How A Sweeps Prize Works
Two currencies, one of which can pay you. Once that clicks, every promotion on the market becomes easy to read.
Two Currencies, One Payout Route
A sweeps casino runs on Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins. Gold Coins are the entertainment currency. You can hold millions of them, play every game in the lobby and finish the night with nothing to withdraw, because Gold Coins have no redemption value at any balance.
Sweeps Coins are the other half. They come free with a package, arrive as a bonus attached to a purchase, or drop into the account through daily collections and social giveaways. Play a Sweeps Coin through once and it becomes redeemable, which means you can ask for a gift card or a bank transfer.
Why The Headline Number Is Misleading
Promotions lead with the Gold Coin figure because it is bigger. Half a million reads better than two. On this site we publish both numbers side by side on every ticket, because a package of 500,000 Gold Coins and two Sweeps Coins is a far smaller prize than 130,000 Gold Coins and sixty-five.
No purchase is needed
Every site we graded provides a free route in, usually a daily collection, a social media giveaway or a postal request written into the rules. Purchases exist to unlock larger first packages, not to open the door.
The Three Numbers That Decide A Prize
- The redeemable figure: how many Sweeps Coins arrived with the package
- The withdrawal floor: the balance you must pass before a payout can be filed
- The round trip: hours between filing a withdrawal and holding the money
Nothing else on a promotion page changes the value of a prize as much as those three. Everything on this site is built around measuring them and printing them where you can see them.
What playthrough means here
Most sites ask that a Sweeps Coin is staked once before it counts as redeemable. That is far lighter than a real-money casino wagering requirement, and it is usually cleared in a single session. If a site asks for more than one pass, we say so on its ticket.
