Every lobby runs on a pair. Gold Coins, sometimes called Coins or Credits, are play currency. They buy spins and they never convert into anything you can withdraw. The second currency carries different names from site to site, including Sweeps Coins, Gems and Entries, and it is the only one the cashier recognises.

When you read a welcome package, find the second number. A package advertising six hundred thousand coins may hand you thirty redeemable ones. A package advertising eleven thousand may hand you two. The size of the first number tells you nothing about the value of the second.

Because these are sweepstakes promotions rather than wagering, a free route into the redeemable currency has to exist. Operators satisfy that through daily login bonuses, timed drops, social media giveaways and postal mail-in requests. We used those routes exclusively across all eighteen accounts and never bought a coin package.

That is why our clearance figures are measured in days rather than dollars. It is the honest cost of reaching a payout without spending.

The cashier will not process a withdrawal until your redeemable balance passes a minimum. On the casinos we tested that minimum runs from fifty coins to one hundred. The distance between your free starting balance and that floor is the part nobody advertises, and it decides whether a welcome offer is genuinely generous.

Once you are above the floor you file a withdrawal and wait. Identity verification usually happens first, which is why we clear it before playing rather than at the moment we want the money. Settlement across our filings ran from twenty-two hours to seventy, with a median of forty-two.
