What Coin Wizard Games’s Rules Say
Golden Hearts Games Inc. operates Coin Wizard Games as a separate branded site. Gold Coins provide recreational play, while free Sweeps Coins enter promotional games. Only Sweeps Coins won in those games become redeemable, at US$1 per Redeemable Sweeps Coin.
The rules generally require age 18, with higher minimums in Alabama, Nebraska, Mississippi and Puerto Rico. Fourteen states are excluded from sweepstakes play. Postal entry uses account-generated codes, limited to one code per day and five per calendar month.
Players must complete identity verification before requesting a prize. The published minimums are 100 Redeemable SC for ACH bank payments and 50 for Prizeout gift cards. Unplayed SC expire within 14 days of award, possibly sooner under a promotion. After 60 days without signing in, the terms cancel unplayed coins and charge a monthly fee of 10 Redeemable SC against any remaining redeemable balance.
