Sweepstakes guide
How sweeps play works
Two coin types, two different jobs. This page explains both in plain language. The full legal terms live in the Official Sweepstakes Rules — this guide is a summary, not the rules.
Gold Coins (GC)
- For social play only — spinning, dealing, learning the games.
- GC have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
- Use GC tables to practice strategy with zero prize mechanics involved.
Sweeps Coins (SC)
- Free promotional entries for sweepstakes games — never sold.
- Each SC play is one sweepstakes entry.
- 1 SC equals $1.00 in prize value once it becomes redeemable.
- All SC must be played at least once (1x playthrough) before becoming redeemable.
The key numbers, all in one place
- Price of SC
- Free, always. SC are never sold and no dollar-to-SC conversion is shown anywhere.
- Playthrough
- 1x — every SC, from every source, must be played once before it can be redeemed.
- Minimum redemption
- 25 SC, paid by bank transfer to a bank account in your own name. No gift cards, no crypto.
- Verification first
- Full identity verification (Tier 2) must pass before your first redemption — government ID, selfie check, residency, and screening.
Every way to get SC is free
No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and a purchase never improves your chances. SC from every source behave identically — same games, same 1x playthrough, same redemption rules.
- Signup credit: 2 SC free on verified account creation.
- Daily credit: 1 SC free daily login credit, subject to published caps.
- Bonus with Gold Coin packages: SC may be included free as a bonus alongside GC packages. The package leads with GC; SC are labeled FREE bonus.
- Mail-in entry (AMOE): free, no purchase necessary. Get a code on the free entry page; how to enter by mail is set out in the Official Sweepstakes Rules.
Who can play with SC
- 21 or older, with age verified before any SC is credited.
- Physically located in an SC-permitted state at entry, play, and redemption (currently AK, AR, CO, GA, KS, MO, NE, NH, NM, NC, ND, OR, SC, SD, TX, and WI). Everywhere else is Gold Coin play only.
- One account per person. Void where prohibited.
SC expire after 12 months of inactivity, with email reminders 30 days and 7 days before expiry. Prize redemptions are taxable income; forms are issued where thresholds apply.
