Getting started.

A sweepstakes is a promotion where prizes are awarded by chance and there is a free way to participate. That is what the familiar “No purchase necessary” line means. Sweeps casinos apply that model to casino-style games, with two separate balances instead of a single real-money casino balance.

Gold Coins (GC) are for play

Gold Coins are the entertainment currency. Sites may sell GC packages and may also give GC away. You can use GC to play the games, but GC has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for prizes.

Sweeps Coins (SC) are the prize path

Sweeps Coins are the promotional currency used in sweeps play. Sites give people ways to receive SC for free, commonly through a daily login bonus, social promotions, or an alternative method of entry (AMOE), often a mail-in request. Some sites also include free SC with specially marked GC packages. Under the sweeps model, sites describe SC as free rather than selling it directly.

When you play in SC mode, you can win more SC. Some of the SC you win may be redeemable for cash, gift cards, or another prize after you meet the site's rules. The exact coin names vary by site. Sweep Collector uses SC as a common label for each site's sweeps currency and shows a separate redeemable balance when the site exposes one.

Why do sites give away a daily bonus?

Many sites offer a little GC, SC, or both to encourage return visits. Daily bonuses can be one way to receive free SC, but they are not always the site's official no-purchase entry method. Social promotions and a separate mail-in option are also common. Sites commonly sell optional GC packages; the daily gift is a promotion, not guaranteed earnings. Check the official rules for every no-purchase method.

Sweep Collector handles supported daily-login claims, selected time-sensitive social reward links, and balance tracking. It does not buy GC packages, send mail-in AMOE requests, play games, or request prize redemptions.

Why is there a free way to enter?

Sweepstakes promotions cannot require a purchase. The FTC's guidance also explains that each state can add its own rules.

That is why site rules spell out no-purchase entry methods and distinguish play-only GC from prize-linked SC. The two-coin setup is not a blanket legal exception. A state can restrict or ban the model, and the site's exact rules and operation still matter. Check the current rules before participating.

One more distinction: a site can be available in your state while its terms still restrict automation. Sweep Collector is independent from the sites and does not change their terms. See our Terms and decide whether automation is appropriate for your account.

1. Collect: Get SC through one of the site's permitted methods, such as a daily bonus, promotion, mail-in entry, or a bonus attached to an eligible GC package.
2. Play through: Use promotional SC in qualifying games. Sites may require a certain amount of play before winnings from it can be redeemed. Which games count varies by site and bonus type.
3. Reach the minimum: Build enough redeemable SC to meet the site's minimum redemption. Games can lose, so a bonus is not guaranteed profit.
4. Verify and request: Complete identity and location checks (KYC), choose an available prize method, and wait for the site to approve the redemption.

An SC number on screen is not cash in a bank account. Your total SC, remaining playthrough, and redeemable balance can be different numbers. Sweep Collector tracks each one when a supported site makes it available.

Quick glossary

• AMOE: Alternative method of entry, a no-purchase way to enter a sweepstakes, often by mail.
• Playthrough: How much SC you must use in qualifying games before related winnings can be redeemed.
• Redeemable: The portion of a sweeps balance currently eligible for a prize request, subject to the site's review.
• KYC: “Know your customer,” the identity, age, and address checks a site performs before paying a prize.
• Minimum redemption: The smallest prize request a site will process.

Sweep Collector automates accounts you already have on third-party sweepstakes and sweeps-casino sites. A few real-world rules apply before you start, and importantly, we don't set any of them. Each site sets its own eligibility, so always check the site's official rules before you rely on it.

Age

You must be at least 18 to use Sweep Collector (see our Terms). The sites themselves set their own age minimums on top of that: most require 18 or older, and some require 21, in certain states or across the board.

Where you can play

Sweeps play is US-only for most sites (a couple also allow Canada), and each site excludes certain states. Washington is the most common, and the list has been growing through 2025–2026 as more states pass laws. We mirror each site's current rules in the table below for convenience, but they change often, so the site's own rules page (linked from its name) stays the authoritative source. Confirm your state is eligible there before you add a site.

Current as of July 2026. The linked rules are authoritative. "Min redemption" is the smallest prize you can cash out. Every site verifies your identity (KYC) before your first redemption.

What you need on your machine

• A desktop computer running macOS, Windows, or Linux. Sweep Collector is a native desktop app, not a cloud service.
• Google Chrome installed. Check-ins run in real Chrome, not a bundled browser.
• The machine on and awake when bonuses are due. By default, Sweep Collector can prevent system sleep while scheduled runs are enabled and the computer is plugged in, while still letting the display turn off. See How does the scheduler work? for the details.

Signing up at the sites

Register at each site with your real full name, address, email, and a strong password. Sweeps sites verify identity (KYC) before paying out prizes, so accurate details when you register save you a rejected redemption later. The encrypted credential records Sweep Collector stores remain on your machine; normal diagnostic text is scrubbed, with the temporary rich-capture exception disclosed in Privacy. See Where does your data live?.

Sweep Collector is a desktop app. It runs on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (x64 and ARM64).

One prerequisite: Google Chrome. Check-ins run in a real Chrome window on your machine because a real browser is far less likely to be flagged than a bundled one. If you don't have it, grab it from google.com/chrome. The app checks for Chrome on its own and shows a banner with a download link if it's missing; install it and the banner clears by itself.

1. Hit Download on the home page and grab the build for your OS.
2. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag Sweep Collector.app into Applications. On Windows, run the x64 .exe installer. It runs natively on Intel and AMD Windows and through x64 emulation on Windows 11 on Arm; there is no native Windows ARM64 build, and Windows 10 on Arm is not supported. On Linux, choose ARM64 for an Arm processor or x64 for an Intel or AMD processor, then make the .AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it.
3. Launch the app. The first time it runs it'll set up a local SQLite database under your user data directory and ask you to sign in.

Moving an older Windows install

Use these steps only when an older copy is installed under Program Files. Stay signed in to the same Windows account so your local data remains available.

1. Quit Sweep Collector and wait for it to close.
2. Open Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps and uninstall Sweep Collector. The old Program Files uninstall may ask for one administrator approval.
3. Download the current Windows installer and run it normally. Do not use Run as administrator. It installs to%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Sweep Collector for your account.
4. Reopen the app and check your sites, schedules, history, settings, browser sessions, saved logins, license state, and start-at-login preference.

Do not delete %APPDATA%\Sweep Collector. That folder stays outside the normal installer and uninstaller scope so the same Windows account keeps its local state.

Auto-updates ship through the same channel. New versions download in the background and install at a safe idle moment; you can also restart sooner from the app when an update is ready.

Accounts are managed through this website. The desktop app signs in against the same credentials.

1. Go to /signup and create an account with your email and a password.
2. Check your inbox for a verification email and click the link. Verified accounts can sign in to the desktop app.
3. Open /account and start a subscription. Checkout runs through Stripe; you pick the number of players (usually one) and the rest of the flow is standard card capture.

You can change the number of players, update your payment method, or cancel any time from the Manage subscription button. It opens the Stripe Customer Portal.

Once the app is signed in and you have an active subscription, the dashboard will show your catalog of supported sites. To get one running:

1. Pick a site from the catalog and click Add account.
2. Sweep Collector opens a real Chrome window (using your installed Chrome, not a bundled Chromium) for you to log in. Cookies persist in a per-site profile directory after that, so you only log in once.
3. Enter the credentials you want stored locally for re-login. Their encrypted database records remain on your machine; see Privacy for the temporary rich-capture exception involving binary session evidence.
4. The site's card on the dashboard now shows a schedule. Toggle Auto-run on and you're done.

Signing in with Google

Every site in the catalog also supports signing in with Google, for site accounts that were created that way. Open the site, pick Google under How do you sign in to this site?, enter the Google address that account uses, and save. Then click Run now once and finish the Google sign-in in the browser window that opens.

That is a one-time step per site. Each site keeps its own Chrome profile, so the sign-in stays in that profile and every check-in after it reuses the session. No Google password is stored, and Sweep Collector never types one: you complete the sign-in yourself in the visible window.

Choose Google only for a site account that was actually created with Google. If you made the account with an email and password, leave that site on its email option instead. Google sign-in needs Sweep Collector 0.8.0 or newer; your version is at the bottom of Settings, and the app checks for updates on its own.

Don't see a site you need? Email us. We add sites on request and the catalog ships through normal app updates.

Each site has a cadence baked into the catalog (typically every 25 hours for a daily-bonus claim that's gated on a 24-hour timer). The scheduler ticks every 30 seconds and fires jobs that are due.

• Jobs run while Sweep Collector is running. The app keeps a small browser context per site, drives Chrome through it, and records the run's logs and balance snapshot to the local database.
• Leave the app open on the machine that runs your schedules. On Windows and Linux, closing the window quits the app and stops scheduled runs. On macOS, closing the window keeps the app running in the Dock, so schedules keep firing until you quit.
• By default, Sweep Collector can keep the computer awake while schedules are enabled and the machine is plugged in. Your display can still turn off. You can disable this in Settings, or turn off the plugged-in-only guard if you intentionally run from battery.
• If your machine is asleep when a job is due, the run is deferred; overdue jobs run on wake the next time the scheduler ticks. There's no make-up window for runs missed while the app was quit; a missed cycle is just one missed cycle.
• You can run a job ad-hoc from the site card's Run now button at any time.

Run history lives on the site detail panel: open the card, scroll the activity list, and you'll see every claim with timestamps, the resulting balance, and a log download for the curious.

Some sites post short-lived reward links outside their normal daily-login bonus. Sweep Collector can detect selected links from a supported Discord freebie feed, send the validated reward to the desktop app, and redeem it in the same local Chrome profile used for that player's site account. You do not connect a Discord account or give Sweep Collector social-media credentials.

Current support is intentionally narrow: automatic redemption is available for reviewed Crown Coins playnow.crowncoinscasino.com redirects and direct crowncoinscasino.com/?pc=… links, direct RealPrizerealprize.com/?bndid=… links and exactd10xl.com/realprizerewards/… redirects, and Baba Casinod10xl.com/babacasino/… redirects plus theplay.babacasino.com/?bc_coupon=…&coupon_version=… coupon links they lead to. Other Crown reward formats, other RealPrize and Baba redirect routes, scratchers, other sites, Facebook, and X are still being tested and are not automatically redeemed.

What needs to be set up?

• An active Sweep Collector subscription and a player registered on this PC.
• Crown Coins, RealPrize, or Baba Casino added for that player, with a saved account and a working signed-in Chrome profile for the matching site.
• Sweep Collector open, the computer awake, and Google Chrome installed before the reward expires.

What happens when a supported reward appears?

• The one-off reward waits for any regular collection already using Chrome, then opens the reviewed link in the player's existing profile for that site.
• The app checks the site's own reward state before interacting, performs only the reviewed reward action, and verifies the result afterward.
• Before-and-after balances are stored locally and included in balance and earnings history. The one-off run does not move the next daily check-in.

The daily Auto-run toggle controls the recurring daily schedule. A supported Crown Coins or RealPrize bonus drop is separate and can run for the matching configured account even when that daily schedule is turned off.

A player is one real person and their set of site accounts: one gains.com login, one chumba login, and so on. Most people start as a single player.

When more than one person shares a computer, each one gets their own player. Say you and your partner both play, or it's you and a roommate, or a parent and an adult child. Add a player for each person and Sweep Collector keeps every login, cookie, Chrome profile, and balance history sealed off from the others on the same PC. Nobody can open, watch, or touch anyone else's accounts. The household dashboard adds everyone's balances together, and an earnings filter lets each person see just their own.

Each player runs on one active machine at a time, so a household's players usually all run on the same shared PC. You register a player to a machine, and you can move it to another one or release it whenever you want.

On the billing side, one player is one license, one seat on your subscription. Two people means two players. See Pricing for the rate, and change the number of players any time from the billing portal.

A player is always for a distinct real person with a single account per site. It is never a way to run more than one account at the same site. Every site treats one person holding multiple accounts on the same site as a ban-worthy signal, so the app deliberately does not support it.

Sweep Collector is local-first. The split between what's stored on the server and what stays on your machine:

On the server (this website's Worker and database)

• Your account email, hashed password, and email verification status.
• Billing state: Stripe customer and subscription IDs, quantity (player count), period dates. No card numbers; that's all Stripe.
• License rows that link each player to your account (one row per active player, plus a device-binding fingerprint so the desktop app knows it's activated).
• First-party referral attribution and limited commission records when an approved partner link referred you.
• A bounded shared promotion-feed corpus and parsed active rewards used for supported social bonus drops. This source data is not connected to your site credentials or a personal Discord account.

On your machine (local SQLite and per-site Chrome profiles)

• Site credentials, encrypted with your OS keychain via Electron's safeStorage (the same primitive 1Password and Slack use). Stored as opaque blobs.
• Cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB for each site, kept in a per-site Chrome profile directory under your user data folder.
• Balance history, run logs, and schedule state, all in a single SQLite file next to the database.

No third-party analytics or cross-site tracking on the desktop app or marketing site. The website uses first-party referral attribution for approved partner links. The desktop app sends structured crash events and broken-site text diagnostics to Sentry, so we can fix what breaks; credentials and other known-sensitive fields are scrubbed before that text is sent. The Worker handles authentication/billing and receives authenticated diagnostic uploads when that feature is active; temporarily armed rich captures can contain binary session evidence that cannot be text-scrubbed. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

Want it gone? /account has a Danger Zone that deletes your account, cancels the Stripe subscription, and removes its auth and license rows. Limited payment and referral commission records are retained as described in the Privacy Policy. The desktop app's data is yours to remove from your user data directory when you're done with it.

Email support@sweepcollector.com with anything: bugs, site requests, billing questions, "is this broken or am I doing it wrong." We read every message.
