Responsible Social Gaming

Online sweepstakes gaming should be a fun, social activity that fits into your life—not a way to make money. At The Money Factory we use Gold Coins for casual play and Sweeps Coins for promotional play with prize eligibility. Sweeps Coins require a 1x playthrough before redemption, and cash redemptions start at 100 Sweeps Coins. Treat bonuses and wins as extras, and remember that every session is entertainment-first. Always review the site’s terms and conditions before you play.

Set clear personal limits on spending

Decide ahead of time how much real money you can afford to spend on purchases. Use preset deposit limits and stick to them—daily, weekly, or monthly caps work well. If you buy Sweeps Coins, plan the amount and don’t chase losses to try to recoup money. Keep receipts or a simple tracker so you know when you’ve hit your limit, and pause purchases when you reach it.

Manage your time, and schedule breaks

Short sessions with planned breaks reduce the risk of playing for too long. Consider setting a session timer, using a “reality check” that shows elapsed time, or scheduling play only during specific hours. Avoid playing when you are stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Balancing play with other activities—family time, exercise, work—keeps gaming fun and under control.

Recognize warning signs of problematic play

Look for patterns that suggest gaming is becoming a problem: gambling more money than you can afford, thinking about play all the time, missing work or social obligations, using play as a way to escape stress, or lying about how much you spend. If friends or family express concern, take it seriously. Early recognition makes it easier to take effective steps before things escalate.

Self-exclusion and account restrictions

If you need a break, use The Money Factory’s self-exclusion and account restriction tools. You can temporarily suspend your account, set deposit and purchase limits, or request long-term exclusion. Redemptions for Sweeps Coins require identity verification, and accounts found to violate sweepstakes rules may be suspended. To start self-exclusion or to request specific restrictions, contact support via the FAQ, live chat, or email at support@themoneyfactory.com.

Age and location rules you should know

Players must be at least 18 years old to participate. Some locations are restricted and cannot access Sweeps Coins promotions; these include Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and West Virginia. Always confirm eligibility in the site terms before creating an account or making a purchase.

Practical tips to keep gaming social and healthy

Keep sessions social—play casually with friends or set shared limits. Use budgeting tools, set timers, and enable deposit caps. Convert bonuses and rewards into planned activities, like rewarding yourself with a dinner out after a fun session. If you notice risky patterns, pause gameplay and revisit your limits. Small, consistent habits are the best safeguard.

Where to get help and support

If you feel you are losing control, reach out for help early. Start with in-site support options—FAQ, live chat, or support@themoneyfactory.com—to discuss account restrictions or self-exclusion. For outside resources, consider contacting national support organizations that specialize in gambling-related help in the United States. Professional counselors, local health services, and certified treatment programs can offer guidance tailored to your situation. If you need immediate action, ask The Money Factory support team to place account restrictions while you explore options.
