How to redeem Sweeps Coins for cash

Last reviewed September 2026 · researched from primary sources. Not legal or tax advice — see our Disclaimer.

Redeeming is a five-step process, and it is normal for a first payout to take longer than you expect because of identity checks.

Step by step

1. Clear the playthrough. Sweeps Coins usually must be played through at least once before they can be redeemed. Coins won from a purchase bonus almost always carry this; check your account’s “redeemable” balance, not the total.
2. Reach the minimum. Most operators set a floor around 50–100 SC per redemption request.
3. Verify your identity (KYC). Before a first payout you will upload a government photo ID, and often a proof of address and a selfie. Use your real, matching details from signup.
4. Request the redemption. In the cashier, choose “redeem,” enter the amount, and pick a method.
5. Wait for processing. Anywhere from about a day to two weeks, depending on the method and whether verification is complete.

Payout methods

• Bank transfer / ACH — most common; a few business days.
• Skrill — faster, where offered.
• Gift cards — sometimes offered at a lower minimum.
• PayPal — a growing option, operator-dependent.

Why a request gets rejected or held

• Playthrough not met, or you are trying to redeem a purchase bonus that has not been played.
• Identity documents unclear, or a name or address that does not match the account.
• You are in a state the operator does not pay.
• A large first redemption — some operators cap the first payout or split it.
• Suspected use of a VPN, which can void the balance.

Tax reminder

Redemptions are taxable income. Expect a 1099-MISC once your yearly total with an operator crosses the reporting threshold — see how redemptions are taxed.
