SC/GC is common shorthand for the two currencies at every sweepstakes casino: Sweeps Coins (SC) and Gold Coins (GC). The pairing appears throughout coin store offers, bonus listings, and reviews.
GC is the free play currency with no cash value, while SC is the redeemable currency that can convert to prizes. Coin packages are usually advertised as a GC purchase that includes free bonus SC, which is the legal heart of the sweepstakes structure.
Example usage
- The store lists each pack as GC plus free SC.
- Bonus offers are often shown as SC/GC bundles.
