Verification at MyPrize is a one-time identity check that typically completes in minutes, and you only need to clear it once before your first prize redemption. We ask for three things in most cases: a government-issued photo ID, a recent proof of address, and — if you bought a Gold Coin package — proof of the payment method used.
We run under US sweepstakes rules, not a licensed online casino, so verification exists to confirm you are the real account holder and that you meet the age requirement. No purchase is ever necessary to play, but confirming your identity keeps redemptions clean and your account secure. You can start the process from your account settings as soon as you sign in.
How do I upload my verification documents?
Upload everything directly inside your MyPrize account — no email attachments needed. Open Account Settings, find the verification section, pick the document type, then attach a photo or scan.
Snap the picture on a flat, dark surface with good light so the text stays sharp. Accepted file formats are the common ones (JPG, PNG, PDF), and smaller, in-focus images usually clear faster than huge blurry ones. Submit your ID, proof of address and any payment proof together to avoid a second round of requests. Once files are in, our team reviews them and updates your status — you'll see when the check is complete.
Why does MyPrize verify players at all?
We verify accounts to confirm identity, prevent duplicate or underage sign-ups, and keep prize redemptions secure. MyPrize operates under US sweepstakes rules, not a licensed online casino, and the age minimum here is 21+. Online casino play is regulated state by state and legal in only a few states, so always check the rules where you live.
Verification also supports responsible play. If gambling stops being fun, reach the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700 (ncpgambling.org) or 1-800-GAMBLER (1800gambler.net); self-exclusion is run per state. You can buy an optional Gold Coin package from just $0.99, but no purchase is ever necessary. New here? Check the no-purchase bonus before you verify.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to verify to play at MyPrize?
You can play Gold Coins for fun right away. Verification is required before you redeem Sweeps Coins for cash prizes, so completing it early keeps your first redemption smooth.
What ID documents are accepted?
A valid driver's license, state ID card, or passport. The image must clearly show your full name, date of birth, photo and expiry date.
How long does verification take at MyPrize?
It typically completes in minutes and most accounts clear the same day. Unclear or missing files are the main cause of any delay.
What counts as proof of address?
A utility bill, bank statement, or official government letter dated within the last three months, showing your name and residential address.
Why did MyPrize reject my document?
Usually blur, glare, cropped edges, an expired ID, a name mismatch, or an address proof older than three months. We'll tell you which file and why so you can re-upload.
