How It Works

Sweepstakes casinos use a two-currency system that separates social play from promotional sweepstakes. At SweepFan Casino, that means Gold Coins (GC) for everyday, play-for-fun action, and Sweeps Coins (SC) for sweepstakes play that can, if you meet the rules, be redeemed for cash or gift-card prizes. The separation keeps casual gaming simple while giving players a clear way to enter promotional prize draws without making any purchase.

This page breaks down how each currency works, how to get SC without buying anything, how gameplay and redemptions operate, and what to expect during registration and verification. All offers are subject to terms and conditions, and gameplay is intended for entertainment purposes only.

Two currencies, two ways to play

Gold Coins (GC)

• Used for standard social casino play.
• Play slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker, and live dealer tables in GC for fun only—no cash withdrawals.
• GC are ideal for practicing games and enjoying extended play sessions.

Sweeps Coins (SC)

• Used for sweepstakes-style play that may be eligible for prize redemption.
• Certain SC are “qualifying” once they meet the platform’s playthrough and other requirements.
• Qualifying SC can be redeemed for cash prizes or gift cards after you meet the redemption rules.

Think of GC as your free play balance and SC as your sweepstakes entries that can turn into prize opportunities if you follow the rules.

How to get Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins

Purchases

• The current welcome package includes 50,000 GC plus 50 SC attached to a $19.99 purchase package.
• When you buy a package, GC are added for immediate social play, and the attached SC are added for sweepstakes play.

No-purchase methods

• Free sign-up rewards add SC to new accounts—SweepFan offers up to 3 SC across the first three days when you log in daily.
• Daily login rewards continue to offer GC and occasional SC as part of regular promotions.
• Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE): you can request 3 SC per valid mail-in request by generating a code at sweepfan.com/amoe and following the specified mailing instructions. AMOE credits arrive in 10 to 20 days after the request is validated.

Promotions

• Limited-time promotions, seasonal offers, and special bundles periodically add extra GC or SC. Always check the promotion details and deadlines, and review the full terms and conditions for each offer.

Gameplay: what you can expect

Game types

• SweepFan features slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker, craps-style games, and live dealer titles from studios including Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Betsoft, and many others.
• Games playable with GC are for entertainment only. Games playable with SC are the ones that count toward sweepstakes activity.

How bets work

• When you wager GC, you’re enjoying social play with no prize-redemption path.
• When you wager SC, results determine whether SC are credited or spent. Qualifying SC must meet a 1x playthrough requirement before they’re eligible for redemption, which helps confirm genuine gameplay before prizes are issued.

Player benefits

• SC play gives real opportunities to redeem prizes while still being structured as sweepstakes entertainment.
• GC play provides unlimited practice and casual fun without affecting your ability to enter sweepstakes through SC.

Redeeming Sweeps Coins for prizes

Qualification

• Qualifying Sweeps Coins must meet the platform’s playthrough requirement—currently 1x on SC—before they become eligible for redemption.
• The minimum redemption amount is 100 qualifying SC.

Redemption options

• Qualifying SC can be redeemed for cash prizes or gift-card prizes, according to the site’s redemption options.
• Payouts follow the platform’s verification and processing procedures and are subject to terms, including any taxes or reporting requirements that may apply.

Timing and identity checks

• Expect identity verification before cash redemptions. This helps protect players and comply with legal requirements.
• Processing times vary; SweepFan promotes user-friendly payout options and aims for fast handling once verification is complete. Check the terms and your account for current processing windows.

Registration and verification made simple

Sign-up

• Create an account with an email address and a secure password. Provide accurate information during registration to avoid issues later.
• New accounts can claim no-purchase rewards, daily login bonuses, and purchase-based welcome offers.

Verification

• For prize redemption and some payment methods, you’ll complete identity verification. That may include a government ID, proof of address, and a selfie or similar step.
• Verification protects your account and speeds up withdrawals once you redeem won prizes.

Account security

• Use a strong password, enable any available account protection features, and keep your contact details current to receive updates and verification notices.

Promotions, daily rewards, and the mail-in option

Daily rewards

• Log in daily to collect GC and occasional SC bonuses. New players receive up to 3 SC across the first three login days as part of the free sign-up path.
• Promotions change regularly; check the promotions page and the site’s notifications to claim time-limited rewards before they expire.

AMOE mail-in

• If you prefer not to purchase, the AMOE lets you request 3 SC per valid mail-in request. Generate a request code at sweepfan.com/amoe, follow the envelope and handwriting requirements precisely, and submit by mail.
• AMOE credits are added in 10 to 20 days after validation. Keep copies of your mail-in materials until you see the SC in your account.

Always read each promotion’s terms and conditions to confirm eligibility, expiration dates, and any wagering or redemption rules.

Where you can play, eligibility, and legal notes

Geolocation and availability

• Gameplay uses geolocation tools to ensure you’re located in an eligible state before you can participate in sweepstakes or redeem prizes.
• SweepFan is open to eligible legal residents of the United States who are not in restricted territories. The following states are restricted and cannot participate: California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington.

Age and eligibility

• You must be of legal age in your state and meet the platform’s eligibility rules to play or redeem prizes.

Responsible play

• Sweepstakes play is intended for entertainment. Do not view SC play as a source of guaranteed income. If you need help with gambling-related concerns, use available self-exclusion or deposit-limiting tools and consult responsible-play resources.
