The short answer
Does calling a game a sweepstakes make it permissible? See the New Hampshire evidence and the separate access rules for McLuck and Card Crush.
New Hampshire’s gambling chapter defines sweepstakes broadly, including chance-based prize promotions with or without payment. It addresses gambling and particular forms of sweepstakes activity through specific provisions. New Hampshire RSA chapter 647
Access as of November 10, 2026. Neither operator names New Hampshire in its general territory exclusions. That leaves prize eligibility unconfirmed for both McLuck sweepstakes and Card Crush prize games: supplier rules and state law still apply. McLuck’s November 4 terms · Card Crush’s August 5 terms
Does calling a game a sweepstakes make it permissible?
Chapter 647’s definition can include prize promotions whether or not payment is required. Read the provision for the particular activity after identifying the definition. For a two-mode app, keep the entertainment-only game separate from the mode in which you can gain a redeemable prize.
To distinguish a play mode from the prize it offers, compare how the models award value.
