Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At American Drama, we believe that sweepstakes gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While our games are designed to be fun and exciting, it's important to approach them with a responsible mindset and to set limits that work for you.
Age Verification
Sweepstakes gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gaming in your state, whichever is higher). We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable US laws and regulations. By participating in our games, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
