Sweeps Rules
These rules govern the sweepstakes promotions offered on The Vault Arcade, and they sit alongside our Terms & Conditions. Taking part means you accept both. Where they disagree on a sweepstakes question, this page wins.
1. Sponsor
The sponsor of these promotions is The Vault Arcade, which runs them and is solely responsible for them. They are void where prohibited by law.
No party other than The Vault Arcade sponsors, runs, or administers any promotion on this platform, selects winners, or holds or pays out player funds. In these rules, “Platform Parties” means The Vault Arcade together with its affiliates, parent and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, contractors, subcontractors, licensors, suppliers, and service providers.
2. Who can enter
To take part you must:
- Be at least 21 years old;
- Be a legal resident of any of the 50 United States, other than any territory where these promotions are prohibited;
- Hold one The Vault Arcade account, in your own name, in good standing;
- Not be an employee, contractor, officer, or agent of The Vault Arcade or of any operator we carry, nor a member of their household.
One account per person, per household, and per device. Duplicate accounts are closed and their entries voided.
3. What you are playing with
- Sweep Coins (SC) are the entries. They play the Games, they accumulate when you win, and they are what a redemption pays out against.
- Bonus credit is promotional balance. It plays exactly like SC and is tracked separately so we can tell a bonus from a purchase, and it carries the conditions of whichever promotion issued it.
4. Getting entries without paying
- Promotional awards. Bonuses, giveaways, and promotions we run.
5. How outcomes are decided
Game outcomes come from the random number generators of the third-party operators whose titles we carry. Nothing about your balance, your tier, or how much you have purchased changes an outcome.
6. Prize redemption
Redemptions are requested from your Wallet, not from a Game. Credits sitting on a Game must be moved back to your Wallet first, using “Cash Out to Wallet” on that Game. A request is covered by your Wallet balance alone.
Redemptions follow the house rules, in full:
- The minimum redemption is 100 SC.
- You can request a redemption at any time, day or night. 2:30 PM PT is the cutoff for that day's processing: requests in by then are paid out between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM PT, and anything later is still valid — it simply goes out in the next day's run.
- One redemption per account per day. The day resets at midnight Eastern; a request that is denied or that you cancel does not count against it.
- Your daily cap is set by what you have DEPOSITED into your Wallet — your most recent deposit, together with any other deposit made the same day. Moving your own money does not change it: loading a Game, transferring between Games, winning, and moving credits back to your Wallet all leave your cap where it was.
- With no qualifying deposit — under 10 SC, or none yet — there is no redemption tier and no redemption.
- Deposits of 10 SC to 75 SC redeem up to 200 SC per day.
- Deposits of 76 SC to 200 SC redeem up to 350 SC per day.
- Deposits of 201 SC and above redeem up to 500 SC per day.
- Bonus credit cannot be redeemed directly. It is spent before your own balance when you load a Game, and what it wins is redeemable as ordinary balance.
- Where a promotion funded the balance, the minimum redemption is twice your last purchase and never less than 100 SC, and the redemption is capped at 200 SC.
- The maximum jackpot payout is 5,000 SC per player. A balance above that is voided and is not redeemable.
- The amount you request leaves your Wallet when the request is made, so it cannot be spent while it is waiting. If the request is denied or you cancel it, that amount is returned to your Wallet.
- Every redemption is reviewed by an administrator and is subject to identity verification before it is released.
Verification
Before a prize is paid we may ask for government photo ID, proof of address, a taxpayer identification number where reporting requires one, and confirmation that a payment method belongs to you. A request that is not completed within 30 days may be cancelled and the prize forfeited.
Taxes
Prizes are your income to report. Where the law requires it we will issue a Form 1099 and may be obliged to withhold. We do not give tax advice.
7. Disqualification
We may void entries, cancel a prize, and close an account for multi-accounting, using someone else’s payment method or identity, automated play, exploiting a bug or an operator malfunction, collusion, chargeback abuse, or any attempt to interfere with how entries are decided. Where fraud, a technical failure, or anything else compromises the integrity of a promotion, we may suspend or modify it.
8. Liability
By taking part you release the Platform Parties and the operators we carry from liability for loss, injury, or damage arising from taking part in a promotion or from accepting or using a prize, to the extent the law allows. We are not responsible for entries lost, delayed, or corrupted in transmission, nor for an operator’s own downtime.
Platform Parties who are not parties to these rules are intended third-party beneficiaries of this release and may enforce it directly.
9. Changes and questions
We may change these rules. The version on this page, with the date at the top, is the one that applies. Questions go to our Contact page, and suspected fraud goes to Anti-Fraud.
