The free entry route, in short

You can request Sweeps Coins from us by post, free, without buying anything.

The route exists because a promotional sweepstakes has to offer a genuine free way in. That free entry is the line between a lawful sweepstakes and a lottery, where paying is the only way to take part. Buying Gold Coins is optional, carries no gameplay advantage, and does not improve your chance of winning.

What to write on the card

Four details make a request qualify, all of them hand-printed by the entrant on one 3in x 5in card:

• Your full legal name
• Your complete residential address (a PO Box is not accepted)
• A valid email address
• Your date of birth

Where to send it

Address the outer envelope exactly as below.

Postage is yours to pay, and it needs to be enough. Betzy is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, illegible, misdirected or postage-due mail, which means a request that does not arrive complete and readable does not qualify. Betzy does not publish a required class of postage.

What each request receives

Each qualifying request receives one (1) Sweeps Coin.

One request goes in each outer envelope, and you may send more than one envelope. Mechanically reproduced entries are void, so the card has to be hand-printed rather than photocopied, printed in bulk or produced for you by a service.

We do not publish how long a mailed request takes to reach an account, and we would rather leave that blank than estimate it. Credits are typically applied shortly after the request is processed.

Free entries are equal entries

Free entries are equal entries. A Sweeps Coin that arrives by post carries the same prize eligibility and the same chance of winning as a Sweeps Coin obtained any other way. There is no separate prize pool for mailed entries and no lower tier, and a Gold Coin purchase gives no gameplay advantage.

One complication belongs here and not in the small print. We track every Sweeps Coin as either Bonus-Derived or Purchase-Derived, and a coin awarded for a mailed request is Bonus-Derived. An account whose redeemable balance is entirely Bonus-Derived, with no purchase behind it, can redeem 20 SC ($20.00) in total, once in the lifetime of the account, and the standard 50 SC minimum does not apply to that redemption. Equal odds, different cap. The wider set of limits is on the page about redeeming Sweeps Coins, and the two currencies are set out under Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins.

The other free routes

Alongside the post, we award Sweeps Coins free through three other routes:

• Daily login bonus, a free Sweeps Coin allocation each day you log in
• Promotional bonuses through in-platform promotions, social giveaways, referral programs and special events
• Free-play promotions credited as a new-user welcome offer or an event award

The rest of the model, from the two currencies through to redemption, is set out on the how Betzy works hub.

After your request arrives

Sweeps Coins from a qualifying request are credited to your Betzy account, and each one arrives Unplayed. An Unplayed Sweeps Coin cannot be redeemed until it has been wagered through at least one complete game round, which makes it Redeemable. A mailed coin then meets the same conditions as any other, including identity verification and the gates described in how redemption works.
