How Prize Coins Work

Two Currencies

Gold Coins are for play. You can hold millions of them, spin every game in a lobby and end the night with nothing to withdraw, because a Gold Coin has no redemption value at any balance anywhere in this zone.

Sweeps Coins are the prize currency. They arrive free with a package, attach to a purchase as a bonus, or drop in through daily collections and giveaways. Stake one and it becomes redeemable, which is when a gift card or bank transfer becomes possible.

Why The Headline Misleads

Promotions lead with the Gold Coin figure because it looks bigger. We print both, because half a million Gold Coins with two Sweeps Coins is a far smaller prize than a hundred and thirty thousand with sixty-five.

Playthrough And The Floor

Two conditions stand between a Sweeps Coin balance and money. Playthrough means staking each coin once, which is much lighter than casino wagering. The floor is the minimum redeemable balance a site will process, usually fifty to a hundred coins.

• A large package with a low floor is the best combination available
• A small package with a high floor is a long collection routine
• A fast payout on top of either is what separates zone one from zone two

You never have to buy

Every site in the zone provides a free route in, written into the rules as a daily collection, a social giveaway or a postal request. Purchases exist to unlock larger opening packages, not to open the door.

What a payout looks like

You file a request, the site verifies your identity once, and the money returns as a gift card code or a bank transfer. Gift cards were faster at every site we tested, and first payouts are always the slowest because verification only happens once.
