How It Works

Sweepstakes casinos use two separate currencies so players can enjoy games for entertainment and, when eligible, redeem prizes from a separate sweepstakes balance. At Scoop Casino you’ll see Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins on your account. Gold Coins are for play only and have no cash value. Sweeps Coins carry a cash-equivalent value — 1 Sweeps Coin equals $1 — and can be redeemed for cash or gift cards after meeting the platform’s playthrough and verification rules.

All gameplay is meant for entertainment purposes, and no purchase is necessary to participate in sweepstakes promotions.

Gold Coins vs. Sweeps Coins — what you need to know

Gold Coins

• Issued for entertainment.
• Used to play slots, table games, and social features.
• Cannot be cashed out, transferred, or redeemed.
• Ideal for practicing games and enjoying casual play without redemption pressure.

Sweeps Coins

• Have a cash-equivalent value of $1 per Sweeps Coin.
• Can be won through gameplay, claimed from site promotions, or obtained via alternate methods of entry.
• Are playable like Gold Coins, but Sweeps Coins won from bonuses must meet playthrough requirements before redemption.
• Are subject to verification, minimum redemption, and daily payout caps.

Where your coins come from — free, buy, and mail-in options

You can get coins in three main ways:

• No-purchase registration bonus — new accounts receive 10,000 Gold Coins plus 1 Sweeps Coin automatically on signup.
• Coin packages — buy packages in the cashier to receive both Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins. First-purchase packages commonly include bonus Sweeps Coins, such as 20 SC for $9.99 offers, and larger bundles up to 60 SC for higher-priced packages.
• Alternate methods of entry — Scoop accepts mail-in requests as a free entry option; valid mail-in requests typically award 3 Sweeps Coins per request. No purchase is required to use this method.

All coin packages and promotions are detailed in the cashier and promotions pages. All promotions are subject to terms and conditions.

How gameplay works — same games, two-balance play

Games run on the same platform whether you use Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins. Play is straightforward:

• Select a game, choose an amount, and pick whether to bet with Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins when both balances are available.
• Wins paid in Gold Coins stay in the Gold balance and remain non-redeemable.
• Wins paid in Sweeps Coins count toward a redeemable balance once any applicable playthrough conditions are satisfied.

Game types include slots and table games commonly favored by players in the United States — slot titles, blackjack, roulette, video poker, and more. Providers include well-known studios to deliver a wide range of game mechanics and payout potential. Games are optimized for mobile and desktop, and most contribute toward Sweeps Coin playthrough, although contribution rates can vary by game.

Wagering, playthrough, and when Sweeps Coins become redeemable

Sweeps Coins awarded from promotions often carry playthrough requirements before redemption is allowed. Typical playthrough ranges from 1x to 30x the Sweeps Coins awarded, with some reviews noting higher effective requirements on specific offers. That means you must wager Sweeps Coins a set number of times in eligible games before those Sweeps Coins become available for cashout.

Specific contribution rates by game type are available in the full terms. Bonus Sweeps Coins may be locked until conditions are met, and Gold Coins never count as a redeemable balance.

Redeeming Sweeps Coins — minimums, caps, and timing

When your Sweeps Coins are eligible for redemption and your account passes verification, you can request cash or gift card payouts:

• Redemption value — 1 Sweeps Coin equals $1.
• Minimums — $100 for cash redemptions (100 SC), $20 for gift cards (20 SC).
• Daily caps — redemptions range from $100 to $10,000 per day; players in Florida have a $5,000-per-day cap.
• Processing — payouts are processed via bank transfer or gift cards, and processing times can take up to 30 days depending on verification and payment method.

Promotional Sweeps Coins, playthrough details, and minimum redemption requirements are always listed in the applicable promotion terms and conditions.

Registration and identity verification — quick and required for cashouts

Getting started is quick:

• Create an account using a valid email and basic personal information.
• The no-purchase registration bonus is credited automatically, so you can start playing right away with Gold Coins and an initial Sweeps Coin.
• To redeem Sweeps Coins, you must complete identity verification (KYC). Typical documentation includes a government-issued photo ID and proof of address.

Players must meet the minimum legal age to participate — 18 years or the higher minimum in your state. The site enforces a strict one-account-per-player policy; multiple accounts may be closed and balances forfeited.

Promotions, daily rewards, and loyalty perks

Scoop Casino runs a mix of recurring and special promotions designed to add value to both Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin balances:

• First-purchase packages — discounted bundles that increase the Sweeps Coin portion compared to standard packages; select these at first checkout to claim the bonus.
• Daily Wheel — spin once every 24 hours for a chance to win up to 40,000 Gold Coins and 10 Sweeps Coins per spin.
• Faucet — claim free Gold Coins and variable Sweeps Coins when balances are low.
• Daily Chest and Card bonuses — open treasure chests or play a card mini-game to earn additional coins; some features unlock after you reach certain account levels.
• Referral rewards and VIP tiers — earn ongoing rewards and rakeback as you progress through loyalty levels; top tiers may offer up to 20% rakeback and bonus Sweeps Coins.

All promotions require activation where noted, and Sweeps Coins won through promotions must meet the stated playthrough before they are redeemable. Check each offer’s terms and conditions for exact wagering rules and eligibility.

Alternate methods of entry — no purchase necessary

Scoop supports alternate methods of entry so you can receive Sweeps Coins without purchase:

• Mail-in requests — send a valid mail-in request as directed in the sweepstakes rules to receive a set number of Sweeps Coins per submission.
• Free registration bonuses and daily faucets — claim Sweeps Coins through on-site features without depositing funds.

These options are valuable for players who want a no-cost way to participate. Always follow the sweepstakes rules for a valid mail-in, and review any state-specific restrictions before participating.

Responsible play, account rules, and support

Scoop Casino provides responsible gaming options and enforces account rules to keep play fair and legal:

• Responsible gaming tools include cool-off periods, temporary self-exclusion, and permanent account closure options.
• One-account policy prevents multiple account creation.
• Age and residency restrictions apply; sweepstakes offers are intended for players in the United States and exclude certain states as noted in the sweepstakes rules.
• Identity verification is required prior to any Sweeps Coin redemption.

Support is available via a comprehensive FAQ, live chat, and email at support@scoopscasino.com for questions about coins, promotions, or withdrawals.

What to keep in mind before you play

• Gold Coins are for entertainment only and cannot be redeemed.
• Sweeps Coins can be redeemed for cash or gift cards after playthrough and verification.
• No purchase is necessary to participate; mail-in entry and registration bonuses provide free paths into sweepstakes eligibility.
• All promotions carry terms and conditions, including wagering requirements, minimum redemptions, and payout limits.

If you’re new to sweepstakes casinos, start with the free registration bonus, try games with Gold Coins to learn mechanics, and use daily faucets and the Wheel to build Sweeps Coins before considering purchases. This approach helps you get comfortable with the platform while keeping options open for redeeming Sweeps Coins later.
