Primary sources: Shuffle rules · Shuffle help states
The official Shuffle.us sweepstakes rules exclude Florida, Georgia, Hawaii and Maryland in their general eligibility paragraph, yet a later prize-redemption paragraph names a shorter set of exclusions and specifically discusses a Florida prize cap. The July 2026 help article lists those four states as accepted. These documents cannot jointly establish eligibility. Do not use this guide as permission to enter, purchase, or claim a prize; ask the operator for written confirmation and review the laws applicable to your location.
Important: the operator documents conflict internally
A single published “accepted states” list is not sufficient
Shuffle.us requires players to be both residents of and physically present within a permitted jurisdiction, according to its July 20, 2026 help article. The official sweepstakes rules publish a broader restricted-state list that contradicts part of that article. This page does not decide legal availability for an individual.
Compare the July 2026 help-center list with the official sweepstakes rules.
Conflicting official statements: examples
| State or jurisdiction | July 2026 help article | Sweepstakes rules eligibility paragraph | Our publication decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | Listed as accepted | Listed as excluded | Unresolved; confirm directly |
| Georgia | Listed as accepted | Listed as excluded | Unresolved; confirm directly |
| Hawaii | Listed as accepted | Listed as excluded | Unresolved; confirm directly |
| Maryland | Listed as accepted | Listed as excluded | Unresolved; confirm directly |
| District of Columbia | Not listed in accepted states | Listed as excluded in one paragraph; elsewhere redemption language differs | Unresolved; do not assume available |
How to check your own eligibility safely
- Start with your legal residence and the place you are physically located now.
- Compare the current operator terms, sweepstakes rules and official support article.
- When sources differ, contact operator support and request current written clarification.
- Do not infer eligibility from a working website, an accepted payment method, or a promotional banner.
- Do not use VPNs or inaccurate identity information to bypass restrictions.
Eligibility also depends on the operator’s age, identity, account standing and promotion-specific requirements.
Different rules may apply at different stages
| Stage | Why the check matters |
|---|---|
| Viewing the website | Site accessibility is not a sweepstakes eligibility determination |
| Creating an account | Terms may require identifying information and age verification |
| Promotional play | Permitted jurisdiction and promotion rules must be satisfied |
| Redemption | Operator may require additional identity and payment checks |
Why the rules page itself needs clarification
The current sweepstakes rules contain differing text in the general eligibility section and later redemption-related language, including a reference to Florida. These passages should not be reconciled by a third-party affiliate site. We explicitly disclose the conflict and do not claim that any example state has been authorized by this article.

Conflicting official sources: why a simple permitted-state list is unsafe
The July 20, 2026 restricted-states help article includes Florida, Georgia, Hawaii and Maryland in its accepted-states list. The published sweepstakes rules contain different exclusions. Both sources are official, and this site cannot determine which text governs a particular account or promotion.
Visitors should not treat a state listed in one document as confirmed eligible. Shuffle.us says users must meet both residence and physical-presence requirements. Access to a webpage alone does not establish eligibility.
Eligibility verification decision path
- Find your state in the current operator help guidance and the applicable sweepstakes rules.
- If the documents differ, regard participation eligibility as unresolved; contact Shuffle.us directly for written clarification.
- Confirm both permanent residence and present physical location, rather than assuming travel is irrelevant.
- Review the verification requirements separately from eligibility.
- Do not use a VPN or incorrect profile information to bypass geographic checks.
This comparison documents a contradiction; it is not a legal opinion or a state-by-state authorization table.
Official-source conflict — not a state eligibility determination
The operator’s July 20, 2026 help article names Florida, Georgia, Hawaii and Maryland among accepted states, while its published sweepstakes rules exclude them. Its Terms and its Sweepstakes Rules also differ in their excluded-territories wording. These materials cannot establish participation eligibility for any particular user. Do not attempt promotional participation or redeem prizes based on this page; seek written clarification from the operator and check applicable law.
