    Covers Expert Analysis
    "Sweepstakes and social casinos are always free to play. You'll get a lump sum of free coins to use when you sign-up and get new free coins every day you log in. If you want to up your free coin levels, you can purchase coin bundles starting at $0.99. Coin bundles always come with free Sweeps Coins, which you can use to play SC games and redeem for cash prizes."

    Ben Pringle, Casino Content Manager

    Sweepstakes coin bundles for $1

    Sweepstakes casinos are always free to play. You'll get a lump sum of free coins (usually called Gold Coins) when you sign up.

    You use these coins to play free casino games. You'll also get daily free coin bonuses when you log in.

    If you want to boost your Gold Coin balance, you can either win them in games or buy "bundles" of coins. These typically range from $0.99 and up. Along with your free coins you'll get what are called Sweepstakes Coins (SC). These can be used for a different set of games.

    Winnings from SC games can ultimately be redeemed for gift cards and cash prizes. Note: Sweepstakes Coins can never be purchased—they are only allocated as a bonus when you buy a coin bundle or as a free promotion.

    See our list of sweeps casinos with $3 or less coin bundles below:

    Fortune Coins is a popular sweepstakes casino with over 400 slots, including tumbles and jackpots. New players can get started with a bang thanks to a welcome bonus of 330,000 Gold Coins and 990 free Fortune Coins.

    Browse and play

    Once you've claimed your bonus, you can browse the casino game library and play any of the games available to you. Remember to read all the terms and conditions before playing, as some online casinos outline select titles your bonus funds can be used on.

    Redeem your winnings

    Once you've met anye wagering requirements, you can cash out (real money casinos) or redeem your winnings earned from the bonus (sweepstakes casinos). Just visit the 'cashier' again, choose from the available withdrawal options, and input the amount you wish to take out of your account. Remember, social casinos don't operate using real money, so you cannot request a withdrawal. But you can claim gift cards and cash prizes once you've passed a certain threshold of Sweepstakes Coins.

    Common casino bonus mistakes

    Though only a minimal initial investment is required to claim some bonuses, you still want to check all the boxes to make sure your $1 deposit makes you eligible for any online casino bonuses.

    The most common mistakes when claiming any amount of casino bonus include: 

    timer icon Failing to meet the wagering requirements

    Most online casino bonuses have specific wagering requirements attached, ranging from 1x to 100x, which outline how much of your actual money you'll need to spend in order to redeem the bonus from your account. You must satisfy the wagering requirements within a certain timeframe, or you'll forfeit the bonus. 

    timer icon Playing the wrong games

    The top casino bonuses can often only be used on specific online casino game types or titles. Carefully read every promo's terms and conditions before claiming to learn where you can use your bonus funds. 

    timer icon Not reading the terms and conditions

    Review the details of every U.S. online casino offer. The operator uses the T&Cs to outline how to claim the promotion, the financial strings attached, how you can withdraw the bonus from your account, when the offer expires, and many other critical aspects of the offer. 

    timer icon Using an ineligible payment method

    Circling back to the point above, reading the offer's details is of the utmost importance because it explains which payment methods are acceptable to use. You'll want to make sure your selected vendor allows you to earn the bonus initially and then permits you to withdraw the funds from your account. 

    Are there any wagering requirements?

    Gold Coin bundles at sweepstakes casinos do not typically have wagering requirements.  

    In contrast, US online casinos will have wagering requirements attached to their bonuses. These must be complete before any bonus funds can be withdrawn. You must also satisfy the wagering requirements within a specific timeframe, which is outlined in the offer's terms and conditions.

    See here for US online casinos with free spins or US online casino no-deposit bonuses.

    How we rate and review casinos

    Our rating system takes many factors into consideration for our online casino reviews. Here are some of the key considerations when looking for the best online casino bonuses:

    Dollar odds icon Scope of bonus

    While many offers require a small investment, online casino bonuses vary based on your actions. For instance, with a "100% match up to $1,000" welcome promotion, you can receive a bonus equal to the minimum deposit required.

    Wagering requirements icon Wagering requirements

    The wagering requirements a bonus carries is one of the first things we look at when assessing an operator's offer, as it shows you how much you'll have to spend to redeem the bonus. Look for online casino bonuses that carry 35x wagering requirements or lower. Remember, most sweepstakes casino do not attach wagering requirements to their GC purchase packages. 

    timer icon Wagering periods

    How long are the bonus funds good for? How much time do I have to meet the wagering requirements? It's critical to know the answers to both of these questions before claiming any online casino offer to avoid the bonus doesn't expire on you. 

    Banking icon Banking restrictions

    Playing at online casinos that offer several secure payment method makes for a much more enjoyable gaming experience, as you don't have to wait around for funds to hit your account or for weeks to get your winnings. Brush up on an operator's available deposit and withdrawal options, limits, and payout speeds before creating an account. 

    Users icon Forums and discussion platforms

    Who knows an online casino better than its own players? We frequently read user reviews on social media, app stores, and on-site discussion forums to truly understand an operator's strengths and weaknesses. We also monitor the timeliness and manner in which the betting site responds to these posts.

The offer's terms and conditions outline the wagering requirements and how long you have to satisfy them. It's worth noting that most sweepstakes casinos do not attach wagering requirements to its GC purchase packages.

    The common payment methods you can use to claim a $1 minimum deposit bonus include Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, American Express, Apply Pay, and various cryptocurrencies.
