Sweepstakes Rules

Global Poker runs on a sweepstakes model, which means you can play casino-style games and poker with Gold Coins for fun and Sweeps Coins for prize-eligible play. These Sweepstakes Rules explain who can participate, how to get Sweeps Coins (including free methods), how promotions work, and what you need to do before you redeem prizes.

No purchase is necessary to enter or participate. Buying Gold Coin packages is optional, and free ways to receive Sweeps Coins are available where permitted.

If you want the basics on how the platform works, you can also check the Global Poker page once you are done here.

Eligibility: Who Can Join, and Who Cannot

To participate in sweepstakes promotions and use Sweeps Coins, you must meet all eligibility requirements below.

You can generally play if:

• You are at least 18 years old (or older if your state requires a higher age for this type of play).
• You are physically located in an eligible jurisdiction at the time you access Sweeps Coin play.
• You can successfully register one account and pass identity and location checks when requested.

You cannot participate if:

• You are underage.
• You are located in a prohibited jurisdiction (see the geographic section below).
• You are attempting to play on someone else’s behalf, using multiple accounts, or using a system designed to exploit promotions.

Global Poker may restrict access to Sweeps Coin promotions based on your location, account status, verification outcome, device signals, or other compliance factors used to protect the integrity of the sweepstakes.

Age Rules: What “Of Legal Age” Really Means

Age rules are not optional. You must be at least 18 years old, and in some places you may need to be 21 years old depending on local rules and how sweepstakes promotions are treated.

If Global Poker requests proof of age, you must provide it. If you cannot verify your age, your account may be suspended, and any Sweeps Coin balance, promotional entries, or pending prize redemptions may be voided.

Geographic Limits: Where Sweepstakes Play Is Allowed

Sweepstakes availability is location-based, and your physical location matters. Even if you live in an eligible state, you must be physically present in an eligible jurisdiction when you play with Sweeps Coins or attempt redemption.

Based on current public restrictions commonly associated with Global Poker’s sweepstakes model, Sweeps Coin play and promotions are not available in:

California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia.

Rules can change, and Global Poker may add or remove jurisdictions. If your location cannot be verified, you may be blocked from Sweeps Coin play or prize redemption until it is confirmed.

One Player, One Account: Registration and Account Rules

When you register, you agree to keep your account information accurate and up to date. To protect players and keep promotions fair, Global Poker typically enforces strict “one account per person” rules.

Key registration rules include:

• One account per player, per household, and per device environment may be enforced depending on fraud signals and platform controls.
• You must use your real name and accurate contact information.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials private.
• You may be asked to verify your email address, phone number, identity, and address.

Creating multiple accounts to collect sign-up rewards, daily login bonuses, mail-in credits, or other promotions is a fast way to get disqualified.

Understanding the Two Currencies: Gold Coins vs Sweeps Coins

Global Poker uses two different currencies, and it is important to know the difference.

Gold Coins:

• Used for “just for fun” play.
• Typically come from free bonuses, promotions, and optional Gold Coin package purchases.
• Not eligible for prize redemptions.

Sweeps Coins:

• Used for sweepstakes-style play that may be eligible for prizes.
• Can be received through free methods of entry and certain promotional offers where permitted.
• Can be redeemed for prizes once you meet redemption and playthrough requirements.

As a general reference, 1 Sweeps Coin is typically equivalent to $1 in prize value, although redemption options and processing rules apply.

How to Get Sweeps Coins: Free Methods of Entry and Optional Purchases

No purchase is necessary to enter or participate. Global Poker provides free ways to obtain Sweeps Coins where permitted, and it also offers optional Gold Coin packages that may include bonus Sweeps Coins as a promotion.

Common ways players may receive Sweeps Coins include:

Daily login rewards Verified players may receive a daily bonus that can include Sweeps Coins. These streak-style rewards typically grow when you log in on consecutive days, and the streak may reset if you miss a day. Sweeps Coins may also expire after extended inactivity, commonly after 90 days from your last login.

Registration and verification rewards New accounts may receive a sign-up bonus, and additional bonuses may be tied to completing verification steps. The exact amounts and timing can vary by promotion, your eligibility, and your account status.

Mail-in alternative method of entry Where available, you can request Sweeps Coins by mail using the platform’s alternative method of entry process. This typically requires generating a postal request code from your account, handwriting the request on a 4-inch by 6-inch unlined card, and mailing it in a stamped Number 10 envelope.

Mail-in requests are reviewed, may take around two months to process, and must follow the required format to be approved. Note that Delaware players reportedly lost the ability to generate postal request codes effective April 23, 2025.

Social promotions and giveaways From time to time, Global Poker may run social media giveaways or special events that award promotional entries, tournament tickets, Gold Coins, or Sweeps Coins, subject to the promotion’s terms.

Optional Gold Coin packages You may choose to purchase Gold Coin packages using common payment methods such as ACH, Visa, MasterCard, and gift cards. Promotional Sweeps Coins may be included with certain packages, but purchases are optional and do not increase your odds in any sweepstakes promotion.

How Sweepstakes Promotions Work (and What “Playthrough” Means)

Promotions can include welcome offers, daily rewards, limited-time events, or platform-wide giveaways. Each promotion has its own terms, but the core sweepstakes concept stays the same: you can obtain Sweeps Coins through free methods of entry, and you can use Sweeps Coins for play that may be redeemable for prizes.

A key rule to know is playthrough. Sweeps Coins typically carry at least a 1x playthrough requirement before they become eligible for redemption. That means if you receive 10 Sweeps Coins from a bonus, you generally need to play through 10 Sweeps Coins in eligible games before those Sweeps Coins can be redeemed.

Global Poker’s sweepstakes rules may allow it to apply a higher playthrough requirement in certain cases, up to 20x, at its discretion. You should always check the terms tied to the specific offer you are using.

Also note that promotions can be changed, paused, or withdrawn, and accounts may be excluded from an offer if the platform identifies eligibility or compliance concerns.

Prize Redemptions: Thresholds, Verification, and What to Expect

Redeeming prizes is a regulated-style process with checks designed to keep the sweepstakes fair and prevent fraud.

Typical redemption rules include:

• Minimum redemption thresholds may apply, such as 50 eligible Sweeps Coins for cash redemptions and 10 Sweeps Coins for gift cards.
• Only “eligible” Sweeps Coins can be redeemed, meaning they must satisfy any playthrough and promotional conditions.
• Redemptions may be processed as cash prizes or gift cards, depending on the available options and your eligibility.

Before approval, Global Poker may require:

• Identity verification (such as government-issued identification).
• Address verification (such as a recent utility bill or official document).
• Payment method verification when relevant.
• Location checks to confirm you are in an eligible jurisdiction.

If your details do not match, your documents are unclear, or your account activity triggers a fraud review, redemption may be delayed or denied until the issue is resolved.

Fair Play Rules: Prohibited Activities That Can Get You Disqualified

Sweepstakes platforms take integrity seriously, and Global Poker can suspend accounts, void promotions, or deny redemptions if it believes the rules were violated.

Prohibited activities typically include:

• Multiple accounts, account sharing, or “someone playing for you.”
• Abusing promotions (for example, repeating sign-up rewards using new emails, devices, or identities).
• Collusion in poker or coordinated play designed to transfer value between accounts.
• Use of bots, scripts, automation tools, or any method that manipulates gameplay or promotions.
• Chargebacks, payment disputes, or suspicious purchasing patterns tied to bonus abuse.
• Using a virtual private network or other tools to mask location, especially to access restricted jurisdictions.

If you are unsure whether something is allowed, the safest move is to ask support before you play.

Fraud Prevention and Security Checks: Why You Might Be Asked for More Info

To protect legitimate players, Global Poker may use anti-fraud systems that review device data, login behavior, location signals, gameplay patterns, and redemption history. These tools are designed to stop stolen identities, bonus exploitation, collusion, and other prohibited conduct.

If your account is flagged, you may be asked to:

• Confirm your identity again.
• Provide additional documentation.
• Answer security questions.
• Pause redemptions until the review is complete.

These checks can feel strict, but they are a normal part of keeping sweepstakes play safer for everyone.

Account Suspension or Closure: Common Reasons It Happens

Accounts may be temporarily suspended or permanently closed for reasons such as:

• Failing age, identity, or location verification.
• Violating the one-account rule.
• Suspected fraud, collusion, or automated play.
• Attempts to redeem prizes using incomplete, inconsistent, or misleading information.
• Violations of promotional terms, including playthrough requirements and eligibility limits.

If an account is closed due to a rules violation, Sweeps Coins, promotional balances, entries, and pending redemptions may be forfeited, depending on the circumstances and applicable terms.

Customer Support and Rule Questions

If you have questions about eligibility, promotions, mail-in entries, verification, or redemptions, contact support before making changes that could affect your account. Global Poker typically offers help through chat and email, including support@globalpoker.us.com.

Responsible Play: Keep It Fun, Keep It in Control

Even though sweepstakes play is not the same as traditional online gambling, Sweeps Coin games still involve risk, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Set a budget, take breaks, and use tools like deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion if you feel your play is getting out of hand.

By following these Sweepstakes Rules and sticking to one verified account, you will have a smoother time unlocking promotions, meeting playthrough requirements, and redeeming prizes when you are ready to cash out.
