How It Works

A sweepstakes casino mixes free-to-play social gaming with real prize potential. Instead of buying direct-entry gambling chips, players use two virtual currencies — Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins — to play the same games you already know: slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker, craps, and live dealer titles. Gold Coins are for entertainment and promotions, while Sweeps Coins are the special currency that can be redeemed for prizes after play. This page explains how both work, how to get Sweeps Coins without paying, and what to expect when you cash out.

Gold Coins vs. Sweeps Coins — what’s the real difference?

Gold Coins

• Meant for fun play and promotions.
• Can be purchased in packages, included in bonuses, and used across games.
• Cannot be redeemed for cash or prizes.
• No wagering requirements because they’re not eligible for redemption.

Sweeps Coins

• The sweepstakes currency that can be turned into prizes after meeting play requirements.
• Obtained via promotional grants, packaged offers that include Sweeps Coins, or alternative entry methods.
• Subject to a 1x playthrough requirement before winnings are eligible for redemption.
• Redeemable for cash prizes or gift cards once you meet verification and minimum redemption thresholds.

How you obtain Sweeps Coins — paid and no-purchase options

You do not need to make a purchase to receive Sweeps Coins. Common ways to get them include:

• Welcome bonus: Automatic credit upon sign-up — typically includes a large amount of Gold Coins plus a small Sweeps Coins grant (for example, 2 Sweeps Coins with the no-deposit welcome offer).
• First purchase package: Small purchases often include bonus Sweeps Coins (example: a $10 purchase may include 40 Sweeps Coins and extra Gold Coins).
• Daily login rewards: Earn Gold Coins every day, plus Sweeps Coins when you maintain a login streak — for example, up to 1 Sweeps Coin per day, growing to a weekly total with consecutive days.
• Mail-in request: A free, no-purchase entry route where you mail a postcard or letter with a request code to the address provided on-site; approved requests typically credit a set amount of Sweeps Coins (for example, 5 Sweeps Coins per approved request). Processing can take up to 10 business days.
• Other promotions: Limited-time campaigns and seasonal giveaways that include Sweeps Coins.

Important: Sweeps Coins cannot be purchased outright. Many paid Gold Coin packages include Sweeps Coins as a bonus, but direct purchase of Sweeps Coins is not offered.

Playing with Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins — what happens during gameplay

• Both Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins are used in the same games on the platform, so play feels identical whether you’re using entertainment currency or sweeps currency.
• All Sweeps Coins-eligible games contribute 100% toward the required 1x playthrough before you can redeem winnings. That includes slots, table games, video poker, and others.
• Gold Coins are for practice, bonuses, and continuing the fun — they do not count toward redemption.
• The platform uses familiar software providers like Betsoft to power games, so mechanics such as paylines, RTP, and volatility translate into player benefits: more frequent small wins, higher payout potential, or steadier bankroll runs depending on the game you choose.
• There are no guaranteed outcomes — gameplay is intended for entertainment and based on chance.

Redeeming Sweeps Coins for prizes — the step-by-step

1. Meet the playthrough: Winnings from Sweeps Coins must satisfy a 1x playthrough requirement before you request redemption.
2. Reach the minimum: The standard minimum redemption threshold is 100 Sweeps Coins.
3. Verify your account: For cashout, you’ll need to complete identity verification — photo ID, proof of address, and proof of age. Players must be 21 or older and located in eligible United States states. Accounts showing bonus abuse or irregular activity may be suspended.
4. Choose a payout method: Redemption options vary; common payout methods include bank transfer, Skrill, and ACH. Limits vary by method — for example, Skrill transfers may be capped around $5,000 per day, while bank transfers can allow higher amounts. All redemptions are subject to verification and anti-fraud checks.
5. Processing and timing: Payout timing varies by method and verification status. Expect some administrative processing time; verified users typically receive funds faster. Terms and conditions list specific timing and limits.

Registration and verification made simple

• Create an account with your email and a strong password; basic details are required to set up the account.
• Confirm your location and age at registration — only players located in eligible United States states can receive and redeem Sweeps Coins. The platform is not available in Washington, Idaho, Michigan, Nevada, and New York.
• To withdraw winnings, follow the identity verification flow: upload a valid photo ID, a proof-of-address document, and any additional materials requested for anti-fraud checks.
• Verification protects both you and the site, and it’s required before any cashout is completed.

Promotions, daily rewards, and play incentives

• Welcome offers: New accounts typically receive a no-deposit welcome package with Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins automatically upon registration.
• Purchase packages: Small purchases of Gold Coins often include bonus Sweeps Coins. Example: a $10 purchase can include a bundled Sweeps Coins bonus.
• Daily login streaks: Log in daily to collect Gold Coins and earn Sweeps Coins as part of a streak-based reward system — the more consecutive days, the higher the Sweeps Coins payout for that week.
• Limited-time campaigns: Special events may raise Sweeps Coins bonuses or offer bonus Gold Coins to keep gameplay engaging.
• All promotions are subject to the platform’s terms and conditions, including playthrough, expiration, and eligibility rules.

Free-entry alternative: how to mail in for Sweeps Coins

If you prefer not to purchase anything, the mail-in method is a reliable no-purchase route:

• Get the mail-in request code from the site.
• Write a postcard or letter including that code, your account name, and any required information, and send it to the address listed on the promotions page.
• You can generally submit one request per day. Approved requests take up to 10 business days to process and commonly credit a set number of Sweeps Coins, such as 5 Sweeps Coins.
• Keep records of your mailing and the date sent. Mail-in rules, processing times, and approval criteria are detailed in the terms and conditions.

Payout methods, limits, and important rules

• Accepted payment methods for deposits and withdrawals may include ACH, American Express, MasterCard, PaySafeCard, and Skrill. Availability depends on your chosen method and state regulations.
• Sweeps Coins winnings must meet identity verification and redemption minimums. Daily and per-method caps apply; some payment channels, like Skrill, may limit amounts to a few thousand dollars per day.
• There’s no lifetime cap on redemptions, but all withdrawals are subject to verification and anti-fraud reviews.
• Unplayed Sweeps Coins can expire after a period of inactivity — review the terms for specific expiration timelines.
• Violations such as creating multiple accounts, attempting bonus abuse, or submitting fraudulent documentation can result in forfeiture of balances and account suspension.
