# Redeeming Coins

> How to redeem the Sweeps Coins you've collected for real cash, gift cards, or crypto.

## Understanding Casino Currencies

Most sweepstakes casinos use a dual-currency system:

| Currency          | Purpose                             | Redeemable?                           |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Gold Coins (GC)   | Social play, no cash value          | No                                    |
| Sweeps Coins (SC) | Sweepstakes entries, prize-eligible | Yes — for cash, gift cards, or crypto |

Sweeps collects both types automatically, but only **Sweeps Coins** can be redeemed for real-world value.

## Redemption Process

Redemption is handled directly through each casino's website. Sweeps collects the bonuses; you redeem them at the casino when you're ready.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log into the casino site">
    Visit the casino website directly (use the **one-click login** feature in the Sweeps extension for quick access) and sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to the redemption section">
    Look for a "Redeem", "Cash Out", or "Prize Center" section. The exact name varies by casino.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select redemption method">
    Choose your preferred redemption method (bank transfer, gift card, crypto, etc.).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amount">
    Specify how many Sweeps Coins you want to redeem. Most casinos have a minimum redemption threshold.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete verification">
    First-time redemptions typically require identity verification (government-issued ID). Subsequent redemptions are usually faster.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Redemption Methods

Common redemption options across sweepstakes casinos include:

* **Gift cards** — Amazon, Visa, and other popular brands
* **Cryptocurrency** — Bitcoin and other supported coins
* **Bank transfer / ACH** — Direct deposit to your bank account
* **Online wallets** — PayPal, Skrill, or similar services

<Note>
  Available redemption methods vary by casino. Check each casino's terms for specific options and minimum amounts.
</Note>

## Minimum Redemption Thresholds

Each casino sets its own minimum redemption amount. Typical minimums range from:

* **$5–$10** minimum for gift cards and online wallets
* **$10–$25** minimum for cryptocurrency
* **$25–$50** minimum for bank transfers
