(a) Receive Sweeps Coins for free when purchasing Gold Coins. Each Participant may receive Sweeps Coins as a free reward upon the purchase of specifically marked offers of Gold Coins. Gold Coins can be used only for Standard Play. Gold Coins cannot be redeemed for prizes. The number of Sweeps Coins a Participant will receive for each relevant Gold Coin purchase will be stated in the website purchase window. All purchases of Gold Coins are final and no refunds will be given.

The amount of Sweeps Coins given away will be stated on the applicable Sweeps Coins no-cost contest post or on the Promotion’s Terms and Conditions, and will be added to each contest winner’s Customer Account.
(c) Receive Sweeps Coins by logging into your account. Participants can receive free Sweeps Coins on a daily basis by logging into their account.
Participants can only claim a Daily Login Bonus once per day. The amount of Sweeps Coins available to a Participant to claim as a Daily Bonus on any day is displayed in their Customer Account.
(d) Receive Sweeps Coins by sending a request by post. Participants can receive free Sweeps Coins by obtaining a Postal Request Code from our Customer Support, and sending a standard postcard or piece of white paper (Request Card) which must be 4” x 6”, unfolded, blank and unlined, and placed inside a stamped #10 envelope addressed in handwriting to the following address and satisfy the requirements set out below:
MoonSpin.US
PO Box 8213
Manchester NH 03108
Participants must:
- handwrite their return address on the front of the envelope and the words: “Sweeps Entries”; and handwrite all of the following on only one side of the Request Card inserted inside the envelope:
- in the top-left corner, one (and only one) unique single-use Postal Request Code (see clauses 3.4 and 3.5 of these Sweepstakes Rules for further information);
- under the Postal Request Code, in the following order:
- The date when the code was generated
- The email address of the registered account
- The player’s username
- The player’s User ID
- The following statement:
“I wish to receive Sweeps Coins to participate in the sweepstakes promotions offered by Moonspin. By submitting this request, I hereby declare that I have read, understood, and agree to be bound by Moonspin’s Terms and Conditions, and Sweepstakes Rules.”
3.3 There is a limit of one Request Card per outer envelope per day. For each Request Card a Participant submits in accordance with the above requirements, the Participant will receive 10 Sweeps Coins. The Sweeps Coins will be added to the Participant’s Customer Account.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, COMBINED REQUESTS SENT VIA PACKAGE OR PARCEL DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS SET OUT ABOVE AND ARE INVALID.
The Sweeps Coins awarded via this method will be added to the eligible Participant’s account subject to account verification and compliance in full with this subsection (d).
NOTE: A Participant must ensure that their handwriting is legible. If the Participant’s handwriting is not legible, the entry will be void and the Sweeps Coins will not be added to the Participant’s Customer Account. The legibility of a Participant’s handwriting will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
THE REQUEST MUST ONLY BE MADE BY THE PARTICIPANT AND MUST BE POSTED FROM THE SAME STATE OR PROVINCE AS THE PARTICIPANT’S VERIFIED STATE OF RESIDENCE. Requests made by any other individual or any entity (including but not limited to commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering services) or posted from a State or Province different from the Participant’s confirmed state of residence will be declared invalid and Sweeps Coins will not be added to the Participant’s Customer Account.
Tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the use of any device or software to automate the Sweeps Coins request/entry process or to unfairly assist the Participant with meeting the handwriting requirement, is prohibited and any requests/entries deemed by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void. Where there is an issue or fault with an envelope used by a Participant to request free Sweeps Coins, such that it does, or is reasonably likely to, cause damage to, or otherwise adversely affect, equipment used or procedures implemented to process mailed in requests (for example, handmade envelopes that are not suitable for machine processing due to poor quality or non-standard adhesive or paper), such entry will be void. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted a request or whether a request satisfies the requirements set out above cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected request/entry will be deemed ineligible.
3.4 A Postal Request Code is a unique combination of 10 digits that Participants can obtain by contacting our Customer Support at support@moonspin.us. A Postal Request Code is unique, can only be used once, and expires 30 days after it is displayed. The purpose of a Postal Request Code is to assist with the efficient and effective processing of a Participant’s Request Card and to verify the identity of the requesting Participant. Request Cards containing an expired Postal Request Code at the time of processing will be void. A POSTAL REQUEST CODE CAN ONLY BE USED BY THE PARTICIPANT WHOSE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT WAS USED TO REQUEST THAT POSTAL CODE. Any Participant suspected by Sponsor to have directly or indirectly provided a Postal Request Code to another person may, in the sole discretion of Sponsor, be disqualified and lose their eligibility to Participate in the Sweepstakes.
3.5 The amount of Sweeps Coins a Participant has will be displayed in their Customer Account on the website. The amount of Sweeps Coins to be allocated to Participants can be changed at any time by the Sponsor in its sole discretion.
3.6 Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected Sweeps Coins requests or allocations.
3.7 In the event of a dispute as to any registration of a Customer Account, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register the Customer Account will be deemed to be the Participant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned the email address by an internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address.
3.8 Use of any automated or other system(s) to Participate, to acquire Sweeps Coins or play the games is prohibited and will result in disqualification and loss of eligibility to Participate in the games.
3.9 Sweeps Coins are only valid for sixty (60) days from the date a Participant last logged on to their Customer Account and will then automatically expire.

4.7 Redemption. Sweeps Coins obtained by any method in Section 3.2(a)-(d) are not immediately available for redemption of a prize. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, require that any Sweeps Coins allocated to a Participant under any method in Section 3.2(a)-(d) must be used at least 1 time (not exceeding 20 times) in any combination of Sweeps Coins games before they are eligible to be redeemed.
4.8 Sponsor reserves the right to change the prize win rates and payout odds of any of the games at any time.
