Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions set out the basis on which you may use truheart.org (referred to here as "we," "us" or "Social Casinos"). By browsing this site, reading our reviews of sweepstakes casinos, or clicking through to any operator we cover, you accept the terms below. If you do not agree with them, please do not continue using the site.

This page explains what Social Casinos is, what it is not, how our content on sweepstakes and social casinos is put together, and where responsibility sits between us, the operators we write about, and you as the reader.

What Social Casinos Is — and What It Is Not

Social Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource covering sweepstakes casinos and social casinos operating in the US market. We publish reviews, comparisons and guides about platforms such as those listed on our new sweepstakes casinos page, along with general education about how the sweepstakes model works.

We are not a casino, a sweepstakes operator, a gaming platform or a payment processor. We do not run games, accept deposits, hold player funds or issue prizes. Every game, coin package, bonus offer and redemption process described on this site belongs to the third-party operator in question, not to Social Casinos. Any account you create, purchase you make, or prize you attempt to redeem is a matter strictly between you and that operator, governed by that operator's own terms and conditions.

Understanding the Sweepstakes Model We Write About

A recurring point of confusion for new readers is the difference between sweepstakes casinos and traditional real-money online casinos. Sweepstakes casinos operate under a promotional sweepstakes model rather than direct real-money wagering. Typically, players use two forms of virtual currency:

• Gold Coins (or an equivalent) — used for entertainment play only, cannot be redeemed for cash or prizes.
• Sweepstakes Coins (or an equivalent, often called SC) — obtained through free promotional means, including a no-purchase method of entry, and which may in some circumstances be redeemable for cash prizes once eligibility and verification requirements are met.

Content on this site describes this model as accurately as we can based on publicly available information from each operator. It does not constitute legal advice, and we do not confirm that any specific platform is licensed to operate as a sweepstakes promotion in your particular state.

Availability Varies by State — Read This Before You Sign Up

Sweepstakes casinos are not available, or not permitted, in every US state. Operators set their own eligibility rules based on their own legal assessments, and these rules change over time as state laws and enforcement positions evolve. Nothing on Social Casinos should be read as a statement that any operator is legal or available in your state. Before creating an account with any platform mentioned on this site, check that operator's own terms for its current list of eligible and excluded states, and satisfy yourself that participation is permitted where you live. If you are unsure of your legal position, consult your state's official guidance or a qualified professional rather than relying on this page.

Age Requirements and Who May Use This Site

This site is intended for adults only. Depending on the operator, sweepstakes casinos generally require players to be at least 18 years old, and some platforms or states set a minimum age of 21. You must meet the minimum age required both by Social Casinos and by any operator you choose to visit before creating an account. We do not knowingly direct content at, or collect information from, anyone under the legal age of majority in their state.

Accuracy of Reviews, Ratings and Offer Details

We research publicly available information — including welcome offers, coin packages, eligible states, and game libraries — to compile the reviews, comparisons and editorial ratings shown on this site, such as those covering Spinblitz, Lone Star, Casino.Click and the other platforms on our sweepstakes casino comparison page. Offer details, promotional terms, coin amounts and eligibility conditions are set by the operators themselves and can change without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current as of our last review date, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate at the exact moment you visit an operator's site. Always confirm current terms, redemption thresholds, verification requirements and state eligibility directly on the operator's own website before signing up or making any purchase.

Editorial ratings reflect our own assessment criteria and are not customer review scores, guarantees of quality, or predictions of outcomes. No content on this site should be read as a promise of winnings, faster redemptions, or better odds at any platform.

How We Are Compensated

Social Casinos may receive commission from some of the operators we cover when a reader clicks through and creates an account. This is a standard arrangement in the comparison-site industry, and it does not change how we rank or describe any platform. Commission is never a factor in our editorial ratings, and operators cannot pay for a more favorable review or a higher position on our lists. We disclose this relationship here and, where relevant, on the pages where paid offers appear, so you understand how the site sustains itself.

No Purchase Necessary — A Point We Will Not Obscure

Legitimate sweepstakes casinos generally allow participation without any purchase, typically through an alternative method of entry described in the operator's official rules. Nothing on Social Casinos should be interpreted as suggesting that buying coins is required to play, to enter a promotion, or to become eligible for a prize redemption. If any page appears to suggest otherwise, refer to the operator's own terms, which always govern.

Redemptions, Taxes and Identity Verification

Where a platform allows Sweepstakes Coins to be redeemed for cash or prizes, that process is typically subject to minimum redemption thresholds, identity verification (such as a government-issued photo ID and sometimes proof of address), and the operator's own processing timelines. We do not process redemptions, verify identities, or handle payouts on behalf of any operator, and we cannot influence how quickly or whether a redemption request is approved. Redeemed prizes may also carry federal or state tax obligations; readers should keep their own records and consult official tax guidance or a tax professional rather than relying on anything published here.

Links to Third-Party Operators

This site contains links to third-party sweepstakes and social casino operators. Once you leave truheart.org, your use of that operator's site is governed entirely by that operator's own terms of service, privacy policy and promotional rules — not by this document. We are not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, security or business practices of any third-party site we link to.

Responsible Play

Casino-style games involve chance, and no outcome is guaranteed regardless of how a promotion or coin package is presented. If you or someone you know is concerned about gaming habits, our Responsible Gambling page has further information and resources.

Limitation of Liability

Content on this site is provided for general information purposes and is offered on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind as to accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Social Casinos and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on this site's content, your use of any third-party operator, or any decision you make based on information found here.

Changes to These Terms

We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in the sweepstakes casino industry, in applicable law, or in how we operate the site. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the last update. Continued use of Social Casinos after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
