What it is

Sweepstakes done properly.

Mikado Sweeps is built specifically for the US sweepstakes model. Dual-currency wallets, compliant promotional mechanics, and the full Mikado PAM foundation — all in a platform you own outright.

The sweepstakes model is complex to do right. We've built a platform designed from the ground up for it, not retrofitted from a real-money product.

Dual-currency architecture

Native Gold Coin and Sweep Coin wallet support. Separate balance management, exchange mechanics, and redemption flows — all built in from day one.

Compliant promotional model

No-purchase-necessary mechanics, free-entry routes, and prize redemption flows built to meet US sweepstakes legal requirements across all states.

Full PAM underneath

Player accounts, KYC, payments and the complete Mikado back-office layer. Everything you need to operate at scale, not just a sweepstakes skin.

Full code ownership

Delivered as a code purchase or white-label. Full ownership, full flexibility, no vendor dependency. Your platform, your roadmap, your terms.

How the model works

Two currencies.
One platform.

The sweepstakes model requires a precise dual-currency approach. Mikado Sweeps handles both sides with the controls and audit trails operators need to stay compliant and scale confidently.

GC
Gold Coins

Purchased virtual currency for entertainment play. No cash value, no redemption. Managed separately from Sweep Coins with full wallet audit trails.

SC
Sweep Coins

Promotional currency awarded free or alongside Gold Coin purchases. Redeemable for prizes. Full compliance controls, redemption workflows and reporting built in.

01
Free entry routes

No-purchase-necessary entry mechanics built into the platform. Postal entry, free daily allocations, and configurable free-entry flows compliant across US states.

02
Prize redemption

Configurable redemption flows with identity verification, minimum thresholds and payment provider integrations to handle prize payouts at scale.

Compliance by design

Built for the rules.
Ready for any state.

US sweepstakes law is complex and varies by state. Mikado Sweeps is architected around compliance requirements from the ground up, not bolted on after the fact.

01
No-purchase-necessary mechanics

AMOE (Alternative Method Of Entry) routes built into the core platform. Postal entry, free daily coin allocations, and configurable free-entry flows ready out of the box.

02
State-level rules engine

Configurable rule sets per state or jurisdiction. Restrict, adjust or block specific mechanics by geography without touching the core platform.

03
Full audit trails

Every wallet transaction, coin award, redemption and player action is logged. Complete audit history available for regulatory review at any time.

04
KYC & identity verification

Integrated KYC flows at registration and redemption. GambleID, Stripe Identity and configurable third-party KYC provider support built in.

AI-ready architecture

Built for what
comes next.

Mikado Sweeps shares the same modern microservices foundation as Mikado Real Money. Every component is API-accessible. Every workflow is automatable. AI tooling integrates directly, not around the platform.

01
Microservices architecture

Independently deployable services with open APIs. AI tools connect directly to the data and workflows they need without touching the core platform.

02
Player behaviour modelling

Clean, structured player data pipelines ready for AI-driven retention models, churn prediction and personalised coin award strategies.

03
Fraud & abuse detection

AI tooling for bonus abuse identification, multi-account detection and redemption fraud. Connect PT's custom AI tools or bring your own.

04
Automated compliance reporting

AI-assisted reporting pipelines for sweepstakes regulatory requirements. Reduce manual effort across audits, prize reporting and state filings.
