Terms and Conditions – Social Casino

These terms and conditions govern your use of newtothestreet.tv ("the Site"), an independent comparison and review platform focused on sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms available to players in the United States. By continuing to browse or use this Site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

The Site is operated as an independent editorial service. We are not a sweepstakes casino, a social casino, or any form of gaming operator. We do not accept coin purchases, process redemptions, or hold player funds of any kind. All gaming activities take place on the third-party platforms we review.

Who We Are and What This Site Does

newtothestreet.tv researches, reviews, and compares sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms operating under the promotional sweepstakes model in the US. Our editorial team — led by Zuri Coleman — evaluates platforms on criteria including game variety, welcome offers, redemption processes, and the overall experience available to US players.

We publish ratings, ranked lists, and written assessments to help readers make informed choices. Nothing published here constitutes a guarantee of any outcome, prize, or redemption. Sweepstakes casino games involve chance, and results are never certain.

You can read more about our approach and the people behind this Site on the About Us page.

Affiliate and Commercial Relationships

This Site participates in affiliate programmes. When you click through to a third-party platform and create an account or make a purchase, we may receive a commission or other compensation from that operator. This is how the Site is funded.

Commercial relationships do not determine our rankings or ratings. Operators cannot purchase a higher editorial score, a more favourable write-up, or a position on our ranked lists. Our assessments reflect our independent research and are subject to revision whenever our findings change. Where we have a commercial relationship with an operator, that relationship is disclosed on the relevant page rather than buried in fine print.

All offers, bonuses, and promotional details shown on this Site — including Gold Coin packages, Sweepstakes Coin bonuses, and welcome offers — are sourced from the operators themselves and are subject to each operator's own terms and conditions. We do our best to keep this information accurate and current, but details can change. Always verify the current terms directly with the operator before participating.

Editorial Independence and Accuracy

Our editorial team researches and reviews platforms independently. We do not reproduce operator marketing copy as editorial fact, and we do not present advertised claims as verified results. Where we describe an offer, we cite the material conditions alongside it — eligibility requirements, minimum purchase thresholds, redemption limits, and any geographic restrictions we are aware of.

We do not claim to have conducted real-money transactions or deposited funds at the platforms we review. Our assessments are based on research, verification of publicly available terms, and ongoing monitoring of platform offerings. Ratings reflect our editorial judgement as of the date shown on each page and may be updated as platforms evolve.

If you believe any information on this Site is inaccurate or out of date, please use the Contact Us page to let us know.

Sweepstakes Model — How It Works

The platforms reviewed on this Site operate under a promotional sweepstakes model, not as licensed real-money gambling sites. Understanding this distinction is important before you engage with any of the platforms we cover.

Gold Coins (GC) and equivalent virtual currency are used for entertainment play. They have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
Sweepstakes Coins (SC) and equivalent promotional currency can be accumulated through gameplay and, subject to each operator's terms, may be redeemable for prizes including gift cards or cash equivalents.
No purchase is necessary. Legitimate sweepstakes casinos offer an alternative method of entry (AMOE) — typically a postal mail-in request — so that participation does not require a coin purchase. The exact AMOE process varies by operator; check each platform's terms for details.
Purchasing coin packages is optional. Buying Gold Coins or similar currency may come with bonus Sweepstakes Coins as a promotional award, but spending money is not required to receive or accumulate Sweepstakes Coins.

This model is what legally distinguishes sweepstakes casinos from traditional real-money online gambling under most US state laws. It does not, however, mean these platforms are permitted in every state.

Geographic Availability and Legal Standing

Availability of sweepstakes casinos varies significantly by state. Some states permit most operators; others have enacted restrictions or taken enforcement actions; and some operators choose not to serve certain states as a matter of their own policy. Laws and operator eligibility lists change frequently.

This Site does not confirm that any specific platform is legal or available in your state. We do not offer legal advice. Before creating an account with any platform we review, you should:

Check the operator's own list of eligible and excluded states.
Review any applicable state laws or regulations in your jurisdiction.
Verify that you meet the age requirements — most operators require players to be at least 18 years old, and some require 21 or older, either across all states or in specific jurisdictions.

Nothing on this Site should be read as a representation that any platform is available to you or that your use of it would comply with applicable law. If in doubt, consult the operator's terms directly or seek appropriate legal guidance.

Prizes, Redemptions, and Taxes

Redemption of Sweepstakes Coins or equivalent promotional currency for prizes is subject to each operator's terms and conditions. Common requirements across the platforms we review include:

Minimum redemption thresholds (the amount of SC you must accumulate before a redemption request can be made)
Identity verification — most reputable platforms require government-issued photo ID and, in some cases, proof of address before processing any redemption
Processing times, which vary by platform and payment method
Geographic restrictions that may prevent redemption in certain states

Prize redemptions may be taxable under federal and state tax law. Tax obligations depend on your circumstances, the nature of the prize, and the rules of the state in which you reside. Players are responsible for understanding and meeting their own tax obligations. We recommend keeping records of any prizes received and consulting official IRS guidance or a qualified tax adviser if you are uncertain about your reporting requirements.

This Site does not process or facilitate redemptions. All redemption requests are handled exclusively by the individual operators.

Responsible Play

Even though sweepstakes casinos do not constitute real-money gambling under the sweepstakes model, they involve casino-style games that some people find difficult to manage. We encourage all readers to approach these platforms thoughtfully.

Our Responsible Gambling page includes practical guidance on setting limits, recognising problematic patterns of play, and finding support resources. We recommend reviewing it before spending time or money on any gaming platform.
