Sweepstakes Casino Software: Launch a Sweeps Coins Casino for the US Market
Updated 21 October 2026. Author: Alexander, Founder, Gambling Soft.
Short answer: sweepstakes casino software from Gambling Soft lets you run a casino for the US market on the sweepstakes model: players buy Gold Coins to play and receive Sweeps Coins free of charge, which can be redeemed for prizes after identity verification. The sweepstakes mode is available on every product we sell: a ready casino with source code from $8,500, a turnkey package from $7,500, a white label casino, or the platform source code for $19,000. The dual-coin economy, coin packages, free entry methods, prize redemption and state rules are configured during the launch, which takes 7 business days after the advance payment. Software warranty is 12 months, payment is made in three equal parts.
How a sweepstakes casino works
A sweepstakes casino does not accept bets in money. It runs on two virtual currencies, and the same slots, table games and live games are played with either of them.
Operators choose this model to serve players in US states where real-money online casinos are not licensed. The model is governed by state sweepstakes and promotion laws, the list of restricted states changes, and the platform lets you block any state or country. The list itself is defined by your legal counsel.
What the Gambling Soft platform does in sweepstakes mode
Dual wallets and coin economy
- Separate Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin balances for every player, with separate game sessions, histories and ledgers for each currency.
- Coin packages with prices, Gold Coin amounts and the free Sweeps Coin bonus per package, all set in the back office. Sweeps Coins cannot be bought directly.
- Welcome package, daily login bonus, purchase bonus, promo codes and referral rewards in either currency.
Coin packages and payments
- A coin shop on the player site and in the mobile version: card processing through providers in your region, 20+ cryptocurrencies with automatic confirmation, purchase history and refunds.
- Receipts and sales reports by package, by day and by affiliate.
Free entry methods
- Daily login bonus and Sweeps Coins with Gold Coin purchases.
- Mail-in requests: a postal request form in the official rules, a queue in the back office for manual crediting, and a log of every credit.
- Promo codes for social media and email campaigns, referral bonuses, tournaments and leaderboards with Sweeps Coin prizes.
Prize redemption
- Redemption of Sweeps Coins for cash to a bank account or card, gift cards or cryptocurrency through the connected payout providers.
- Rules you control: minimum redemption amount, playthrough requirement on bonus Sweeps Coins, daily and monthly limits, manual approval queue for large prizes.
- Identity verification before the first redemption: document and address checks through the KYC module, age check, duplicate account detection, anti-fraud scoring and automatic payout protection.
- Reports on Sweeps Coins issued, played and redeemed, and the outstanding prize liability.
State rules, age and responsible play
- Allowed and blocked list of US states and countries, enforced by IP, billing address and KYC documents; VPN and proxy detection.
- Minimum age of 18 or 21 by state, acceptance of the official rules and terms with a timestamped log.
- Purchase limits, session limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion for the player; staff roles and an audit log for every action in the back office.
Games and promotions
- About 6,000 slots, table games, crash games and live games through our aggregator, launched in Gold Coin or Sweeps Coin mode. Providers that do not allow sweepstakes deployments are excluded from the lobby automatically.
- Tournaments, jackpots, wheel of fortune, cashback and VIP levels in both currencies; email and SMS campaigns from the back office.
- Affiliate program with CPA and revenue share on Gold Coin sales, referral links and statistics for partners.
Social casino mode
If you do not want prizes at all, the same platform runs as a social casino: Gold Coins only, a coin shop, leaderboards, daily bonuses and no redemption. You can start with the social mode and switch on Sweeps Coins later without changing the platform.
Products and prices for a sweepstakes casino
The sweepstakes mode is a configuration of the platform, not a separate product. You pay for the product you choose, and the mode is set up during the launch. Custom integrations, for example a specific prize fulfilment service or a payout provider we have not connected yet, are estimated separately after a call.

Frequently asked questions
Can I turn an existing real-money casino on the Gambling Soft platform into a sweepstakes casino?
Yes. The sweepstakes mode is switched on for a brand on the same installation. Real-money brands and sweepstakes brands can run side by side on one platform, each with its own domain, currencies and rules.
Which US states can be blocked?
Any. The back office keeps an allowed and a blocked list of states and countries, and the platform checks the player’s IP, billing address and verification documents against it. The list is yours to define with your legal counsel.
How do players pay for Gold Coin packages?
By card through a processing provider in your region, by Apple Pay or Google Pay where the provider supports them, and with 20+ cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency payments are confirmed automatically.
What can players redeem Sweeps Coins for?
Cash to a bank account or card, gift cards or cryptocurrency, through the payout providers connected to your brand. Redemption opens after identity verification and the playthrough requirement you set.
Do I own the software?
With a ready casino or the platform source code you receive the full source code under a perpetual licence for any number of your own projects and domains. With a turnkey package you receive a configured site and hosting; white label runs on our infrastructure.
How long does the launch take and what does it cost?
7 business days after the advance payment. The price is the price of the product you choose: a turnkey package from $7,500, a ready casino with source code from $8,500, the platform source code for $19,000, or a white label casino for one third of the brand’s source code price plus 8% of profit.
