Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg has made a splash in the sweepstakes casino sector by teaming up with iGaming tech company Trivelta, announcing the launch of Dogg House Casino in the United States.
This platform is designed as a unique online casino experience driven by an artist’s vision, merging iGaming with the essence of hip-hop culture and music. Trivelta indicated that the creation was tailored to fit Snoop Dogg’s artistic style, featuring carefully selected audio and design components woven throughout the gambling interface.
“For the first time, players can immerse themselves in a casino shaped by my vision,” stated Snoop Dogg. “The music, the ambiance, the games – I envisioned something fresh, engaging, and enjoyable. Working alongside Trivelta and Death Row Games, I brought this concept to life.”
According to Trivelta CEO Carson Hubbard, Snoop Dogg played a hands-on role during the development phase. “It’s unusual to collaborate with an artist who is so thoroughly engaged in the product,” Hubbard commented. “Snoop influenced the aesthetics, sound, and atmosphere of Dogg House Casino, forging a blend of iGaming, music, and culture.”
Typically, sweepstakes casinos position themselves as free-to-play platforms, featuring a dual-currency model that allows certain virtual credits to be exchanged for real cash rewards.
Dogg House Casino operates with Dogg Coins for casual gaming and Dogg Cash for participation in sweepstakes, which “can be utilized and redeemed for cash.” The operator clarifies that they do not operate on the same deposit model as traditional real-money betting sites.
“Instead, we utilize a dual-currency framework: Dogg Coins for recreational play and Dogg Cash for engaging in sweepstakes,” the website details.
This sweepstakes arrangement is primarily utilized for promotional endeavors. “Sweepstakes serve as a popular marketing strategy employed by various companies to advertise their offerings,” stated Dogg House Casino.
Players can accumulate credits via purchases or daily bonuses. New users will receive a 50% bonus on their initial Dogg Cash acquisition, capped at $100. Additionally, each day a user logs in, the casino rewards them with 1 Dogg Cash and 1,000 Dogg Coins.
Dogg House Casino showcases over 500 games, encompassing slots, crash games, RNG table games, and 24/7 live-dealer services for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and craps. Unique branded games such as Snoop Blackjack, Snoop Crazy Dogg Cross, and Snoop Dogg Poker invite users to compete at public tables, and they can even host private games featuring Snoop Dogg himself.
The platform offers around-the-clock customer support along with immediate prize redemption capabilities.
Dogg House Casino operates its free-to-play model across the nation but excludes sweepstakes games in California, Connecticut, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and Tennessee.
The American Gaming Association has criticized the operations of sweepstakes casinos, contending they function outside regulated frameworks.
“These operators present themselves akin to legal, regulated platforms, but they bypass lawful standards and regulations,” remarked AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York. “There’s a dire lack of responsible gaming tools, regulatory oversight, and consumer protection, exposing players to real risks.”
