What Gold Machine’s Rules Say
Gold Machine is operated by Gold Machine LLC. Players use Gold Coins for social games and Sweep Coins for promotional games with redeemable prizes. The rules state that each eligible SC won in play can be redeemed for a prize worth US$1.
The sweepstakes is open to eligible US residents aged at least 21, outside the states listed in the rules. Free SC can come from daily rewards, no-cost giveaways and a handwritten postal entry generated through the site's AMOE process. Each accepted postal submission credits 1 SC.
Redemption starts at 100 eligible SC. The normal playthrough is 1x, with discretion to require up to 3x. Verification checks must be completed before a pending redemption can proceed. The rules allow a daily cap of US$5,000 depending on VIP tier and a US$20,000 monthly cap, with larger wins potentially split across payment periods. SC expire 60 days after the last login.
