Crown Coins Casino Sweeps Coins: CC vs SC, Free Entry and Expiration
Crown Coins Casino uses two separate play balances. Crown Coins (CC) are virtual coins for social gameplay and eligible platform promotions and are not themselves redeemable for prizes. Sweeps Coins (SC) are free promotional tokens used to enter eligible sweepstakes games, where qualifying SC gameplay winnings may become redeemable under the applicable rules.
Players can select CC or SC mode with the toggle at the top of an eligible game screen. The balances remain separate: Crown Coins cannot be converted into Sweeps Coins, and Sweeps Coins cannot be converted into Crown Coins. Eligible players can receive SC through qualifying CC promotions, social offers and alternative free-entry methods, including mail-in entry under the applicable Sweeps Policy.
| Coin Balance | Main Use | Prize / Balance Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Crown Coins (CC) | Virtual social-game play and eligible platform promotions | Not a prize-redemption balance and cannot be converted into SC |
| Sweeps Coins (SC) | Promotional sweepstakes entries in eligible SC games | Qualifying gameplay winnings may become redeemable under the applicable rules; SC cannot be converted into CC |
Crown Coins vs. Sweeps Coins: How the Two Balances Work
Crown Coins are the social-play side of Crown Coins Casino. They can be used in eligible games and promotions that operate in CC mode, but the CC balance itself is not a prize-redemption balance.
Sweeps Coins serve a different function. They are promotional sweepstakes tokens used in eligible SC games. When gameplay produces qualifying SC winnings, those winnings may become redeemable once the separate account, jurisdiction, verification and redemption conditions are satisfied.
The game-mode selector lets eligible players choose which balance to use. Selecting CC mode draws on Crown Coins, while selecting SC mode uses Sweeps Coins under the applicable sweepstakes conditions.
The two balances do not exchange into each other. A large Crown Coins balance cannot be converted into Sweeps Coins, and SC cannot be converted back into CC. This separation also means that Crown Coins cannot be used to satisfy a Sweeps Coins prize-redemption threshold.
How to Get Sweeps Coins for Free
Sweeps Coins are distributed through promotional and alternative free-entry routes rather than through conversion from Crown Coins. Supported routes include:
- Qualifying Crown Coins promotions that include promotional Sweeps Coins.
- Eligible social offers that provide SC under their own conditions.
- Alternative free-entry methods, including mail-in entry under the applicable Sweeps Policy.
- An eligible new-account registration gift that includes 2 SC in supported SC mode.
The new-account example has its own conditions. Eligible new registration can include 2 SC, and no initial purchase is required for that qualifying registration gift. The SC component still depends on the account being eligible for Sweeps Coins mode.
Other promotional routes can use different account, event or offer conditions. Receiving SC through one route does not establish that every future promotion uses the same amount or qualification process.
When Sweeps Coins Expire or Are Forfeited
Sweeps Coins are subject to an inactivity rule tied to account login. If there is no account login for 60 days, the associated SC expire and can no longer be used or redeemed.
| Trigger | Consequence |
|---|---|
| No account login for 60 days | Sweeps Coins expire and can no longer be used or redeemed |
| Account closure | All associated Sweeps Coins are forfeited |
The 60-day period is an account-inactivity rule rather than an expiry date attached to one specific signup offer or promotion. For example, an account with no login activity for a full 60-day interval reaches the published SC inactivity condition.
Account closure is a separate event. Closing the account results in forfeiture of the associated SC rather than starting the 60-day inactivity timer.
Sweeps Coins Availability in Social Mode Only States
Sweeps Coins availability is state-dependent. As of October 14, 2026, New Jersey, Connecticut, Tennessee and Maine have completed transitions to Social Mode Only.
In these states, Crown Coins social gameplay remains available, while SC gameplay and promotional Sweeps Coins are no longer available under the completed transitions. The distinction affects both access to SC-mode games and promotions that would otherwise provide SC.
The four named states describe the completed Social Mode Only transitions covered by the current rules. They do not form a complete positive eligibility list for every other US jurisdiction.
When Sweeps Coins Can Be Redeemed for Prizes
Sweeps Coins used for promotional gameplay are not automatically the same as redeemable prize winnings. On the ordinary redemption path, an eligible account must have at least 50 redeemable SC, be in an eligible jurisdiction and complete the required identity verification.
A purchase is not required when eligible sweepstakes participation produces sufficient redeemable SC and the other applicable redemption conditions are satisfied. The important distinction is between receiving or using promotional SC and later holding qualifying redeemable winnings.
For example, Crown Coins cannot be converted to fill a shortfall in the 50 redeemable SC requirement. The CC balance remains separate, regardless of how many Crown Coins the player holds.
The detailed process for redeeming Sweeps Coins covers the separate request, method, timing and status rules once the player has eligible redeemable SC.
Buying Crown Coins vs. Getting Sweeps Coins
Crown Coins purchases are an optional paid action for players who want additional CC. After signing in, players can use Buy from the menu or the account balance area to select an eligible Crown Coins package and payment method.
Buying a Crown Coins package adds CC rather than converting money directly into a redeemable SC balance. The purchased coins remain Crown Coins and follow the social-play function of that balance.
This keeps the two actions distinct: buying CC is an optional social-play purchase, while obtaining SC involves eligible promotional or alternative free-entry routes. Crown Coins cannot be converted into Sweeps Coins after the purchase.
