Transparency You Can Trust
You may notice small notices or labels on PlayUSA actions that say things like:
“This action earns promotional Coins.”
or
“You may receive rewards for completing this activity.”
These messages are part of FTC (Federal Trade Commission) disclosure requirements, and they’re an important way we keep Play Perks fair, transparent, and compliant with U.S. law.
Here’s what these notices mean — and why they matter to you.

1. What Is the FTC and Why Does It Matter?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a U.S. government agency that protects consumers and ensures fairness in advertising, marketing, and online promotions.
Under FTC guidelines, companies must clearly disclose when users receive something of value — even virtual rewards — for taking specific actions like:
- Writing a review or rating
- Clicking an affiliate link
- Participating in a promotional offer
This helps ensure all readers and participants understand when an action is “incentivized.”
2. What Is an Incentive Disclosure?
An incentive disclosure is a clear, visible statement that lets users know when completing an action will earn Coins, points, or other rewards.
In Play Perks, you’ll see disclosures like:
“This action earns promotional Coins.”
or
“Completing this task may earn Play Perks rewards.”
These labels are displayed near all eligible actions — such as reviews, ratings, or affiliate offers — so there’s never confusion about which activities earn Coins.
3. Why We Use Disclosure Notices
PlayUSA uses incentive notices for three main reasons:
✅ Transparency — So users always know when an action is connected to a reward.
✅ Compliance — To meet FTC rules for incentivized endorsements and online promotions.
✅ Trust — To maintain fairness and honesty between PlayUSA, our users, and our affiliate partners.
When you see a disclosure, it means the program is operating ethically and openly — exactly how we want Play Perks to function.
4. Examples of Where You’ll See Disclosures
You might see these notices in places like:
- Near review submission forms (“Earn Coins for sharing your experience!”)
- Beside star rating tools on casino pages
- Next to affiliate links or “Visit Site” buttons for partner casinos
- On the Earn Coins page next to eligible tasks
- In campaign banners or limited-time promotional events
Disclosures always appear before you take the action — so you know upfront that it’s incentivized.

5. What Counts as an Incentivized Action
Any action that earns Coins or rewards is considered “incentivized” under FTC guidelines.
Common examples include:
- Writing or submitting a review
- Rating a casino or game
- Clicking a PlayUSA affiliate link
- Joining a campaign or promotional event
- Completing a partner offer or demo
Disclosures help you — and other users — recognize when actions are promotional rather than completely independent.

6. What If You Don’t See a Notice?
If you complete an action that does not display an incentive disclosure, that means it does not earn Coins or promotional rewards.
PlayUSA clearly separates incentivized actions from regular site features to maintain clarity and transparency.
If you ever believe a disclosure is missing or unclear, you can contact PlayUSA Customer Support for clarification.

7. Why This Protects You
FTC disclosures exist to protect users from deceptive or hidden promotions.
By labeling all incentivized actions clearly, PlayUSA ensures that:
- You always know when you’re earning promotional rewards.
- Readers of your reviews or ratings understand they were rewarded.
- PlayUSA stays fully compliant with federal advertising laws.
It’s part of our commitment to running a program that’s transparent, honest, and responsible.
8. Fraud, Abuse, and Compliance
Failure to comply with FTC disclosure rules — such as attempting to remove or hide required notices — violates the Play Perks Terms & Conditions and may result in:
- Coin removal or forfeiture
- Account suspension
- Loss of eligibility for future rewards
All Play Perks actions are reviewed to ensure consistent, lawful application of disclosure standards.

Important Notes
- All incentivized actions display clear disclosure notices as required by U.S. law.
- Coins are promotional only and have no cash value.
- Disclosures must remain visible and unaltered wherever they appear.
- PlayUSA may update disclosure formats or placements to stay current with FTC guidance.
In Summary
Play Perks shows incentive notices because it’s the right — and legal — thing to do.
These labels help you understand when actions earn promotional rewards, ensure compliance with FTC guidelines, and maintain the honesty that makes PlayUSA a trusted platform.
When you see a disclosure like “This action earns promotional Coins,” it’s your assurance that Play Perks is being transparent with you — every step of the way.
