You play games like slots or poker using <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/legalbison.com\/en-id\/blog\/game-currency-regulation-compliance-virtual-money-license-trigger\/\">virtual credits<\/a><\/span> that have no real-world value; you cannot win money or trade these credits for anything. If you run out, you can buy more or wait for free refills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweepstakes casinos are different because they use two types of currency. One is for fun play, like a social casino. The other can be traded for prizes like cash or gift cards. You can get this second currency for free, or as a bonus when buying play-money credits. While some operators use the terms interchangeably to sound friendlier, structurally they are different products with different legal rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But structurally, they are not the same product. When we are advising an operator, our first question is always:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your secondary currency have real-prize redemption?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If yes, we are in sweepstakes territory, and the entire legal and operational picture shifts accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Related: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/legalbison.com\/en-id\/blog\/how-to-start-a-bitcoin-casino\/\">How to Start a Bitcoin Casino From Product, Licensing, to Off-Ramping<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button class=\"whitespace-nowrap btn btn--small btn--blue\" type=\"button\" data-fancybox=\"\" data-src=\"#contact-form\">Free Consultation for Your iGaming Platform Set-up<\/button><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The legal mechanism that makes this possible<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does a platform let you play slot games in a state like Texas or Utah, which are some of the states with tight gambling restrictions without holding a commercial gambling license?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer comes down to what lawyers and regulators call the gambling triad.

Once those run out, players buy packages to keep the game going.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tiered Pricing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Businesses offer coin bundles at different price points.

When customers buy game coins with a credit card, the transaction gets a &#8220;Merchant Category Code&#8221; (MCC) that tells the bank what kind of business is operating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two main categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>MCC 5816 (Digital Goods):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This code is for software and digital items. It\u2019s the preferred choice because it has fewer restrictions, lower fees, and higher payment approval rates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>MCC 7995 (Gambling):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This code is for betting services. Many banks automatically block these transactions. If a business is labeled this way, it faces higher fees, strict monitoring, and a significant drop in successful payments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The risk is that if a platform\u2019s games look too much like gambling, banks might force them into the 7995 category, which can cut deeply into revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To stay in the 5816 category, we advise operators to keep their &#8220;social play&#8221; purchases and any &#8220;sweepstakes&#8221; entry mechanisms completely separate. If these are bundled together, it can look like gambling, inviting the very regulatory and banking scrutiny the business needs to avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Related:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/legalbison.com\/blog\/sweepstakes-sports-betting-legal-outlook\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">A Look Into the Rising Trend of Sweepstakes Sports Betting<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where does social casino market is heading<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rapid growth phase for social and sweepstakes casinos is over.
