Cap on Free-Play Winnings
Up to 25 SC from free play[1]Winnings from Sweeps Coins obtained through the free no-cost methods (social-media giveaways, daily login, sign-up bonus, daily wheel spins, daily missions) are capped at an aggregate US$25 per account; Sweeps Coins obtained through the referral program are capped at US$50 instead. The rules refer to Section 6 methods (b)–(f) and (g), which the page lists without visible letters; by list order, mail-in coins fall outside both groups. Section 9 equates the US$25 minimum prize with 25 Sweeps Coins, so 1 Sweeps Coin = US$1.

What SweepShark’s Rules Say

SweepShark uses Gold Coins for entertainment play and free Sweeps Coins for promotional games with cash and prize redemptions. UTech Solutions LLC is the legal entity in its terms. The Play Through Policy contains the sweepstakes rules, including a 1 SC registration award and a 1 SC handwritten mail-in route.

Participants must be US residents aged at least 21. The terms exclude fourteen states from access and allow only Gold Coin mode in California, Indiana and Maine, making seventeen states unavailable for SC play. Daily-login rewards, wheel spins and other free promotions are also described.

The general playthrough is 1x, with higher requirements possible for particular games. Redemption starts at 25 SC and requires winner verification. One request is processed per five days, and the general daily cap is US$100 unless the sponsor determines otherwise. Winnings from certain free SC sources have separate US$25 or US$50 aggregate caps. The reviewed documents do not name payment methods, and their 60-day account-closure provision differs from the twelve-month virtual-coin dormancy definition.

Strengths and Gaps

Clearly Published

  • Publishes a 1 SC sign-up award and a 1 SC postal entry route
  • Rules state both a redemption minimum and a general daily cap
  • Terms separately identify states restricted to Gold Coin mode

Gaps and Limits

  • Only one redemption request is processed per five days
  • Certain free promotional winnings have US$25 or US$50 aggregate redemption caps
  • The operator may require playthrough above the default 1x
  • Purchase and redemption payment methods were not named in the reviewed documents
  • The terms define virtual-coin dormancy in months and separately permit account closure after 60 days, so no single inactivity expiry in days is recorded

Where SweepShark Is Available

SweepShark lists 17 excluded states for Sweeps Coins play (Fourteen restricted states plus CA, IN and ME, where only Gold Coin mode is permitted. The rules name CA but do not repeat IN or ME.).
