Can Gold Coins be converted into Sweeps Coins?

No, not in the standard dual-currency model. Gold Coins have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for Sweeps Coins or prizes. Players often receive Sweeps Coins alongside a Gold Coin purchase, as a free bonus, but that is a separate promotional grant linked to the purchase, not a conversion. In the ledger, the bonus SC comes from a promotional issuance account, never from the payment.

Why can't a sweepstakes casino use one wallet balance for both currencies?

A sweepstakes casino can show both currencies in one wallet interface, but it cannot safely store them as one balance or as two fields updated in place. Sweeps Coins need separate unplayed, redeemable and locked states, provenance for every coin, and exact reversals. A single balance cannot prove that no purchase funded a redeemable coin, and it is exposed to cross-crediting and race conditions.

Is one Sweeps Coin always worth one dollar?

No. Chumba Casino and High 5 Casino publish rules valuing one redeemable Sweeps Coin at US$1 in prize value. Review coverage of Fortune Wins (formerly Fortune Coins) reports a 100:1 ratio between its promotional coins and dollars. Because ratios are operator-specific, platforms should store coin units in the ledger and apply prize value in the redemption layer from configuration.

What happens to Sweeps Coins when an account is inactive?

The answer depends on the operator's published rules. Chumba Casino's Sweeps Rules (v8.0) say Sweeps Coins expire 60 days after the player last logged in. Pulsz and McLuck Terms define a dormant account as 60 consecutive days without gameplay using virtual coins, after which coins expire. The period matches; the trigger does not. Platforms need both settings.
