Sweepstakes poker explained
What is sweepstakes poker?
Sweepstakes poker lets US players enjoy online poker without depositing cash to play. It works with two virtual currencies, and no purchase is ever needed to take part.
- Gold Coins
- Play-for-fun coins with no cash value. Players get free Gold Coins and can buy more in packages from your coin store.
- Sweeps Coins
- Promotional coins given free, for example as a bonus with a Gold Coin package or through daily rewards. Sweeps Coins won at the tables can be redeemed for prizes.
- No purchase necessary
- Players can also get Sweeps Coins through a free alternative method of entry, such as a mail-in request, as your official rules set out.

The player journey
How does a sweepstakes poker site work?
From sign-up to prize redemption, every step runs on your branded apps and website.
A player’s path
- The player signs up, passes your location check and gets free Gold Coins.
- They play Gold Coin tables for fun, or buy a Gold Coin package that comes with free Sweeps Coins.
- They join Sweeps Coin cash tables, tournaments or freerolls.
- Once they pass identity checks, they redeem the Sweeps Coins they’ve won for prizes, under your official rules.
Players without a purchase can get Sweeps Coins through your free alternative method of entry, which you manage from the back office.

Questions
Sweepstakes poker FAQ
What is sweepstakes poker?
Sweepstakes poker is online poker played with two virtual currencies instead of cash deposits. Gold Coins are for fun and have no cash value. Sweeps Coins are given away free, for example as a bonus with a Gold Coin purchase, and players can redeem the Sweeps Coins they win for prizes. Because no purchase is needed to get Sweeps Coins, the model runs under US sweepstakes promotion rules rather than as real-money gambling.
Can Creatiosoft run sweepstakes poker for US operators?
Yes. Our poker platform runs the sweepstakes model: separate Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin balances, Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin tables and tournaments, a coin store and Sweeps Coin redemptions, on the same platform that has run real-money poker for operators since 2012.
How is sweepstakes poker different from real-money poker?
Players never deposit cash to play. They buy Gold Coin packages, which come with free Sweeps Coins, or get Sweeps Coins through a free alternative method of entry. Only Sweeps Coins won at the tables can be redeemed for prizes, after the player passes identity checks.
Is sweepstakes poker legal in every US state?
No. Sweepstakes rules are set state by state, and a growing number of states restrict or ban online sweepstakes gaming. Before launch, have US gaming counsel review your official rules, your free entry method and the list of states you accept. Our platform lets you block the states you exclude.
How do you keep players from excluded states out?
Players go through location checks with Radar, including VPN and proxy detection, so you can block the states you don’t serve. Identity checks (KYC) run through Sumsub or your own provider before a player can redeem Sweeps Coins.
Which games can players play?
Texas Hold’em, Omaha (PLO4, PLO5, PLO6), Big O and Mixed Games, as cash tables or Multi-Table Tournaments, Sit & Go and Freerolls, in Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins.
How much does sweepstakes poker software cost?
The platform has no setup fee: $1,000 a month plus 9% of rake and tournament fees, with the first three months paid in advance. Hosting, updates and support are included. Your payment gateway, KYC provider and legal review are paid separately, and any custom work is quoted after a call. No hidden terms 🙂
How long does it take to launch a sweepstakes poker site?
A standard setup on our platform can go live in as little as 2 weeks. Your official rules, legal review, payment gateway and app store approvals usually take longer, so we confirm the timeline after scoping.
