What Golden Hearts Games’s Rules Say

Golden Hearts Games Inc. operates a US social casino with Gold Coins for recreational play and free Sweeps Coins for promotional games. Only Sweeps Coins won in those games become redeemable. An operator press release dates the platform's launch to August 2020.

The sweepstakes rules require players to be at least 18, with higher ages in Alabama, Nebraska, Mississippi and Puerto Rico. Fourteen states are excluded from sweepstakes participation; Michigan and Washington also prohibit account creation. Free entry includes postal requests using account-generated codes, limited to five codes per calendar month.

Identity verification is required before submitting a redemption. The rules set a 100 Redeemable SC minimum for ACH bank payments and 50 for Prizeout gift cards, with each Redeemable SC valued at US$1. Florida has a US$5,000 aggregate redemption limit per monthly sweepstakes period, which is not a general daily cap.

Unplayed Sweeps Coins expire within 14 days of award, or sooner if the offer says so. After 60 days without signing in, the terms cancel Gold Coins and unplayed SC and apply a monthly fee of 10 Redeemable SC to the remaining redeemable balance until it is exhausted.
