Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC) are the two types of virtual currencies used in sweepstakes casinos. Gold Coins are used for entertainment purposes only, offering players a chance to enjoy casino-style games without risking any real money. Sweeps Coins, on the other hand, can be earned or awarded and hold actual value, as they can be redeemed for cash prizes. This two-currency system is what allows sweepstakes casinos to operate legally in many states. Players can typically earn SC through special promotions, mail-in requests, or by purchasing Gold Coin packages that often come bundled with SC.
