What Rainbow's End’s Rules Say
Rainbow's End is operated by Big Sky Gaming, LLC. Gold Coins are used for social play, while free Sweepstakes Coins can produce winnings eligible for prizes. The rules list daily rewards, an initial login offer, promotional draws and a handwritten postal request using a unique request code. Each compliant postal request credits 2 SC.
Participants must be at least 18, or older where applicable, and live outside the restricted states listed in the terms. The rules advertise up to 1 SC in the first five days with daily logins and verification. The public FAQ describes variable welcome packages without a fixed purchase price or coin bundle.
Rules sections 6.3 and 6.4 require 100 qualifying SC for cash and gift-card prizes, respectively, at US$1 per qualifying coin. A later account-closure clause still refers to 10 SC, so that cross-reference is not used as the minimum. Identity checks must be completed before redemption. Requests are processed no more than once every 48 hours, and the operator may impose a US$10,000 daily ceiling. Sweepstakes Coins expire after 180 days without Sweepstakes Coin gameplay.
