1. What this site is
Casino Trust Center publishes editorial coverage of US sweepstakes and social casinos: state availability, operator terms, redemption mechanics and explanatory guides. We are not a gambling operator, we do not accept wagers, and we do not hold player funds. Nothing on this site is an offer to gamble or a guarantee of any outcome.
We are also not a law firm and not a regulator. Content describes what operators publish and what states have done; it does not tell you that a specific product is lawful for you.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or 21 where the operator or your state requires it, to follow links to an operator. Sweepstakes availability varies by state and by operator, and it is your responsibility to confirm that you may legally participate where you are located.
We do not provide workarounds for state restrictions. Using a VPN to access an excluded state is a breach of the operator's terms and may be a breach of law; the site will not help you do it.
3. Accuracy and updates
We work to keep pages current, and every page carries a verification date. Operators change terms, states change laws, and a page that was accurate on its date may be stale when you read it. The operator's own terms and your state's law are authoritative; our pages are a guide to them.
If you spot an error, tell us at editorial@casinotrustcenter.com. Corrections are made under the editorial policy.
4. No professional advice
Nothing here is legal, tax, financial or medical advice. Questions about whether a product is lawful for you, how a prize is taxed, or whether your play is becoming harmful should go to a qualified professional or a helpline, not to a comparison site.
5. Third-party operators
When you follow a link to an operator, you leave this site and enter a contract with that operator. Their terms, privacy policy and redemption rules govern. We do not control their decisions, cannot access your account, and cannot compel a payment.
This is the central limitation of the sweepstakes model, and we state it plainly rather than implying an oversight role we do not have.
6. Affiliate links
Some outbound links are affiliate links, which may pay us a commission if you open an account. That does not change what you pay, and it does not determine what we publish. The affiliate disclosure and the advertising policy set out the arrangement.
7. Intellectual property
The text, layout, tables and original graphics on this site are ours. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link. You may not republish substantial portions, scrape the site for content generation, or present our text as your own.
Brand names and logos referenced on the site belong to their owners and are used for identification only. A mention is not an endorsement, and the absence of a mention is not an accusation.
8. Acceptable use
- Do not attempt to access non-public parts of the site or its infrastructure.
- Do not scrape at a rate that degrades the service for others.
- Do not use the site to harass, defraud or impersonate anyone.
- Do not present our content as legal advice to a third party.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or complete, or that any operator referenced will accept you, process a redemption or remain available in your state.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising from your use of the site or from any transaction with an operator. This includes losses related to a refused redemption, a changed term or a state restriction. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid to use the site, which is zero.
11. Indemnity
If a claim arises from your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms, you agree to indemnify us against the resulting loss, to the extent permitted by law.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site changes. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which the publisher is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the courts of that jurisdiction.
