Prizegames.com's official statement
ENTERTAINMENT ONLY MODE
Based on our most current review of the emerging regulatory
environment surrounding various forms of Internet-based skill
games we have enabled Entertainment Only mode so that you may
participate in the game experience without any prize awards.
Arcade Planet has determined your geographic location using these methods:
IP Address: xx.yy.zz.aa .
To determine your geographical location we use the following
criteria, as is made available to us.
IP Address. Each time you register or logon and at various
intervals during an online session at this Arcade Planet powered
game site, Arcade Planet will check your IP address to help
determine to commercially reasonable standards the state from
which you are playing.
Billing Address. Each time you change your billing address we
check the state and country.
Shipping Address. Each time you change your shipping address we
check the state and country.
If any of the criteria used indicates you might be playing from
a state where skill games for prizes may be prohibited (an
"Ineligible State") then we enable Entertainment Only Mode.
Furthermore, merchandise or cash prizes will not be shipped to
any Ineligible States.
Ineligible States include:
ARIZONA
CONNECTICUT
ILLINOIS
INDIANA
IOWA
LOUISIANA
MISSISSIPPI
MONTANA
NEVADA
NEW JERSEY
NORTH CAROLINA
OKLAHOMA
SOUTH DAKOTA
WASHINGTON
If you are playing from an Eligible State (an Eligible State is
any state not listed above as an Ineligible State) and would
like to participate, please update your account information to
indicate properly that you are playing from an Eligible State.
1. Go to My Account to confirm that your Billing and Shipping
information does not indicate that you are playing from an
Ineligible State. Please note that we will validate your Billing
Address with your credit card issuer upon the purchase of game
credits and will not ship any merchandise or cash prizes to an
Ineligible State.
NOTE: After updating your account info, please sign out.
2. Check with your Internet service provider for alternatives to
more accurately indicate your geographic location.
Arcade Planet continues to monitor the requirements of various
jurisdictions and will update these jurisdictional controls as
warranted. Please check back regularly for updates.
