AMOE — What Is Alternative Method of Entry in Sweepstakes Casinos?

What Is AMOE? (Simple Definition)

How AMOE Works at Sweepstakes Casinos

Most sweepstakes casinos accept AMOE requests by mail. You write a request on a plain card, put it in a stamped, self-addressed envelope (SASE), and mail it to the casino's AMOE address (listed in their Terms of Service). The casino then credits Sweeps Coins to your account. This method is slower than daily bonuses but costs only a postage stamp.

How to Use AMOE — Step by Step

1. Find the AMOE address — Check the sweepstakes casino's Terms of Service or Sweepstakes Rules page for the official AMOE mailing address.
2. Write your request — On a plain 3x5 index card or sheet of paper, handwrite your full name, account email address, and a request for Sweeps Coins.
3. Prepare a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) — This is an envelope with your address on it and a stamp on it — the casino mails your Sweeps Coins reply in this envelope.
4. Mail your request — Put your written request inside the SASE and mail it to the casino's AMOE address.
5. Wait for your coins — Processing typically takes 4-6 weeks from the time the casino receives your request.
6. Check your account — Sweeps Coins will be credited directly to your account balance once processed.

AMOE vs. Purchased Sweeps Coins — What's the Difference?

AMOE gives you the same type of Sweeps Coins as those included with Gold Coin purchases — there's no functional difference in gameplay or redemption. The practical differences: AMOE is free but slow (4-6 weeks) and gives a small amount per request. Purchased packages give larger amounts instantly. Most players use daily free bonuses from login rewards rather than AMOE for routine coin collection; AMOE is most useful when you want to build a balance without spending any money.

Which Sweepstakes Casinos Have the Best AMOE Options?

All US-licensed sweepstakes casinos are legally required to offer AMOE. Most use a mail-in format. Some platforms also offer an online AMOE form where you can request free Sweeps Coins digitally, which is faster than postal mail. Check each casino's Terms for their specific AMOE method and coin amounts.

Is AMOE Worth Using?

For most players, daily login bonuses are more convenient than AMOE. But AMOE has real value if you want to play on Sweeps Coins without purchasing anything. A stamped envelope costs roughly $0.68 and can return multiple Sweeps Coins worth real redemption value. It's genuinely free money if you're willing to wait. Many dedicated players use AMOE regularly to supplement their daily bonus coins.
