Offers can change and may depend on your state.

What BigPirate’s Rules Say

BigPirate is operated by Rafflefy Limited, a Cyprus company that the terms and sweepstakes rules name as the company and sweepstakes sponsor. Games use Gold Coins for social play and Sweeps Coins for sweepstakes play. The site also has Rum and Extra Sweeps Coins Spins for its island and progression features. Sweeps Coins cannot be bought. They come free with some Gold Coin packages, by mail, or as rewards on the platform.

Players must be at least 21, or the age of majority where they live if that is higher, and physically in the United States. The terms (last revised October 2025) exclude 14 states, including Iowa, which few other sites exclude.

Sweeps Coins must be played at least once before winnings can be redeemed, and the operator may set higher playthrough requirements. Redemption starts at 100 Redeemable Sweeps Coins, each worth US$1. Every VIP tier has a US$2,500 daily cap, and monthly caps run from US$30,000 to US$60,000. The operator may require government ID and other checks before a redemption. Virtual assets unused for 40 days may be forfeited, and an account with no login for 60 days becomes inactive, which forfeits its Sweeps Coins.
