Sweepstakes-model sites typically use virtual currencies and promotional mechanics designed to operate under different rules from real-money casinos. Their legal status varies by location and is subject to change.

Crypto casinos, by contrast, accept real-value deposits in cryptocurrency and pay out winnings in crypto, subject to the operator's licence and terms.

Players should check the specific rules that apply where they live and read each site's terms carefully.
