Welcome Offer

Up to 5,000 SC free, no purchase needed[3]

3,000,000 Coins with 17,500 free Sweeps Chips for $4.99

The homepage banner labels the $4.99 bundle as a new-player offer. Promo Rules section 3 separately confirms 5,000 Sweeps Chips at registration. Sweeps Chips use a 1,000-to-US$1 redemption ratio, so 5,000 chips is a US$5 equivalent before conditions; the coin amounts here are raw chips.

Offers can change and may depend on your state.

What Carnival Citi’s Rules Say

Carnival Citi separates entertainment Coins from promotional Sweeps Chips. Coins cannot be redeemed for prizes. Sweeps Chips can produce prize-eligible winnings after the published playthrough and skill-question conditions are met. The legal pages use the abbreviation CMT, but the full entity-name fields were blank in the rendered terms and privacy policy.

The June 2026 Promo Rules list 29 excluded US states and require participants to be at least 21 or the higher local minimum. Free chips come from registration, a limited run of daily logins, promotional activities and handwritten postal requests. Each compliant postal request receives 2,000 Sweeps Chips.

A cash request requires at least 100,000 eligible chips, worth US$100 at the published conversion. The general playthrough is 1x unless a promotion states otherwise, and a skills competition such as a trivia question is also required. Prize limits are US$10,000 per day and US$25,000 per week. Chips expire 60 days after the last login. The redemption amounts in this record are expressed in US dollars.
