# How It Works

> Understand how Sweeps automates daily bonus collection across sweepstakes casinos.

## Overview

Sweeps is a Chrome extension that runs in the background and automatically collects daily bonuses from your connected sweepstakes casino accounts. It turns 2+ hours of daily manual work into a one-time 5-minute setup.

## The Collection Cycle

<Steps>
  <Step title="Scheduled check">
    Sweeps monitors each connected casino's bonus reset schedule and determines the optimal time to collect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automated login">
    When a bonus is available, Sweeps securely logs into the casino site using your locally stored credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Bonus claim">
    Sweeps navigates to the bonus claim area and collects the daily free bonus on your behalf.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Status update">
    The extension logs the result and updates your balance tracking dashboard with the collected amount.
  </Step>

## Running 24/7

For Sweeps to collect bonuses around the clock:

* **Chrome must be running** — The extension operates within the browser, so Chrome needs to be open (it can be minimized).
* **Computer must be awake** — Your computer's sleep settings should be configured to keep it active, or you can use a dedicated machine.
* **Internet connection required** — A stable internet connection is needed for Sweeps to access casino sites.

<Tip>
  Many users run Sweeps on a dedicated laptop or desktop that stays on 24/7 for uninterrupted collection.
</Tip>

## What Bonuses Does Sweeps Collect?

Sweeps collects **free daily bonuses** offered by sweepstakes casinos. These typically include:

* **Daily login bonuses** — Free coins awarded just for signing in each day
* **Timed bonuses** — Bonuses that reset every few hours
* **Promotional offers** — Free bonus claims from ongoing promotions

The bonuses award Sweeps Coins (SC) that can be redeemed for real cash, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.

<Note>
  Sweeps does not interact with paid features, VIP programs, or any mechanic that requires spending real money. Only free bonuses are collected.
