How It Works

Scarlet Sands Casino operates as a sweepstakes-style platform that separates play currency from redeemable value. That split keeps gameplay fun and social, while still giving eligible players a clear path to real-world prizes. This page explains the two currencies you’ll see—what they do, how to get them, and what you need to redeem Sweeps Coins for cash or gift cards.

Two currencies: Gold Coins vs Sweeps Coins — what’s the difference

Gold Coins

• Purely social currency for play and entertainment.
• Used to spin slots, try fishing games, and enjoy bonus features without cash redemption.
• Included in many promotions, and received with purchases of Gold Coins.
• No cashout options.

Sweeps Coins

• The sweepstakes currency that can be redeemed for prizes, subject to terms.
• Earned as bonus credits when you buy Gold Coins, through automatic no-purchase credits, and through select promotions.
• Sweeps Coins can be wagered in eligible games, and winnings from Sweeps Coins can be redeemed once account requirements are met.

Neither currency guarantees winnings. Gameplay is for entertainment, and prize outcomes depend on the game’s odds.

How you obtain Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins

Automatic no-purchase credits

• New accounts receive the Welcome No-Purchase Bonus: 350,000 Gold Coins plus 1 Sweeps Coin automatically upon registration, where allowed.

Purchases

• Buy Gold Coins using MasterCard or Visa in United States dollars. Purchases often include bonus Sweeps Coins, such as the First Purchase Boost: 900,000 Gold Coins plus 60 Sweeps Coins on a qualifying purchase of at least $29.99.

Ongoing promotions and rewards

• Daily Blaze Login Bonus: up to 100,000 Gold Coins plus 0.50 Sweeps Coins over seven consecutive days, with 10 bonus spins on day seven.
• Desert Dice Promotion: opt in every three hours for up to 500,000 Gold Coins plus 5 Sweeps Coins.
• Royal Wheel Spin Promotion: opt in every twelve hours for up to 250,000 Gold Coins plus 10 Sweeps Coins.
• Referral Bonus: refer a friend who makes a qualifying purchase of $19.99 United States dollars and receive 500,000 Gold Coins plus 20 Sweeps Coins.
• Some promotions cap promotional Sweeps Coins winnings at 25 Sweeps Coins; check each promotion’s terms.

Alternative entry methods

• No purchase is necessary to participate. The no-purchase welcome credit of Sweeps Coins is one guaranteed route.
• The platform may also offer no-purchase entry options listed in its official terms, such as mail-in or other free-entry methods. Review the terms and conditions for exact steps and eligibility.

Note on availability

• Certain offers are restricted in specific states. Promotions listed here are not available to residents of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
• Players must meet minimum age requirements—typically 18 years or older, with 21 years or older in some jurisdictions. Verify local rules before playing.

How gameplay works and where Sweeps Coins count

Eligible games

• Slots and fishing games contribute 100 percent to Sweeps Coins wagering requirements and are the primary ways to turn Sweeps Coins into redeemable winnings.
• Table games and live dealer content do not contribute to Sweeps Coins wagering requirements unless explicitly stated.

Wagering and contribution

• Wagering requirement for Sweeps Coins is 1x unless noted otherwise. That means you must wager your Sweeps Coins once on eligible games before requesting a redemption.
• Gold Coins are for play only and do not count toward cash redemption.

Practical example

• If you receive 10 Sweeps Coins and play eligible slots, you’ll need to wager those 10 Sweeps Coins one time across qualifying games to meet the 1x requirement before you request a payout of any Sweeps Coins-derived winnings.

Redeeming Sweeps Coins for prizes

Redemption thresholds

• Minimum redemption for cash prizes: 100 Sweeps Coins.
• Minimum redemption for gift cards: 25 Sweeps Coins.
• Maximum payout per redemption: $1,000 United States dollars.

Verification and purchase requirement

• To request a cashout, you must complete full identity verification as required by the platform, and at least one Gold Coins purchase is required before redemptions, per the site’s bonus policy.
• The platform enforces one account per person. Multiple accounts or suspected bonus abuse can lead to forfeiture of prizes.

How to request a payout

• Once you meet the wagering, verification, and minimum redemption requirements, submit your redemption through your account’s cashier/withdrawal area.
• If you need help, contact support via live chat, or email support@scarletsandscasino.com .

Registration, verification, and account setup

Quick sign-up steps

1. Create an account with your email and basic details. New accounts receive the no-purchase welcome credits where allowed.
2. Confirm your email address if prompted.
3. Verify your identity when attempting withdrawals—this may include photo ID, proof of address, and any other documents required by the platform’s verification process.
4. Add a payment method if you plan to purchase Gold Coins with MasterCard or Visa.

Account rules

• One account per person. Violations can result in disqualification and loss of prizes.
• Provide accurate information during registration to avoid delays with verification or redemptions.

Promotions, timing, and limits

Activation and contribution

• Most bonuses are credited automatically when you qualify—logins, purchases, and opt-in promotions apply as described in each offer.
• Wagers on slots and fishing games contribute toward Sweeps Coins requirements; other game types typically do not.

Timing and caps

• Some offers are time-based and repeat on fixed intervals, such as the Desert Dice promotion every three hours, and the Royal Wheel spin every twelve hours.
