Silver State Lottery – Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: [4/1/2025]

Welcome to Silver State Lottery (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Silver State Lottery website, platform, or any associated services (collectively, the “Services”). By creating an account, purchasing lottery tickets, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

“User,” “You,” or “Your” refers to any individual creating an account, purchasing lottery tickets, or otherwise interacting with the Services.

“KYC” (Know Your Customer) refers to our identity verification procedures required by law and internal policy.

“Nevada Law” refers to the statutes and regulations of the State of Nevada, including but not limited to NRS Chapters 462, 465, and 205.

“Chargeback Fraud” means initiating a payment reversal (chargeback) without valid grounds, especially after receiving goods or services.

2. Eligibility & Compliance

Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to register for or participate in any Silver State Lottery activity. Any violation of this age requirement will result in immediate account termination and potential referral to law enforcement.

Physical Location: To purchase lottery tickets, you must be physically located within the State of Nevada at the time of purchase. We use IP addresses, device data, and geolocation services to verify your location.

KYC Verification: You agree to undergo identity verification processes, which may include submitting government-issued identification and proof of address. Failure to complete KYC may result in denial of access to certain Services or forfeiture of winnings.

Prohibited Use of VPN/Proxy: Using a VPN, proxy server, or any tool to disguise your actual location is strictly prohibited. Violation will lead to immediate account suspension and any associated winnings may be voided.

3. No Refund Policy

All Sales Final: No refunds, returns, or exchanges are provided under any circumstances. Once your payment is processed, it is considered final.

Chargeback Prohibition: Any attempt to dispute or reverse a valid charge (e.g., a credit card chargeback) will be treated as Chargeback Fraud. We reserve the right to pursue legal and civil remedies to recover funds, fees, and damages.

Accepted Methods: We accept payments via:

Major Credit Cards/Debit Cards

Electronic Bank Transfers (where supported)

Select Cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum)

6. Location Verification & Geolocation

IP Tracking: We collect and store IP addresses for every click, login, and purchase. This data is used to verify compliance with location requirements and detect potential fraud.
