Sweeps Coins, often shortened to SC, are the redeemable currency used at sweepstakes casinos. Players receive them free through purchases of Gold Coins, daily bonuses, or mail-in entry, and never buy SC directly.
SC won in games can be redeemed for real prizes once a player meets the minimum playthrough and passes identity verification. Most sites use a fixed exchange rate, commonly one SC equal to one U.S. dollar at redemption, subject to minimum thresholds.
Example usage
- You earn SC as a free bonus when you buy a Gold Coin package.
- A minimum of 50 SC is often required before redemption.
