Frequently Asked Questions about RRedeems
Why can't I redeem directly in the game room?
RRedeems was created as the third component of the Play4Sweeps™ System in line with attorney’s recommendations to ensure legal compliance. RRedeems operates independently of other companies within the Play4Sweeps™ System.
RRedeems manages the redemption of sweepstakes winnings for players using accounts provided by the game rooms connected to the sweepstakes.
Players cannot redeem directly in the game room because the games are on different platforms and owned and operated by different companies. Think of it this way: It’s similar to visiting Arcade A to redeem prizes from Arcade B that offers cash rewards, even though the Arcade A doesn’t reward cash prizes. If it was set up that way, it creates legal confusion and intermingles separate platform.
What's the Play4Sweeps™ System?
The Play4Sweeps™ System is a system consisting of companies in which a skill-game room (or skill arcade) has a game (or games) where their players can test their skills to win Sweepstakes Entries for select Sweepstakes Platforms. Then the player would head over to the Sweepstakes Platform and use their Sweepstakes Entries. If they win on the Sweepstakes Platform, they would head over to a redeem site (in this case RRedeems) and redeem their sweepstakes winnings to real prizes.
First Component: Game Room (e.g., Triple Sevens, Lunar Luxe Lounge, etc.) which offers skill-based games, some of which can win Sweepstakes Entries.
Second Component: Sweepstakes Platforms that are independently owned and operated by the Sweepstakes Providers (e.g., RiverSweeps, Juwa, Orion Stars, Golden Dragon).
Third Component: Redeem Center (e.g., RRedeems) which handles prize redemption for Sweepstakes.
Every component in the process is a separate entity, despite their contractual agencies in which they provide one another.
If RRedeems is a separate platform, how does it redeem and keep record of my winnings?
RRedeems works on behalf of the game room and has access to APIs and dashboards provided by the sweepstakes platforms. All data sent to RRedeems from the game rooms and sweepstakes platforms is agreed upon when you become a member of one of the game rooms. This data transfer information can be found in the Terms and Conditions of the game room. This API and/or dashboard allows RRedeems to redeem based on the PIN number or username provided by the game room. If the PIN or username doesn’t match the game room’s ID on the sweepstake’s platform, it won’t work, and it will provide an error message.
Why can't I just buy Sweepstakes Entries? Why must I play at a game room first?
Sweepstakes entries have no monetary value. Most states require that sweepstakes entries be available without purchase, as buying them is often illegal. To comply with this, the Play4Sweeps™ System was created. In this system, you win sweepstakes entries by playing and winning specific skill games. The game rooms in the Play4Sweeps™ System offer ways to get tokens without buying them which meet the no purchase necessary requirement. These tokens are used to play skill games, some of which gives you the opportunity to win sweepstakes entries.
Is this whole process worth it? It seems overwhelming.
We understand how you feel. We are not trying to confuse you or anyone in anyway. Our main priorities are our members and legal compliance.
At first many members told us they felt overwhelmed with this Play4Sweeps™ System. However, what we found is that once they got used to the system, they really enjoyed all the perks in each component of the Play4Sweeps™ System.
Each component of the Play4Sweeps™ System has its own perks:
1. Every game room has their own promotions, deals, benefits, etc. The best part is you can play at multiple game rooms and pick and choose the perks best fit you and your play style.
2. Different PINs and usernames for the Sweepstakes’ Platforms. Here you can use your different accounts to double dip on their promotions, bonuses, and such.
3. Not only do you get to redeem with RRedeems, you get RRewards™ in addition to your redeems. These RRewards™ can be exchanged for additional prizes. You will not find any other place where they reward you for redeeming with them.
These perks alone, are just some of the reasons people really enjoy using the Play4Sweeps™ System.
What are RRewards™?
RRewards™ is a loyalty point system where you get rewarded when you redeem with RRedeems. RRewards™ can be exchanged for prizes in the RRewards Center.
What is the Prize Drop Meter?
In your portal when you login, you will see the Prize Drop Meter. All members of RRedeems contribute to the Prize Drop Meter whenever they redeem. It will fill the meter based on the amount of each redeem. The amount needed to fill the prize drop meter is random and changes each time it is filled. If your redeem completes the meter, you will be rewarded 100,000 RRewards.
