How It Works

How It Works

Two balances per account, and only one of them can become a prize. Every figure on this site follows from that split.

The promotional model

Why Two Currencies Exist

These operators hold no gambling licence. They run promotions, and a promotion in the United States cannot require payment to enter. The two-coin structure is how that rule is met while the games still behave like casino games.

Gold Coins

Play currency, and the source of nearly every enormous figure in sweepstakes advertising. Buyable, winnable, endlessly playable and convertible into nothing. Counted at zero on this site.

The redeemable coin

Usually SC. It arrives with signup, daily bonuses, promotions, sometimes postal entry, and free alongside a coin purchase. It cannot be bought on its own, and it is the only balance the cashier pays.

The rule behind the modelNo purchase is necessary to enter or win. Remove the free route and the promotion stops being a sweepstakes.
Four stages

Signup To Payout

Stage 01

Register and verify

Name, address, date of birth and usually a document check. Doing it before you play keeps verification out of the way of your first redemption.

Stage 02

Collect free credit

Signup credit, then daily bonuses, promotions, mail-in routes and social giveaways. Only the redeemable coin is worth tracking.

Stage 03

Reach the floor

No operator processes a redemption below its minimum. Across the eighteen here that runs from fifty to one hundred coins.

Stage 04

File and wait

Redemptions go to bank transfer, card or a gift card equivalent. We measured twenty-two to seventy hours to funds received.
