How The Two-Coin Model Works
One currency you play with and one that can turn into a prize. Everything else about sweepstakes casinos follows from that split.
Why Two Currencies Exist
The legal basisA sweepstakes casino is not a licensed gambling operator. It runs a promotion, and promotions cannot require payment to enter. That is the whole reason the two-coin structure exists: one balance is entertainment, the other is the sweepstakes entry that can be redeemed.
Gold Coins
Play currency, and the source of nearly every large number in sweepstakes advertising. They can be bought, won and spent forever, and they convert to nothing. On this site they are always reported as context and never counted as value.
The redeemable coin
Usually labelled SC. It arrives with signup, with daily login bonuses, through promotions, sometimes by post, and as a free attachment to a coin purchase. It cannot be bought directly, and it is the only balance the cashier will pay out.
What Happens Step By Step
Signup to payoutIdentity and age confirmed at signup. Doing it now rather than at redemption is the difference between a fast payout and a slow one.
Signup credit, then daily bonuses and promotions. Only the redeemable coin is worth tracking.
Reach the operator minimum. On our board that ranges from fifty to one hundred coins.
File the withdrawal. We measured twenty-two to seventy hours to funds received.
Reading An Offer Properly
Two listsSignals worth having
- A redeemable figure stated in its own right
- A stated redemption minimum
- Guaranteed daily bonuses rather than wheel spins
- A published payout method and timeframe
Signals that mean nothing
- Coin totals with no currency named
- Percentage matches on optional purchases
- VIP points redeemable for play currency only
- Best-case wheel values quoted as a bonus
