Prize Coins In Plain Terms
Two currencies sit in every account. Only one of them ever becomes money.
The Two Currencies
Gold Coins are for play. You can hold millions, spin every game on the site and still have nothing to withdraw, because a Gold Coin has no redemption value at any balance.
Sweeps Coins are the prize. They arrive free with a package, attach to a purchase as a bonus, or drop in through daily collections. Stake one and it becomes redeemable, which is when a gift card or bank transfer can be requested.
Why Headline Figures Mislead
Promotions lead with the Gold Coin number because it is larger. The record prints 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 Floors
Two conditions stand between a 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 between fifty and a hundred coins.
- A large prize with a low floor is the best combination on record
- A small prize with a high floor is a long collection routine
- A quick payout on top of either is what lifts an entry
No purchase required
Every site on the record has a free route in, written into the rules as a daily collection, a social giveaway or a postal request. Purchases only unlock larger opening packages.
What being paid 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 recorded, and first payouts are always slowest.
