Section 2143b expressly excludes the cost of mailing an entry from what counts as risking money or another thing of value. Vermont Statutes, 13 V.S.A. §2143b

Access as of November 10, 2026. Neither operator names Vermont 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 an entrant have to put something of value at risk?

Postage on a free mail-in entry is one cost the statute addresses. An obligation to buy a package is a different condition. Compare what a free entrant and a box buyer can do. If the purchase supplies a card, identify any additional step the player must take before a prize can be won.

If the offer describes free entry, find the route and its conditions in the promotion rules. For the distinctions between types of games, compare the models.

Next change: no future effective date for either model is confirmed in the sources cited here.
