Casinos that offer Sweeps Coins block sign-ups from Nevada and won't pay prizes to accounts registered there. Using a VPN or a different address breaks every operator's terms; accounts caught doing it are closed and lose their balance. If you move to, or live in, a state where sweepstakes casinos operate, you can sign up there with your ID and address in that state.
