Coin Basics For New Members
Two currencies share every club, and only one can become a prize. This is the difference the welcome banners blur.
Gold Coins
Play money. Issued by the million because it costs nothing, impossible to redeem, and genuinely useful for learning a lobby without spending. A large Gold Coin headline says nothing about the value of a welcome.
Sweeps Coins
The promotional currency with a redemption route. Play each coin through once and the balance can, at the club floor, be exchanged for a cash prize or a gift card. Every judgement in this ledger is a Sweeps Coin judgement.
Why no purchase is required
US sweepstakes rules require a free route in. In practice that is a daily bonus, an on-site giveaway, a social drop or a postal request. Buying a coin package purchases play money; the Sweeps Coins bundled with it are a promotional extra.
Playthrough and the floor
Playthrough means each Sweeps Coin must be wagered once before it counts. The floor is the minimum redeemable balance a club will process, usually 50 to 100 SC. Two coins in front of a 75 coin floor is an invitation to return, not a payout.
- Gold Coins: unlimited, free, worthless at the cashier
- Sweeps Coins: one playthrough, then redeemable at the floor
- Floors in this ledger: 50 SC to 100 SC
- Every club here has a free entry route
