What SweepStars’s Rules Say
SweepStars offers Gold Coin entertainment play and promotional Sweepstakes Coins that can generate redeemable prizes. The homepage also calls SC Stars Coins and advertises 15,000 GC plus 1 SC for new players. Chipnwin LLC is the legal entity named in the terms.
Players must be at least 18 or meet the applicable local minimum. The dedicated Restricted States page excludes fourteen states, while the sweepstakes-rules eligibility section lists only four.

Eligible SC must generally be played once in a slots game and the general minimum prize redemption is 100 SC. Verification is required. The rules describe ACH transfers, eligible Visa/Mastercard debit cards and gift cards when available, allow one request per 24 hours and reserve a US$1,000 daily cap.
