A three-document eligibility check
First read the current Terms. Second inspect the Sweepstakes Rules, including entry and prize clauses. Third review the restricted-state Help Center page and its date. If the sources disagree for your state, contact the operator for written clarification before entering or purchasing Gold Coins. Official documents conflict; neither list alone establishes present eligibility. Sources: Sweepstakes Rules · restricted-state guidance ·
Residence and physical location are different
The July 20, 2026 Shuffle.us Help Center says a participant must both be a legal resident of, and physically present in, a permitted jurisdiction. Because its eligibility list conflicts with portions of the Sweepstakes Rules, this statement describes the Help Center policy rather than resolving whether a particular state qualifies. Do not use location-masking tools to bypass an operator restriction.
Age and identity considerations
The Sweepstakes Rules require participants to be at least 18 or the age of majority, whichever is higher. Eligibility can also depend on account identification, and apparent account access does not guarantee a qualifying redemption.
Conflict-resolution decision tree
If both sources clearly permit a jurisdiction, still confirm current in-product eligibility. If one prohibits and another permits it, stop and ask for clarification. If neither is clear, do not infer permission from a U.S. address or a successful page load.
Scope and timing
This comparison records conflicting official documents checked October 22, 2026; it does not offer legal advice or an exhaustive live access test. State legislation and operator policies can change.

Resolve eligibility conflicts without guessing
| Decision factor | Evidence or check | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Residence | Check the state of legal residency. | A travel location does not replace residency. |
| Physical location | Check the state where the user is actually accessing the service. | Being a resident somewhere permitted may not be enough while traveling. |
| Document conflict | Compare the Sweepstakes Rules with the July 2026 Help Center list. | Florida, Georgia, Hawaii and Maryland appear in the help list but raise questions against the rules wording. |
| Confirmation | Request explicit operator confirmation where documents disagree. | Do not infer authorization from a marketing banner. |
| Record | Retain the date and URL of the governing answer. | Availability can change. |
Worked decision example
Consider a Maryland resident visiting Virginia. A simple “United States supported” label misses two separate tests—residence and present location—and the published-list conflict. The safe editorial answer is “not confirmed” until the operator resolves the discrepancy.
