We protect your play with layered security: SSL/TLS encryption on every connection, strict data-privacy controls, independently tested game software, and account tools like strong passwords and two-factor authentication. Those pieces work together so your personal details and your Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin balances stay yours.
MyPrize operates under US sweepstakes rules, not a licensed online casino, and no purchase is necessary to play. That model does not change our technical commitments. The same encryption that shields your sign-up protects the moment you redeem Sweeps Coins for cash prizes. Security here is about the pipes and the padlocks, not paperwork.
Below we explain each layer in plain language, so you know exactly what guards your session when you log in and play.
Is my money safe when I redeem a prize?
Redemptions are protected by the same encrypted channel that guards the rest of your session, and a one-time identity verification — which typically completes in minutes — confirms the prize goes to the right person. That check is a security feature, not an obstacle.
When everything is in order, prize money can land in seconds, sometimes in under ten. Methods such as bank transfer and Skrill are processed over secured connections. For package prices and payout options see payments; optional Gold Coin packages start from just 0.99 USD, and no purchase is ever necessary to play.
Identity confirmation protects you as much as us: it blocks anyone else from redeeming Sweeps Coins against your name.
What encryption does MyPrize use to protect my connection?
Every page and form on MyPrize is served over SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS), which scrambles the data traveling between your device and our servers so it cannot be read in transit. Look for the padlock in your browser bar — that is the handshake doing its job.
This matters most at the two points attackers care about: when you type your password at the login screen and when you move balances around. Encryption turns readable text into ciphertext, so a snooper on public Wi-Fi sees noise rather than your credentials. Card numbers entered through Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay are handled over the same protected channel.
We keep certificates current and favor modern cipher suites. If your browser ever warns that a connection is not private, stop and refresh rather than entering details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does MyPrize encrypt my connection?
Yes. Every page is served over SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS), which scrambles data between your device and our servers. Look for the padlock in your browser before entering login or payment details.
How do you keep the games fair?
All games run on a Random Number Generator so outcomes are independent and unpredictable. Studios such as Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming and NetEnt publish tested RTP figures, and live tables come from Evolution.
Can I add two-factor authentication to my account?
We recommend enabling two-factor authentication where available, alongside a strong, unique password. Together they add a second barrier so a stolen password alone cannot unlock your account.
Is my personal data shared or sold?
No. We collect only what we need, store it on secured systems with limited staff access, and do not sell your identity. Documents from your one-time verification are used solely to confirm who you are.
Will you ever ask for my password or a login code?
Never. Our team will not ask for your password or one-time codes. Any message requesting them is a phishing attempt — do not reply, and type our address yourself instead of clicking links.
Where can I get help if gambling stops being fun?
Call the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700 (ncpgambling.org) or 1-800-GAMBLER, both free and confidential. Self-exclusion is run per state. You must be 21 or older to play.
