Sweepstakes ad accounts for prize offers and sweeps casinos.

Two people type the word sweepstakes into our chat. One runs a win-a-phone offer on CPL. The other runs a casino on gold coins and sweeps coins. To the ad platforms those are different businesses, so start by picking your door.

One word, two sets of rules.

The same word gets a different answer depending on what sits behind it. Read your column.

If someone sold you a Snapchat account that's ready for sweeps, read that line again. A sweeps casino on Snapchat needs a licence for each country, Snap's Gambling Ad Review Form and written approval, and the form has to come from you.

We can't send it and neither can anyone else.

We go through it with you and check the file before you press submit.

Keep a table of which account runs which country.

A licence usually covers one country, so the account list grows with the map. On Meta, Google and TikTok the panel shows each ad account's time zone, spend cap, budget left and status, and you top up several from one table.

Is a sweeps offer gambling?

It depends whose definition you read. Meta looks for monetary value in both entry and prize. TikTok says sweepstakes involve no wagering, then files them under non-casino games in its gambling policy. Snapchat lists sweepstakes in its gambling section. Send us the funnel and we tell you how each is likely to read it.

Do you need a licence for prize offers?

Meta, Google and TikTok don't name one for a straightforward prize promotion. Snapchat lists sweepstakes in a section that does ask for a licence, so ask us first. The law of each country still applies, and Snapchat says in writing that's your job.

Why can't you send the Snapchat form for me?

Snapchat won't accept it from us. Its policy rules out agencies by name. We prepare it with you and you send it.

Which countries work?

Prize offers follow the law of each country. A sweeps casino needs a licence there and a platform that lists it. Gambling affiliates on Snapchat are limited to Australia, Canada, the UK and the US.

What does it cost?

On Snapchat, Regulated, from 4%. On TikTok, quoted. On Meta, Google, X and Bigo, your rate depends on vertical and volume. One message in chat gets you the number.

Tell us which door, and which countries.
