What Big Shot Games’s Rules Say
Big Shot Games is operated by Big Shot Games Interactive, LLC. Gold Coins support entertainment play, while free Sweepstakes Coins can be used in promotional games and qualifying winnings redeemed for prizes. The official rules include a handwritten postal request using an account-specific request code.
Entrants must be at least 18 or any higher local minimum age. The terms name 15 excluded US states. Sweepstakes Coins require at least one playthrough, and the rules set 100 SC minimums for both cash and gift-card prizes, with age and identity checks before redemption.
The operator may limit redemptions to $1,000 per day and processes only one request per 48 hours. Sweepstakes Coins expire after 60 days without SC gameplay.
