How A Sweeps Win Works
Two currencies sit in every account. Only one of them can ever leave as money. Everything else about this market follows from that.
Gold Coins Versus Sweeps Coins
Gold Coins are the play currency. You can hold a million of them, spin every game in the lobby and walk away with nothing to withdraw, because a Gold Coin has no redemption value at any balance on any site.
Sweeps Coins are the win currency. They arrive free with a package, attach as a bonus to a purchase, or drop in through daily collections and giveaways. Stake a Sweeps Coin once and it becomes redeemable, which means it can be exchanged for a gift card or sent to a bank account.
Why The Big Number Is The Wrong Number
Promotions advertise the Gold Coin total because it is larger and reads better. On this site both figures sit side by side on every badge, because 500,000 Gold Coins with two Sweeps Coins is a much smaller win than 130,000 Gold Coins with sixty-five.
Playthrough And Floors
Two conditions stand between a Sweeps Coin balance and money. The first is playthrough: most sites want the coins staked once. The second is the withdrawal floor: the minimum redeemable balance the site will process, usually between fifty and 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 the top of our board from the middle
Nothing has to be bought
All eighteen sites give a free way in. Daily collections, social giveaways and postal requests are written into the rules. Purchases exist to unlock bigger opening packages, and we always publish the free figure as well as the paid one.
What a payout actually looks like
You file a request, the site checks your identity once, and the money returns either as a gift card code or as a bank transfer. Gift cards were faster on every site we tested. First payouts are the slowest, because verification only happens once.
