So Why Can't Other sweepstakes Companies Implement the Same Sweepstakes Model?
Regulatory & Partner risks: Our competitors are generally reluctant to explore innovative models that are not considered "mainstream". This extends to key marketing, distribution and payment processing partners, who competitors would need to satisfy as to the legitimacy of their business model, a process which has taken 777SweepStakes Casino several years. Technology & Operations: The technology required to operate a sweepstakes prize platform is very different to that of a virtual currency only game, requiring far more robust, secure and thorough gameplay and reporting functionality. Operations supporting sweepstakes are also very different to games companies, as the payments, fraud and customer service profiles are very different.
