Gold Coins: play for fun

Gold Coins have no cash value. You get them free when you sign up and every day, and you can buy more packs if you want. They exist purely for entertainment.

No purchase necessary

Every site must offer a free way to get Sweeps Coins, usually a mail-in request and daily login rewards. Buying Gold Coins never improves your odds.

Location matters

Verification

FAQ

Quick answers before you sign up.

Are sweepstakes casinos legal?

They operate under US sweepstakes and promotion laws rather than gambling licenses, and they are available in most states. Several states, including California, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, have restricted or banned them, and others are reviewing the model. Each site blocks the states where its sweepstakes are void.

Do I have to buy anything?

No. Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins are available free through sign-up offers, daily bonuses and mail-in requests. Purchases are optional and buy Gold Coins, which have no cash value.

How old do I need to be?

18 or older at most sites, and 21 or older in some states and at some sites. Every site verifies age before a prize redemption.

How do redemptions work?

Once you have enough Sweeps Coins won through play, and have met the site's play-through rule, you can request a prize redemption after verifying your identity. Minimums and timing differ by site.

How does this site make money?

Some links are affiliate links: if you sign up or buy through them we may earn a commission from the site, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which states we mark as restricted.

Keep it fun.

Set a budget for optional purchases, take breaks, and never play to win back money. Every site offers purchase limits, time-outs and self-exclusion — use them.
