Sweepstakes Rules

Sweepstakes casinos don’t work the same way as regulated real-money online casinos. At Scarlet Sands Casino, gameplay uses two virtual currencies - Gold Coins for social-style play and Sweeps Coins for sweepstakes-style play where eligible players may request prize redemptions after meeting the requirements below.

This page summarizes the practical sweepstakes rules that matter most: who can play, how entries work, how to get Sweeps Coins (including free methods), what you need to redeem prizes, and which behaviors can lead to disqualification.

Who Can Play: Eligibility, Age, and Location Limits

Participation is limited to players who meet all eligibility requirements at the time of registration and during ongoing use of the site.

Age requirements:

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and participate.
• Some regions may require you to be 21 years old. If your location requires 21+, you’ll need to meet that higher age threshold.

Geographic limitations:

• Participation is prohibited in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Location is typically evaluated using account details and verification checks. If your eligibility changes (for example, you move or travel to a prohibited state), continued participation and redemptions can be restricted.

The Two-Currency System: Gold Coins vs Sweeps Coins

Scarlet Sands Casino uses separate currencies with different purposes.

Gold Coins:

• Used for entertainment gameplay.
• Often included with promotions and with Gold Coin packages.

Sweeps Coins:

• Used for sweepstakes-style gameplay.
• Can be earned through promotions and other no-purchase methods described below.
• Are subject to playthrough requirements before redemption requests.

Keeping the two currencies separate is important because prize redemption rules apply to Sweeps Coins, not Gold Coins.

Registration Rules That Actually Matter

Account creation is tied to personal eligibility and identity. A few rules tend to cause the most confusion, so they’re stated plainly here:

• One account per person. Creating or using multiple accounts can lead to disqualification and prize forfeiture.
• Provide accurate information. Name, date of birth, address, and other details should match your real identity.
• Keep control of your account. Sharing accounts or allowing someone else to play on your profile can trigger restrictions during verification.

How Sweepstakes Participation Works (In Plain English)

Sweeps Coins are the sweepstakes promotional currency. When you play eligible games using Sweeps Coins, the outcomes may increase or decrease your Sweeps Coin balance. If you meet redemption thresholds and complete verification, you can submit a prize redemption request.

A key point: no purchase is necessary to enter or participate. Purchases (when available) are for Gold Coins and can come with promotional Sweeps Coins, but free participation options also exist.

Ways to Get Sweeps Coins (Including Free Methods)

Sweeps Coins can be obtained in multiple ways, and several of them do not require a purchase. Availability and amounts can change, but these are the published options and related conditions.

Welcome no-purchase bonus (new accounts):

• 350,000 Gold Coins + 1 Sweeps Coin
• No code required, activates automatically on registration
• 1x playthrough on Sweeps Coins
• Eligible games: slots and fishing games

Daily Blaze login bonus:

• Automatic upon login, resets after seven days

• First Purchase Boost Bonus: 900,000 Gold Coins + 60 Sweeps Coins on a first qualifying purchase of at least $29.99
• 1x playthrough on Sweeps Coins
• Not available where prohibited by location rules

Because some Sweeps Coins are promotional, pay attention to any caps or playthrough conditions attached to the specific offer you’re using.

Bonus Playthrough and Eligible Games: What Counts and What Doesn’t

Scarlet Sands Casino applies a 1x playthrough requirement on Sweeps Coins tied to promotions. In practice, that means you generally need to wager the Sweeps Coins once on eligible games before those Sweeps Coins (and related winnings, where applicable) can be considered for redemption.

Game contribution rules:

• Slots and fishing games contribute 100 percent.
• Table games and live casino do not contribute.

So, if you’re trying to clear playthrough efficiently, slots and fishing games are the categories that matter for meeting the requirement.

Redemption Rules: Minimums, Limits, and Key Requirements

Redemptions are tied to Sweeps Coins and are only available to eligible players who meet the thresholds and verification standards.

Minimum redemption amounts:

• Cash prizes: 100 Sweeps Coins minimum.
• Gift cards: 25 Sweeps Coins minimum.

Per-redemption limit:

• Maximum of $1,000 per redemption request.

Important redemption condition:

• Identity verification is required.
• At least one Gold Coin purchase is required before redemptions.

That last point often surprises players, so it’s worth repeating clearly: even though no purchase is necessary to enter or participate, the redemption system requires at least one Gold Coin purchase before you can redeem prizes.

Verification and Fraud Checks: Why Your Info Must Match

To help prevent fraud, the site may require verification before approving redemption requests. Verification typically involves confirming your identity and eligibility details.

Common reasons verification can fail or be delayed include:

• Mismatched personal information (for example, a nickname instead of a legal name).
• Multiple accounts tied to the same person or household.
• Location conflicts with prohibited states.
• Attempts to bypass checks using tools that obscure location or identity.

If something changes (new address, legal name change, or travel), updating your account details before submitting a redemption request can prevent avoidable issues.

Payments and Purchases: What’s Supported

When Gold Coin packages are available for purchase, supported card options include Visa and MasterCard. Purchases are not deposits into a real-money gambling balance. They’re transactions for virtual currency packages, which may include promotional Sweeps Coins depending on the offer.

Prohibited Activities That Can Get You Disqualified

Sweepstakes platforms are strict about abuse patterns because promotions involve sweepstakes-style prize systems. Activities that may result in account suspension, disqualification, or forfeiture of bonuses and winnings include:

• Creating more than one account per person.
• Bonus abuse, including attempts to exploit promotions in a way the operator considers unfair or manipulative.
• Providing false information during registration or verification.
• Using automated tools, scripts, or any method that interferes with normal play.
• Collusion or coordinated play intended to gain an advantage through promotions.
• Any attempt to evade eligibility checks, including location restrictions.

Because the rules allow forfeiture for multiple accounts and bonus abuse, it’s safer to keep a single profile, avoid workarounds, and only claim promotions in the way they’re presented.

When Accounts Can Be Suspended (And What Happens to Balances)

An account may be restricted while the operator reviews eligibility, investigates suspicious activity, or completes verification. Depending on the issue, outcomes may include:

• Temporary suspension pending documentation.
• Loss of promotional credits.
• Disqualification from promotions.
• Forfeiture of prizes or winnings tied to rule violations.

If you’re unsure why a restriction happened, contact support at support@scarletsandscasino.com with the email associated with your account and a description of the issue.

Responsible Play Reminder

Even in a sweepstakes format, gameplay can feel like real-money gambling. Set limits that fit your budget and time, take breaks when you need them, and don’t treat prize redemptions as guaranteed or predictable outcomes.

These sweepstakes rules are meant to keep participation clear and consistent. If anything here conflicts with the official promotion terms presented inside the site at the time you participate, the specific promotion terms control, especially for eligibility, playthrough, caps, and redemption limits.
