AMOE Letter Writing: The Template & Format Rules That Get Approved

Why the Format Matters More Than the Words

An AMOE (Alternative Method of Entry) letter is how you claim free Sweeps Coins by mail with no purchase. Operators approve thousands of these requests — and silently reject the ones that break format rules. The rules exist to stop automated bulk entries, which is why nearly every casino demands handwritten cards, a specific ink color, and a request code tied to your account. This page gives you the template and explains each field; for how AMOE works overall, start with our complete AMOE guide.

The Copy-Ready AMOE Letter Template

Handwrite the following on a blank, unlined white card or paper (4"×6" is the safest size — some brands specify it, none reject it). Do not print this template and mail it; copying it out by hand is the whole point.

The declaration sentence is not decorative — most operators publish an exact required statement in their sweeps rules and reject cards that deviate from it. McLuck's version, for example, names B-Two Operations Limited and mcluck.com specifically. Copy the exact sentence from the casino's own rules page, word for word.

Field-by-Field: Why Each Rule Exists

• Handwriting (mandatory) — Printed or typed cards are auto-rejected. Handwriting throttles bulk submissions, which is why it's the single most universal AMOE rule. Write legibly; illegible cards are a top rejection reason.
• Ink color (brand-specific) — McLuck, Pulsz, and Hello Millions require any color except black (blue recommended). Crown Coins requires blue only. WOW Vegas flips it entirely: black ink only, in ALL CAPS. One ink color for the whole card — never mix.
• Request code (where required) — Generated inside your account (usually linked from the Sweepstakes Rules page), the code ties the card to you and expires: about 25 days at McLuck and Hello Millions, about 30 at Pulsz. Write it in the top-left corner of the card and, where the rules say so, on the envelope too.
• Name, address, and email must match your account — Operators credit the account the details point to. A nickname, an old address, or a secondary email means no SC, with no error message.
• The envelope — Use a standard #10 envelope with a First-Class stamp and your return address. Most brands require extra markings: McLuck wants "mcluck.com, Sweepstakes Coins" and your request code in the corner; Crown Coins wants "Sweepstakes Coins" written on it; WOW Vegas wants "Request for SC Credits" on the back. One card per envelope, always.
• Card size — Where a size is specified it's a 4"×6" (occasionally 3"×5") blank unlined card or equivalent paper, unfolded where the rules say so. Blank and unlined matters — some operators reject lined notebook paper.

Common Rejection Reasons

• Typed or printed card instead of handwritten
• Wrong ink color for that specific casino
• Missing, expired, or mistyped request code
• Details that don't match your registered account (name, email, address)
• Multiple request cards stuffed into one envelope
• Outdated mailing address — addresses change; verify in the current rules
• Declaration sentence missing or reworded
• Illegible handwriting

Rejections are silent: the SC simply never arrives. Keep a note of the date you mailed each request, and if nothing appears after the casino's stated processing window (see our per-casino AMOE rules comparison), contact support with that date.
