Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of Social Casino at v12groupinc.com. By browsing or using this site, you agree to the terms set out below. Please read them carefully before relying on any information published here. If you have questions, you can reach us through the Contact Us page.
What This Site Is
Social Casino is an independent comparison and information website. We research, review and compare sweepstakes casinos and social casinos that operate in the United States using a promotional sweepstakes model. We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, hold player funds or process prize redemptions on behalf of any platform. Nothing on this site constitutes an invitation to gamble or a guarantee of any outcome.
Our editorial team reviews platforms for informational purposes only. Reviews reflect our independent assessment at the time of publication and are updated periodically. Because platform terms, promotions, game libraries and availability can change without notice, we encourage you to verify current details directly with each operator before registering or making any purchase.
Editorial Independence and Commercial Relationships
Some of the platforms featured on this site have a commercial relationship with us. We may receive a commission if you visit an operator's site through a link on this page and subsequently register or make a purchase. This arrangement does not determine which platforms we feature or how they are ranked. Our rankings reflect independent editorial assessment — commission does not buy position.
Where commercial relationships exist, we disclose them clearly. You can read more about how we evaluate platforms on our best sweepstakes casinos page.
Accuracy of Information
We take care to ensure the information on this site is accurate and up to date at the time of publication. However, we make no warranty — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy or suitability of any content for your specific circumstances. Offers, welcome bonuses, coin packages, eligible states and platform terms change frequently. Always check the operator's own terms and conditions before participating.
Editorial ratings published on this site are our own assessments. They are not customer-review scores, independent audit results or endorsements by any regulatory body.
Sweepstakes Casino Model — How It Works
The platforms we cover operate under a promotional sweepstakes model, not as licensed real-money gambling sites. Understanding this distinction matters before you use any of them.
- Gold Coins (or equivalent virtual currency): Used for entertainment play only. They have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
- Sweepstakes Coins (SC) or equivalent: A separate promotional currency that may, subject to each operator's terms, be redeemed for prizes such as gift cards or cash equivalents once minimum thresholds and verification requirements are met.
- No purchase necessary: Legitimate sweepstakes platforms offer an alternative method of entry (AMOE) — typically a free mail-in request — so participation does not require a purchase. Buying coin packages is optional.
- Redemption is not guaranteed: Prize redemption is subject to identity verification (KYC), minimum thresholds, geographic restrictions and each operator's terms. Not every player will meet every condition.
These platforms are not the same as state-licensed online casinos. Their legal basis differs, their consumer protections differ, and the experience of using them differs. Our site covers the sweepstakes model specifically; for a fuller explanation, see our guide to the best sweepstakes casinos in the US.
Availability and State-by-State Eligibility
Sweepstakes casinos are not available in every US state. Availability is governed by a combination of state law, operator policy and ongoing legal developments. Some states restrict or prohibit this model entirely; others permit it. Operators frequently update the list of states they serve.
We do not make blanket statements about legality. It is your responsibility to confirm that a platform is available in your state before registering. We recommend checking the operator's own eligibility page and, where you are uncertain, seeking independent legal guidance. Laws in this area change regularly.
Age Requirements
All platforms covered on this site are intended for adults only. Most sweepstakes casinos set a minimum age of 18; some require users to be at least 21, either across the board or in specific states where local law or platform policy sets a higher threshold. Age requirements are listed on each operator's site. Do not attempt to register if you do not meet the applicable minimum age in your state.
This site is not directed at minors. If you are under 18, please leave.
Tax Obligations
Prize redemptions from sweepstakes platforms may be taxable under US federal and state tax rules. Tax treatment depends on the nature and value of the prize and your personal circumstances. We do not provide tax advice. If you redeem prizes, we recommend keeping accurate records and consulting official IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
Responsible Play
Even though sweepstakes casinos do not involve traditional real-money wagering, casino-style games involve chance and outcomes are never guaranteed. If you find that playing affects your finances, mood or daily life, support is available. Our Responsible Gambling page lists resources that can help.
Third-Party Sites and Links
This site contains links to third-party platforms. Once you leave v12groupinc.com, you are subject to the terms, privacy policies and practices of those external sites. We are not responsible for the content, availability or conduct of any third-party platform. Links are provided for information only and do not constitute endorsement beyond what is stated in our reviews.

You may not reproduce, republish or redistribute our content without prior written permission. Brief quotation for news or commentary purposes, with attribution and a link to the original, is permitted under standard fair-use principles.

- Loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or any linked platform.
- Decisions made on the basis of information published here without independent verification.
- Changes to platform terms, offers or availability after the date of our last review.
- Any prize redemption outcome, identity verification outcome or account decision made by an operator.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
