Sweeps casino AMOE database

How to use this database

AMOE (Alternative Method of Entry) is the legally-required no-purchase path to receive Sweeps Coins at any legitimate US sweepstakes casino. Every operator publishes its specific AMOE rules in the official terms document - this database summarizes the standard format and links to each operator's authoritative rules.

The standard AMOE process

1. Hand-print a 3" x 5" card with your name, complete address, daytime phone, email address, and date of birth.
2. Place in a #10 envelope addressed to the operator's specific PO Box (in their official terms).
3. Affix sufficient first-class postage ($0.66 standard).
4. Mail. Allow 14-21 days for processing.

Why operators publish but don't promote AMOE

Sweepstakes promotional law requires operators to offer AMOE with equal odds to purchase-attached entries. Operators are required to disclose AMOE in official rules but are not required to promote it in marketing. Most operators bury the AMOE process in lengthy terms documents because the purchase path is more profitable for the operator. This database surfaces the rules so players can access the no-purchase path easily.

What you give up by AMOE-only play

AMOE entries produce 0.5-2 SC per entry depending on operator. Five entries per week at typical 1.5 SC per entry = 7.5 SC per week from a single operator. Across five operators with active AMOE, that's roughly 37 SC per week. Reaching the 50 SC redemption threshold via pure AMOE takes about 7-10 weeks of consistent weekly mailing. Reaching the 100 SC threshold (Pulsz, High 5) takes 14-20 weeks.

The math doesn't favor AMOE-only play for most readers. AMOE works best as either:

• Test-before-deposit: A few mail-in entries to verify operator legitimacy before committing to a Gold Coin purchase.
• Pre-ban accumulation: Building a redeemable balance ahead of a state ban without committing new money.
• Philosophical no-deposit play: Players who don't want to fund sweepstakes operators can use AMOE to play indefinitely without purchases.

For most regular players, AMOE is supplementary to Gold Coin purchases rather than a primary path. See our full AMOE guide for deeper context.

AMOE in banned states

Operators that have exited a state (e.g., California after AB 831, New York after S 5935) typically reject AMOE submissions from banned-state addresses. The operator has ceased operations entirely in that state, so no entries are accepted regardless of the equal-odds rule. This is consistent with sweepstakes promotional law - the operator isn't running an unequal sweepstakes, they're not running a sweepstakes at all in that state.

Verifying AMOE addresses before mailing

AMOE PO Box addresses change periodically. Always verify the current address from the operator's official terms (linked in the database above) before mailing. Sending entries to outdated addresses produces no credit and lost postage.
