Play-for-fun currency. Players can buy Gold Coins. They have no cash value and can never be redeemed for cash or prizes.
Sold through Pay-In

Pay In. Pay Out. Separate Accounts. One Platform Experience.
Players buy Gold Coins through approved card and ACH pay-in accounts. Sweeps Coin redemptions are paid through a separately approved payout account. You see all three side by side — they never share money or approvals.
Product matrix
Gold Coins in. Sweeps Coins out.
Every room runs the sweepstakes dual-currency model. Pay-in only ever sells Gold Coins; payout only ever pays Sweeps Coin redemptions.
Sweeps Coins Promotional sweepstakes entries
Sweepstakes entries received for free — never sold. Sweeps Coins won in play can be redeemed for cash or gift cards after playthrough and identity verification.
Redeemed through Payout · never sold
Gold Coin purchases are not consideration for Sweeps Coins. Players buy Gold Coins; Sweeps Coins are always free — through the Alternative Method of Entry, promotions, or as a bonus with a Gold Coin package — and only Sweeps Coins can be redeemed.

No purchase necessary: free ways to get Sweeps Coins
Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE)A free way to request Sweeps Coins — typically a mail-in request — set out in the room’s official sweepstakes rules. Required: no purchase is ever necessary to play or win.
Daily login and promotional bonusesFree Sweeps Coins on a schedule the operator sets.
Bonus with a Gold Coin packageA free promotional add-on. The player pays for the Gold Coins, never for the Sweeps Coins.
The sweepstakes model is designed so that no purchase is necessary to participate or win. Whether it is permitted depends on the state, the room’s official rules, its free-entry method and the legal opinion — several states restrict or prohibit sweepstakes casinos, and card networks and processors apply their own rules. Rooms operate only where permitted.
