Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At itsmedezapi.com, we believe that sweepstakes casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage, and losing is always a possibility.

Age Requirements

All users must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their state, whichever is higher. Some states require users to be 21 or older. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet all local legal requirements before participating in any sweepstakes casino games. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
