Sweepstakes Rules

These Sweepstakes Rules explain how Lucky Buddha Casino’s sweepstakes promotions work, who can participate, how to get Sweepstakes Coins, how to redeem prizes, and what can lead to disqualification. Lucky Buddha Casino is a sweepstakes social casino operated by Windstorm Tech LLC in Montgomery, Alabama, and it launched in February 2026.

Lucky Buddha Casino does not offer real-money gambling. Instead, it uses a dual-currency system:

• Gold Coins (GC) are for entertainment play only and have no cash value.
• Sweepstakes Coins (SC) are promotional sweepstakes entries that may be redeemable for real prizes once all requirements are met.

By creating an account, receiving promotional coins, or playing on the platform, you agree to follow these rules and any related terms presented during promotions.

Who Can Play - Eligibility, Age Rules, and Location Limits

To participate in Lucky Buddha Casino sweepstakes promotions, you must meet all eligibility requirements below.

You must:

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Be physically located in an eligible United States jurisdiction at the time you participate.
• Register a single, personal account with accurate information.
• Not be barred by applicable law, these rules, or platform enforcement decisions.

Restricted locations

Lucky Buddha Casino is not available in the following states: California, Connecticut, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Washington.

“Void where prohibited” applies. If your jurisdiction prohibits sweepstakes-style promotions or prize redemptions, you may be restricted from participation or redemption, even if you can access the website.

The Dual-Currency System - What Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins Actually Do

Lucky Buddha Casino separates entertainment play from sweepstakes promotions.

Gold Coins:

• Are used to play social casino games for fun.
• Are not redeemable and have no cash value.
• Are generally available through bonuses (like daily login) or through optional Gold Coin bundle purchases.

Sweepstakes Coins:

• Are used to participate in sweepstakes-style gameplay that can result in prize-eligible balances.
• Can be received through free methods and promotional offers.
• Must meet playthrough requirements before they can be redeemed.

Important: Buying a Gold Coin bundle is optional and is not required to obtain Sweepstakes Coins or to participate in sweepstakes promotions.

Simple Account Rules That Protect Players (and the Promotion)

To keep the sweepstakes fair and compliant, Lucky Buddha Casino enforces account integrity requirements.

Registration requirements

When you create an account, you must provide truthful and complete information, including your identity details and contact information. If your information is inaccurate, incomplete, or cannot be verified, redemptions may be delayed, denied, or reversed.

One person - one account

Only one account is permitted per person. Creating or using multiple accounts (even if you use different emails, devices, payment methods, or addresses) may result in:

• Suspension of all related accounts,
• Removal of SC and/or promotional balances, and
• Disqualification from promotions and redemption.

You must be the real account owner

Account sharing, transferring, selling, or “renting” an account is prohibited. Your account is intended for your personal use only.

How to Get Sweepstakes Coins (Including Free Methods of Entry)

Lucky Buddha Casino offers multiple ways to obtain Sweepstakes Coins. Some require a purchase, and some are free. No purchase is necessary to enter or participate.

Free methods of entry (no purchase required)

Depending on availability and eligibility, you may receive SC through:

• Zen Registration Bonus: 2 SC (plus 100,000 GC) after signing up.
• Mail-in bonus (Alternative Method of Entry): 3 SC per valid request card, up to 5 requests per month (maximum 15 SC per month).
• Referral bonus: 5 SC per referred friend who signs up and makes a qualifying first purchase.
• Promotional giveaways and special events, when offered.

Lucky Buddha Casino may also offer free GC promotions (such as the Daily Login Bonus of 20,000 GC every 24 hours). Because GC is not redeemable, GC-only promotions do not change your redemption eligibility.

Optional purchases (Gold Coin bundles with bonus SC)

If you choose to buy a Gold Coin bundle, bonus SC may be included as a promotional add-on. Example pricing may include bundles such as $2.99 (10,000 GC plus 3 SC) up through higher tiers like $299.99 (4,000,000 GC plus 330 SC). These offers can change and may be limited by location and eligibility.

Payment methods may include Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer.

How the Mail-In AMOE Works (Free SC by Postal Request)

The Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) is designed to provide a no-purchase way to receive Sweepstakes Coins.

Key AMOE rules:

• Requests must follow the exact instructions listed in the platform’s sweepstakes rules and must be handwritten as required.
• Each valid request awards 3 SC.
• Limit: 5 requests per month per participant (up to 15 SC monthly).
• Requests that do not meet all requirements may be rejected and will not receive SC.

Because AMOE processing is manual, credits may take longer than automated bonuses. Lucky Buddha Casino may also limit, pause, or end AMOE promotions if required for compliance, fraud prevention, or operational reasons.

How Sweepstakes Promotions and Bonuses Work (What “1x Playthrough” Means)

Most SC promotions at Lucky Buddha Casino include a playthrough requirement before redemption.

1x playthrough requirement

Bonus SC must be played through once (1x) before they become eligible for redemption. This applies across promotions, including:

• Sign-up SC,
• Purchase-related bonus SC,
• Referral bonus SC,
• Mail-in SC, and
• Other promotional SC awards.

“1x playthrough” means you must use the bonus SC in gameplay with total wagers equal to the amount of bonus SC received before that SC is considered redemption-eligible. This requirement helps keep promotions consistent and reduces abuse.

Prize Redemption Rules - Minimums, Verification, Timing, and Fees

Sweepstakes Coin balances may be eligible for prize redemption once you meet all requirements, including playthrough and verification.

Minimum redemption amount

You must have at least 100 SC to request a redemption.

Verification (KYC) is required

Before any redemption is approved, Lucky Buddha Casino requires account verification to confirm your identity, age eligibility, and location eligibility. This can include:

• Identity verification (such as a government-issued identification),
• Address verification,
• Payment method verification (when relevant), and
• Additional checks if the account is flagged for security review.

If verification cannot be completed, redemption may be denied, and your account may be restricted.

Redemption methods and typical processing times

Redemptions may be processed to methods such as bank transfer, Visa, or MasterCard, with typical processing windows ranging from about 24 to 48 hours depending on the method and review status. Processing times can be longer if additional verification is required, if there is a compliance review, or during high-volume periods.

Redemption fees

A redemption fee may apply, typically ranging from $1.25 to $3.96 per transaction. Fees may vary based on method, provider costs, and processing requirements, and they may change over time.

State-specific redemption limits

Some jurisdictions may impose limits. For example, players located in Florida may be subject to a statewide cap of $5,000 per day in sweepstakes casino winnings. If you are in a location with restrictions, your redemption may be limited or unavailable.

Fair Play and Fraud Prevention - What’s Not Allowed

To protect players and maintain a fair sweepstakes environment, Lucky Buddha Casino monitors for prohibited behavior. If the platform detects violations, it may restrict gameplay, remove promotional balances, suspend accounts, or deny redemptions.

Prohibited activities may include:

• Creating multiple accounts or coordinating accounts within a household to exploit promotions.
• Using automated tools, scripts, bots, clickers, emulators, or any method designed to manipulate gameplay or claim bonuses unfairly.
• VPN or location masking to access the platform from restricted jurisdictions.
• Chargebacks, payment disputes, or using payment methods not owned by you (or otherwise unauthorized).
• Any attempt to exploit software errors, bonus loopholes, or system malfunctions.
• Collusion, fraud, identity misrepresentation, or falsified verification documents.

If a game, promotion, coin credit, or redemption is impacted by a technical error, Lucky Buddha Casino may correct balances and outcomes as needed to reflect the intended rules and fair operation.

When Accounts Can Be Suspended or Disqualified

Lucky Buddha Casino may suspend, restrict, or close accounts, and may disqualify participants from promotions, under circumstances such as:

• You fail age, identity, or location verification.
• You are located in a restricted state or an otherwise ineligible jurisdiction.
• You provided false, misleading, or incomplete registration information.
• You used multiple accounts or participated in coordinated promotional abuse.
• Your activity triggers fraud, security, or compliance concerns.
• You violated promotion terms, game rules, or sweepstakes rules.

If an account is closed due to violations, SC balances and redemption eligibility may be forfeited where permitted by law.

Practical Tips to Stay Eligible (and Avoid Redemption Delays)

If you want smoother redemptions and fewer interruptions, focus on a few best practices:

• Register with your real legal name and current address.
• Keep one account only, and do not share it.
• Avoid VPN usage and play only while physically located in an eligible United States jurisdiction.
• Complete verification early, especially before you request your first redemption.
• Track your 1x playthrough on bonus SC before submitting a redemption request.
