Quick start guide

New to sweeps churning? Here's the basic loop: sign up, claim your free daily coins, play them through, and redeem once you hit the site's minimum. We use Zula Casino as the example below, but most sweepstakes casinos work the same way.

1. Sign up through our list#

Pick a site from our sweepstakes casinos list, open its page, and hit the SIGN UP button.

2. Create your account#

Sign up with Google, Facebook, or your email. Use your real name and details: you'll need to verify your identity before your first redemption. You must be 18 or older (some sites require 21) and live in a state where the site is available.

3. Claim your daily bonus#

Most sites give you free coins every day you log in. On Zula, the daily bonus lives in the store: open the Store, scroll to Free Rewards, and hit Collect on the Daily Bonus.

The claim button isn't always in the store. Every site puts it somewhere different: a popup when you log in, a rewards or bonus menu, or a button in the top bar. If you can't find it, ask in our Discord.

4. Check your Sweeps Coins balance#

Click your coin balance to see your Sweeps Coins (SC). Redeemable SC has been played through and can be redeemed. Unplayed SC still needs to be played through first.

5. Play through and redeem#

Once your redeemable SC reaches the site's minimum redemption (we list it for every site), you can redeem it for cash, gift cards, crypto, and more, depending on the site.

Most free SC comes with a playthrough requirement: you have to wager it 1x (sometimes more) before it becomes redeemable. We usually play games with a high RTP (return to player) percentage and a low minimum bet, so the balance lasts as many spins as possible.

For example, Epic Joker allows $0.05 to $0.10 spins. If we have 50 SC to play through, we play $0.05 spins: 50 / 0.05 = 1,000 spins to clear the playthrough.

This isn't a guarantee. Your balance can go up or down while you play through, and you may drop below the minimum. Often you'll need to claim a few more daily bonuses and play through again before you can redeem.

6. Repeat across sites#

That's the whole loop. Claim your dailies every day, play through, and redeem when you can. The more sites you're signed up to, the faster your free coins add up. Our list shows which sites have the best daily bonuses and the lowest minimum redemptions.

These are the three sites we'd sign up for first. Each one is a best pick on our list, rated for its daily free coins and promo value.
