Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions explain how shop-ava.com works, what you can expect from the content on this site, and the limits of what we do. By using shop-ava.com, you agree to the points set out below. If anything here is unclear, our Contact Us page is the quickest way to reach us.
What this site is — and isn't
shop-ava.com is an independent comparison and information resource covering sweepstakes (social) casinos, including brands positioned as alternatives to Modo.us such as Crown Coins, Spinblitz, Lone Star, and the other operators featured in our rankings. We publish comparison tables, scored mini-reviews and general explainers about how the sweepstakes model works.
We are not a casino, a sweepstakes operator, a gambling business, or a payment processor. We do not accept wagers, issue Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins, process redemptions, or hold player funds of any kind. Every transaction, account, bonus and redemption happens directly between you and the operator you choose — never through shop-ava.com. Nothing on this site should be read as an offer to gamble or as gambling activity of any kind: sweepstakes casinos operate under promotional sweepstakes law, not as licensed real-money gambling sites, and we describe them accordingly throughout the site.
Editorial independence and how we earn money
shop-ava.com may earn a commission when a reader signs up with an operator through a link on this site. This is standard for comparison sites and it does not cost you anything extra. Commercial relationships do not determine our rankings, ratings or the order options appear in — a brand paying us does not move it up the table, and a brand we do not have a relationship with is not marked down. Our Sites Like Modo: Best Sweepstakes Casino Alternatives page sets out the criteria we use to score each option, and that scoring is applied consistently.
Accuracy of the information we publish
Sweepstakes casino terms change often — welcome offers, Gold Coin package pricing, Sweeps Coin redemption minimums, game libraries and state availability all move over time, sometimes with little notice. We check the details we publish at the time of writing, and each page carries a visible "last updated" date so you can see how current it is. Even so, we cannot guarantee that every figure, bonus term or excluded-state list remains accurate after publication.
- Always confirm the current welcome offer, Gold Coin pricing and any first-purchase terms directly on the operator's own site before signing up.
- Always check whether your state is currently eligible — excluded-state lists for sweepstakes casinos change, and we cannot promise the list on this site matches the operator's list on the day you read it.
- Treat editorial ratings and scores as our independent assessment, not as a guarantee of a particular experience, prize, or redemption outcome.
We never guarantee that any bonus will be honored exactly as described, that a redemption request will be approved, or how long a payout will take. Those outcomes depend entirely on the operator and, where relevant, on identity verification and the terms attached to your account.
No purchase necessary — and no promise of winnings
Every sweepstakes casino covered on this site operates on a No Purchase Necessary basis: free Sweeps Coins are available through signup bonuses, daily login rewards and Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE) or mail-in requests, and Gold Coin packages are always an optional purchase, never a requirement to play, participate, or redeem. Nothing on shop-ava.com should be read as suggesting a purchase improves your odds of winning or is needed to take part.
Gold Coins are for entertainment play only and carry no cash value. Sweeps Coins may be redeemable for cash prizes or gift cards once an operator's minimum balance and playthrough conditions are met — terms that vary by site and that you should read in full on the operator's own terms page. We do not guarantee any prize, redemption approval or payout timeframe on behalf of any operator listed here.
Eligibility and responsible play
The content on this site is intended for adults aged 18 or older (21 or older where an individual operator requires it) who are located in a state where sweepstakes casino play is currently permitted. Sweepstakes availability varies by state and is subject to change; we do not encourage anyone to use a false location, false identity, or any other method to bypass an operator's state restrictions or identity verification checks.
If sweepstakes or social casino play stops being enjoyable, or starts to feel like a habit you can't control, tools like purchase limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are available directly through most operators. Free, confidential support is also available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on the tools and support options available.
Use of this website
You may browse and use shop-ava.com for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to scrape, copy or republish our content, ratings or comparison data without permission, and not to use the site in any way that could disrupt it for other readers or that involves attempting to circumvent an operator's eligibility checks.
All content, including comparison tables, scoring methodology and written reviews, is the property of shop-ava.com unless otherwise credited. Brand names, logos and offer details belong to their respective operators and are referenced here for comparison and identification purposes only.
Limitation of liability
We provide the information on this site "as is," without warranty as to its completeness or continued accuracy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, shop-ava.com is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site, your reliance on information published here, or your dealings with any third-party operator, including Crown Coins, Spinblitz, Lone Star, Free Spins, SplashCoins, MegaBonanza, Spree, Blitzmania, Card Crush, SweepKing or any other brand referenced on the site. Any dispute over an account, bonus, redemption or purchase must be raised directly with the operator concerned.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in the sweepstakes casino landscape, in our own practices, or in applicable law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of shop-ava.com after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Getting in touch
Questions about these terms, about a specific review, or about how a listed operator's offer works are best directed to us through the Contact Us page, or to the operator directly for anything account-specific. You can also read more about who publishes this site on our About Us page.
