

Because laws change, we publish up-to-date restrictions at account entry and during deposit. If your state is restricted, you will not be able to register, deposit, or use Sweeps Coins until you are physically located in a permitted jurisdiction and verified.

Temporary restrictions — what they are and why they happen

Temporary restrictions can appear while regulators review online sweepstakes frameworks, during litigation, or when a new law is enacted. Temporary restrictions may:

• Pause sign-ups from specific states.
• Disable certain promotions that are under review.
• Limit Sweeps Coin redemptions until legal clarity is reached.

These limitations are typically short-term but require compliance. We will notify affected players via email and in-account messages, and we will post updates where available.

How geographic verification works — what we check and why

To ensure compliance with state rules, platforms use robust geolocation and verification tools. Common checks include:

• IP address analysis to estimate your network location.
• GPS and Wi-Fi positioning for mobile and desktop devices.
• Mobile carrier data and device-level geolocation for mobile users.
• Billing address checks, bank verification, and identity documents for prize redemption.

If verification determines you are in a restricted state, access will be blocked or limited, and deposits or withdrawals may be paused while we resolve the issue.

Account limitations you may encounter

Depending on regulatory requirements and our verification results, your account may face limits such as:

• No ability to register or fund your account from certain states.
• Limits on bet sizes, game availability, or Sweeps Coin play.
• Temporary suspension of account activity until you provide proof of lawful location.
• Withholding of prize payouts until identity and location checks are completed.

We apply these measures to comply with state rules and protect player accounts.

What happens if you move or travel into a restricted jurisdiction

If you move or travel into a restricted state while you have an active account, the platform may:

• Prevent additional deposits and play while you remain in the restricted area.
• Allow you to access Gold Coins for entertainment only, where permitted.
• Restrict Sweeps Coin play or prize redemption until you return to an eligible jurisdiction and pass re-verification.
• Temporarily freeze withdrawals until identity and location checks are completed.

If you change your permanent address, update your account information and provide any requested documentation promptly to avoid delays. If you are traveling, consider pausing play until you are back in an eligible area.

How state rules affect Sweeps Coins, promotions, and prize redemption

Regulatory differences can change the mechanics of promotions:

• Minimum redemption thresholds for Sweeps Coins may vary by state.
• Wagering requirements, such as 20x for some promotional Sweeps Coins, are specified in each offer’s Terms and Conditions.
• Some promotional bundles may include Gold Coins for entertainment and Sweeps Coins for prize eligibility; Gold Coins are not redeemable for cash.
• Prize fulfillment methods—gift cards, cash-equivalent prizes, or other prize equivalents—depend on legal constraints in your state.

Always read the full terms for each promotion. For example, our sign-up offer provides 3,000 Gold Coins and 3 Sweeps Coins, with specific playthrough and redemption rules shown in the offer terms.

How to check your eligibility step by step

1. Attempt account registration and complete the geolocation prompts—this is the fastest way to confirm eligibility.
2. Review the Terms and Conditions associated with the promotion you want to claim.
3. Use the platform’s state-restriction notice at the top of the registration page.
4. Contact customer support via chat or email support@threelz.com if you need clarification or a manual review.

If you are blocked, support will explain the specific restriction and any steps you can take.

Staying informed about regulatory changes

Rules can change quickly. To stay informed:

• Sign up for platform emails and push notifications to receive regulatory updates and service notices.
• Check the “News” or “State Restrictions” pages regularly.
• Follow official state regulatory agencies for legal updates in your state of residence. Remember, updates to eligibility will be reflected in account notices and in the Terms and Conditions for each promotion.

Contacting support about state-specific rules

If you have questions about eligibility, temporary restrictions, or prize redemption:

• Use live chat for the fastest response during support hours.
• Email support@threelz.com for detailed inquiries, and include your account email, state of residence, and a brief description of the issue. Support can help explain why a restriction applies and what documentation may be required to restore full access.

Practical examples to illustrate common scenarios

• Example 1: If you register while physically located in an eligible jurisdiction, you can claim the welcome offer, but if you later travel to a restricted state, the site may block additional deposits until you return and re-verify.
• Example 2: A temporary legal review in a state may pause a specific promotion; you will be notified and any Sweeps Coins already credited will be subject to the promotion’s stated terms and any applicable limits.
• Example 3: If you request a prize redemption while your account shows a restricted location, fulfillment may be delayed until you complete identity and location verification and confirm eligibility.

Terms and conditions and legal disclaimers

All offers and account privileges are subject to the platform’s Terms and Conditions and any state-specific restrictions. Promotions include specific eligibility windows, wagering requirements, maximum bet limits, and expiry dates. Sweeps Coins and Gold Coins are distinct currencies—Gold Coins are for entertainment and are not redeemable for cash. Sweeps Coin redemptions may have minimum thresholds and required playthroughs. Review the full Terms and Conditions before playing or claiming a promotion.
