I signed up and played on Punt.com, made a $200 purchase via Apple Pay on January 29th, and had some good wins that got my redeemable Sweeps Coins balance up to around $2000. The games were fun, the site is easy to use, and I enjoyed the selection at first.
But when I tried switching games, my account suddenly froze. I contacted live chat immediately—they said they'd escalate it. Shortly after, I got a message saying I'd violated the Terms of Service and my account was permanently closed. That's all—no specific details about what I supposedly did wrong, just "security purposes" when I asked for an explanation.
I've read their Terms and Conditions carefully multiple times: no VPN, no multiple accounts, no foul language, no abusive behavior, nothing prohibited. My play was completely normal and legit. It feels like I finally hit a decent win, and instead of paying out, they just shut it down and kept the money.
The $2000 is still visible in the account records, but I can't redeem it. Support has been useless—copy-paste responses, no escalation, no help with gift cards or any alternative since I didn't have a bank linked (only Apple Pay). Persistent chats and emails get nowhere.
This seems like a classic case of these sweepstakes sites closing accounts right after wins to avoid payouts. The lack of transparency and refusal to explain or release funds is deceptive and unfair. I wouldn't recommend Punt.com if you're planning to win anything significant—they might just take it away without reason.
Avoid if you value fair play and actual redemptions.
