Internet Sweepstakes Software - For Cafes, Parlors and Online Operators
Compliant, scalable internet sweepstakes software for physical venues, hybrid operations, and fully online sweepstakes casinos - built to the US sweepstakes model with dual-currency mechanics and AMOE support from day one.
What Is Internet Sweepstakes Software?
Internet sweepstakes software is a platform that powers sweepstakes-based gaming operations - either in physical settings (cafes, parlors, and gaming venues with terminals or kiosks) or fully online. It uses the US promotional sweepstakes legal model rather than gambling regulation - making it accessible in most US states where traditional online casino gambling is not permitted.
The key legal distinctions are: no purchase is necessary to participate, an Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE) must be freely available, prizes are pre-determined, and the operation must comply with applicable state sweepstakes laws. Internet sweepstakes software manages all of these requirements at the platform level - AMOE mechanics, dual-currency wallet, state restriction controls, and responsible gaming tools are built in.
vs Traditional Online Casino
Traditional online casinos require gambling licences and operate under state gambling law. Internet sweepstakes software runs under US promotional sweepstakes law - no gambling licence required in most states. The games look similar but the legal structure is fundamentally different.
Physical vs Online Model
Physical sweepstakes cafes and parlors run terminals or kiosks on location. Online operations run on web and mobile. Hybrid models combine both channels from a single platform. OHS Gaming supports all three operational formats.
Why Popular in the US
The sweepstakes model provides a legal pathway to offer gaming entertainment in the US without a gambling licence. This has driven significant growth in both physical sweepstakes venues and online sweepstakes casinos serving the US market.

US Sweepstakes Compliance Built In
Compliance is not a feature you add later. Internet sweepstakes software must be built on a legally compliant foundation from day one. OHS Gaming's platform includes the compliance infrastructure required to operate a legitimate US sweepstakes gaming business.
Note: The information below describes platform capabilities. It does not constitute legal advice. Operators must obtain independent legal counsel for their specific operational model and jurisdictions.
Platform includes built-in AMOE mechanics allowing players to receive sweepstakes entries without purchase - a legal requirement of the US sweepstakes model.
The platform enforces no-purchase-necessary at the product level - players can always access the sweepstakes without spending money on virtual currency.
Geo-restriction tools to block or limit access from specific US states where sweepstakes operations face additional restrictions. Configurable per-operator.
Compliant redemption process for players converting accumulated Sweeps Coins to prizes. Identity verification integrated into the redemption flow.
Deposit limits, session time limits, self-exclusion, and cooling-off periods configurable at the operator and player level. Responsible gaming is embedded, not optional.
Know Your Customer verification integrated at account registration and Sweeps Coin redemption. Age verification, identity checks, and documentation management built in.
Games and Content for Internet Sweepstakes
Game content built for the US sweepstakes model, covering both online and physical cafe/parlor player preferences.
Slots and Video Slots
The primary game type for both online and cafe/parlor sweepstakes. Thousands of titles: classic 3-reel, modern video slots, Megaways, and progressive jackpots. RNG-certified, mobile-optimized, and dual-currency ready. Slots drive the majority of player engagement and session time in sweepstakes operations.
Fishing Games
Fishing games are particularly popular in the physical sweepstakes parlor and cafe market. Skill-influenced, multiplayer-capable, and highly engaging for in-venue settings. OHS Gaming includes fishing game content suited to both terminal/kiosk deployment and online play. A differentiator for operators targeting the physical cafe market.
Keno and Instant Win
Keno delivers fast-cycle, high-frequency play that appeals to a broad sweepstakes audience. Instant win and scratch card games provide immediate results - important for player engagement in both online and physical venue formats. All available with dual-currency mechanics.
Table Games and Live Dealer
Blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker variants for players who prefer strategy-based gameplay. Live dealer content provides the highest-engagement experience online. Both are dual-currency ready with Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin mechanics. See the full sweepstakes casino game development catalogue.
