AMOE

Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) exists so eligible players can obtain Sweeps Coins and enter sweepstakes promotions without making a purchase. At Funrize Casino, AMOE upholds the “no purchase necessary” principle required by sweepstakes law. That means you can request Promotional Entries or Sweeps Coins by mail, have your request reviewed, and receive credited entries to use in Promotional Mode—without spending money.

AMOE protects fairness and regulatory compliance by separating paid offers from no-purchase access. When you use AMOE, your entry is treated the same as a paid entry for prize eligibility, subject to the promotion’s official rules and Funrize Casino’s terms and conditions.

What You Can Request With AMOE — Quick Examples

• Promotional Entries (used to redeem cash prizes; 100 Promotional Entries equals $1)
• Tournament Coins (used in Tournament Mode; may not be redeemable for cash)
• Entry into limited-time promotions that explicitly list AMOE as an option

Step-by-Step: How to Submit an AMOE Request

Follow these steps to help ensure your AMOE is accepted and processed quickly:

1. Check eligibility and promotion rules.
   • Confirm the promotion you want to enter accepts AMOE and note the postmark deadline.
2. Prepare your mail piece.
   • Use a single postcard or letter that contains all required information listed below.
3. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope if the promotion’s rules require a return receipt.
4. Mail your request to the AMOE address shown in the promotion’s official rules.
   • If no specific AMOE address is shown, use the address listed on the promotion page.
5. Keep your mailing receipt or tracking number until your request is processed.

Required Information — What to Put in Your AMOE Mail

Include all of the following to avoid rejection:

• Full legal name, and any account username if you already have a Funrize account
• Complete mailing address and email address
• Phone number
• Date of birth to verify you are 21 or older (or age required by the promotion)
• A clear statement requesting the specific number of Promotional Entries or Sweeps Coins and the promotion name
• Postmark date or signature line for date of submission

If the promotion requires identity verification, you may also need to include a photocopy of a valid government-issued ID. Never send sensitive documents unless the promotion rules explicitly request them, and follow instructions for secure verification.

Mailing Guidelines and Deadlines

• Use a standard postcard or letter format; avoid envelopes that conceal required details unless a return envelope is specifically requested.
• Mail must be postmarked by the deadline shown in the promotion’s official rules. Late postmarks are typically disqualified.
• If rules require a return envelope or specific postage, include it exactly as stated.
• Retain proof of mailing or tracking information for at least 90 days.

Eligibility Requirements and Geographic Restrictions

• You must meet age and residency requirements stated in the promotion rules. Most Funrize promotions require you to be 21 or older and a resident of an eligible state.
• Funrize promotions are not available where prohibited by law. Current restrictions include California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
• One AMOE per person per promotion is the standard unless the rules state otherwise. Multiple attempts to enter the same promotion by the same person may be rejected as duplicate entries.

How Approved AMOE Entries Are Reviewed and Credited

• Verification team reviews each AMOE for completeness, eligibility, and potential fraud indicators.
• Typical review checks include matching name and address, confirming age, and ensuring no duplicate submissions.
• Once approved, Promotional Entries or Sweeps Coins are credited to your Funrize account. Credits typically post within 48 hours of approval, but mail review and verification can take several weeks.
• If credited, Sweeps Coins can be used in Promotional Mode or redeemed per the promotion’s redemption rules. Tournament Coins are used in Tournament Mode as specified.

Processing Timelines and What to Expect

• Mail processing can take 4 to 12 weeks depending on volume and verification requirements. Allow at least 6 weeks before contacting support about a mailed AMOE.
• After approval, expect account crediting within 24 to 48 hours.
• If additional identity verification is required, processing may take longer.

Limits on Entries and Redemption Rules

• Unless the promotion rules indicate otherwise, AMOE is limited to one entry per person per promotion.
• Promotional Entries may have playthrough requirements before conversion or redemption. Check the promotion’s terms for wagering and redemption rules.
• There is no guaranteed conversion rate for Tournament Coins; use them only as allowed under Tournament Mode rules.
• Bonus abuse, including multiple accounts or coordinated submissions, can result in disqualification, suspension, or account termination.

Common Reasons AMOE Submissions Are Rejected — and How to Avoid Them

You can prevent most rejections by following the rules carefully. Rejected AMOE submissions commonly fall into these categories:

• Missing required information, such as date of birth or email address
• Postmark after the promotion deadline
• Duplicate submissions for the same promotion from one person
• Mail lacking required return postage or return envelope where specified
• Ineligible residency or age
• Suspicion of fraud or use of falsified documentation

Practical tips: include all required fields on a single postcard, double-check postmark deadlines, and keep your proof of mailing until the entry is resolved.

Account Requirements and Verification

• You may submit an AMOE without an existing Funrize account, but you will need to create an account to have credits applied.
• Account creation requires a valid email, username, and password. Additional identity verification may be requested before credits can be redeemed or withdrawn.
• Accounts inactive for 180 consecutive days may be closed, and unclaimed entries may be voided per site policy.

Fraud Prevention and Security Measures

Funrize uses standard fraud-prevention checks to keep promotions fair:

• Identity verification checks and documentation review
• One-account-per-person enforcement
• Postal tracking and review of mailing patterns
• Monitoring for coordinated or automated submissions

These measures protect genuine players and ensure promotional integrity. If verification is requested, follow instructions promptly to avoid delays.

Responsible Participation — Play Within Limits

• AMOE provides no guarantee of prizes. Sweepstakes outcomes are determined by chance and subject to official rules.
• Set personal limits on time and spend when using Promotional Mode or Tournament Mode.
• If you need help, use Funrize support options, self-exclusion tools, or local resources for gambling help listed in the site’s responsible gaming section.

How Funrize Uses AMOE Credits

• Approved Promotional Entries are used to enter sweepstakes and qualify for prize draws or redemptions as described in the promotion.
• Tournament Coins are applied to Tournament Mode play and cannot typically be redeemed for cash.
• Any winnings from Promotional Entries are subject to the promotion’s playthrough requirements and redemption thresholds.

What to Do If Your AMOE Is Delayed or Rejected

• First, check the promotion rules and the postmark date on your mailing receipt.
• If your submission appears correct and enough time has passed, contact Funrize support at support@funrize.com or via live chat.
• Provide your mailing receipt number, date mailed, and a copy of the mailed postcard or letter if available.
• If rejected, you will be informed of the reason and whether you may resubmit before the promotion deadline.
