Short version, the sweepstakes model leans on no-purchase entry, which is what keeps it out of normal gambling law in most states. You can always get Sweeps Coins for free by mail or other promos, so legally it is treated as a contest, not a bet.
A few states do not buy that logic and have either banned the model or made operators pull out. The names that come up most are Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and Michigan, so those are the usual dead zones.
Best check is to just start the signup and see if it lets you complete registration and redeem in your state. If redemption is blocked, that is your answer.
