How It Works

Sweepstakes casinos run two parallel currencies so players can choose how they want to play. One currency is for social, non-cash play; the other is a sweepstakes currency that can be redeemed for prizes when you meet verification and eligibility requirements. The model separates entertainment play from prizeable play, while keeping gameplay familiar — slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker, craps, and live dealer games all work the same way as at online casinos you already know.

Gold Coins vs Sweeps Coins — what’s the difference

Gold Coins

• Used for social gameplay and in-game purchases.
• Often bought directly or received with deposit packages.
• Not redeemable for cash; intended for entertainment and playing for fun.

Sweeps Coins

• The sweepstakes currency that can be redeemed for prizes, subject to verification and applicable laws.
• Earned through promotions, special credits, and sometimes included free with certain purchases.
• Winnings converted from Sweeps Coins are redeemable once your account is verified and you meet the platform’s terms.

Always check each promotion’s terms to see whether it awards Gold Coins, Sweeps Coins, or free spins. OnPoint Casino runs a mix of no-deposit gifts, deposit match bonuses, and sweepstakes credits — see the promotions page for details.

How you obtain each currency

• Buy Gold Coins through the cashier using ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, MasterCard, or Visa for immediate play.
• Receive Sweeps Coins through qualifying promotions, bonus credits, and select deposit packages. Some promotions credit Sweeps Coins directly, while others offer Gold Coins or free spins.
• No purchase necessary options are available. The sweepstakes model includes alternative methods of entry, and OnPoint runs no-deposit rewards like registration free chips and sign-up spins that may be credited as promotional currency — check the offer terms.
• Keep an eye on codes and welcome offers (for example, ONPOINT25, POINTSPIN30, and BULLSEYE100) and on recurring promotions like reload bonuses, cashback, and VIP rewards.

Playing games — how gameplay and bonuses interact

Gameplay uses the same mechanics you expect from slots, table games, and live dealer titles. Here’s what changes with the sweepstakes model:

• Gold Coins are for social play only.
• Sweeps Coins are wagered in sweepstakes-mode games to earn redeemable winnings.
• Bonus rules apply: only one active bonus at a time, maximum bet limits while a bonus is active, and contribution rates vary by game. For example, slots typically contribute 100% to wagering requirements, while blackjack and roulette contribute less.
• Wagering and max cashout rules apply to no-deposit credits and free chips. OnPoint lists wagering requirements and max cashout limits per offer, so read the terms before you play.

Remember, the casino’s game math still governs outcomes — there are no guaranteed results, and gameplay is intended for entertainment.

How to redeem Sweeps Coins for prizes

If your Sweeps Coins produce redeemable winnings, here’s the typical flow:

1. Meet any promo-specific conditions and wagering requirements.
2. Complete account verification (photo ID, proof of address, and any other KYC checks required for your jurisdiction).
3. Request a withdrawal through the cashier. Supported deposit methods include ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, MasterCard, and Visa; withdrawal options may vary and are listed in your account.
4. Your withdrawal will be processed according to the platform’s payout policy and any applicable legal rules in your state.

Eligibility to redeem can depend on your location and legal age. You must be of legal age to participate where you are physically located. All redemptions are subject to terms and verification.

Registration and account verification — step by step

• Sign up with a valid email, full name, and contact details.
• Confirm your email and log in.
• Verify your identity when prompted — this usually means uploading a government ID and utility bill or bank statement that matches your account details.
• Complete any age and location checks via geolocation tools.
• Once verified, you’ll be able to claim prize-eligible promotions and request withdrawals.

OnPoint Casino supports live chat for fast help if you get stuck during verification or cashier steps.

Promotions, daily rewards, and VIP perks

OnPoint runs a variety of offers to keep play rewarding:

• No-deposit welcome gifts, sign-up free spins, and no-deposit free chips for new and returning players.
• Deposit match welcome bonuses, reload bonuses, and scheduled offers like Midweek Recharge and Weekend Precision.
• Cashback programs and a tiered OnPoint Elite Club loyalty program with escalating benefits, faster withdrawal processing, and monthly free chips depending on tier.
• Limited-time themed events that credit bonus funds or entry to paid events.

Each promotion carries its own code, wagering rules, validity period, and max cashout. Read the offer terms and the general bonus policy — for example, bonus contribution rates and bet limits apply while bonuses are active.

Alternative methods of entry — no purchase necessary

Sweepstakes rules require a no-purchase route to enter promotions. Typical alternatives include:

• Claiming no-deposit bonuses or codes that credit Sweeps Coins or free chips.
• Using a designated free claim link or form on the promotions page.
• Contacting customer support chat for guidance on no-purchase entry options.

Exact AMOE (alternative method of entry) procedures vary by promotion. If a mail-in or online claim option exists for a particular sweepstakes, the instructions and deadlines will appear in the offer’s terms.

Responsible play, legality, and terms you should read

• Gameplay is intended for entertainment, and outcomes are not guaranteed.
• You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction and located in an area where sweepstakes gaming is permitted.
• All promotional offers are subject to terms and conditions, including wagering requirements, max cashout limits, and one-bonus-at-a-time rules.
• OnPoint provides chat support if you need help with eligibility, verification, or promo rules.

Final notes on getting started

Start by registering, claiming any no-deposit welcome credits, and verifying your account. Use Gold Coins to practice and enjoy social play, and save Sweeps Coins for prize-eligible play once you meet verification requirements. Keep bonuses and wagering rules in mind, and play within your limits — sweepstakes play is a way to enjoy casino games with added chances at redeemable prizes, without making a purchase necessary to participate.
