Understanding Sweeps Coin Mail-In Requests
As of Jan. 1, 2026, sweepstakes casinos are illegal in California. The following information is based on states where they are legal.
There are a few ways to get sweeps coins, and the most fundamental among them is by completing sweepstakes casino mail-ins. Since sweeps sites aren’t technically casino gambling, they fall under the sweepstakes model. In turn, if you write in to these operators asking for sweeps coins, they are legally required to provide you with some. While the amount of sweeps coins you will receive varies by operator, the end goal is always the same: You can restock your sweeps coins by writing letters to sweepstakes casino and requesting them.
Let’s take a closer look at the process for getting free sweeps coins through the mail.
Comparing the mail-in process for different sweeps sites
Before you can request free sweeps coins from operators, your account usually must be verified. If you have any questions on that process, we’ve created a helpful guide on the sweeps sites’ verification process.
Then, when it comes to writing the sites, in each letter requesting Sweeps Coins you will need to write a specific statement. For example, if you’re a player at McLuck and want additional sweeps coins, you will need to write the following statement:
“I would like to request free Sweepstakes Coins offered by B-Two Operations Limited to enter the promotional Sweepstakes offered on mcluck.com. I agree to be bound by the general Terms of Service and Sweepstakes Rules.”
You may have to dig around to find these instructions and statements, but generally, these are found somewhere on sweeps sites.
Here’s an overview of certain requirements for different sweeps platforms.

Step-by-step guide to mailing in for free Sweeps Coins
Here are the steps you will need to follow to mail in for sweeps coins:
Step 1: Research the sweeps casino’s mailing requirements
- Come up with a list of the items needed. You will need to include your account information, but sites have different requirements. You’ll also need a stamp, as well as a specific type of envelope.
- You can find this information typically on a sweeps site’s terms and conditions. We also recommend doing some investigating on sweepstakes casino forums to see how others have gone about writing their letters.
Step 2: Gather the materials
- You’ll need to have a piece of paper where you write your request. Most operators like this card to be within a specific size, and often it must be blank – no lined paper.
- Get your envelope (typically a #10 envelope) and a stamp.
- Most people don’t submit just one letter asking for sweeps coins, so we recommend looking for bulk deals on envelopes and stamps. You can find these for sale at your local post office. You may find much better deals on the internet, though.
Step 3: Write your request letter
- Before you begin, research the specific template for the request letter. Each operator will require you to write a specific statement. It will also need to be handwritten. Some operators, such as WOW Vegas, require this letter to be written in all capital letters.
- You’ll need to use a specific color of ink in your letter. Some sweeps sites only accept blank ink. Others will let you use any color except something specific, like blue or black.
- Using the wrong color of ink is a common mistake, and one the sweeps sites will be sticklers on. Additionally, make sure your handwriting is clear and you don’t have any spelling errors.
Step 4: Address the envelope correctly
- It’s key to double-check the sweepstakes casino’s address. If this is wrong, it will not be sent to the correct place, and you will not get your free sweeps coins.
- You will also want to provide a return address for added security.
- Some sweeps sites will include tricky spelling in their address, such as Stake.us, which has the name “Sweepsteaks” in the address. If it isn’t spelled just like that, the casinos can deny you your free coins.
Step 5: Send the letter
- When you go to mail your letter, just as you would with anything in the mail, you have options for tracking and how fast you’d like it to arrive at its destination. That is up to you. If you’re wanting to do this as cost-effective as possible, we suggest the cheapest route.
- Once you’ve sent your letter, chances are it will take some time for the operator to credit your account with the free sweeps coins. It’s not necessarily a quick process. More than likely, it will take a few weeks.
Good deals on envelopes, stamps, and notecards
If you’re writing a letter for free sweeps coins, chances are you’re trying to spend the least amount of money possible in the process. It’s requires a bit of hustle, but if you keep an eye out for deals you can save significant money. After all, envelopes, cards, and postage all cost something.
As a general rule of thumb, it’s cheaper to buy these supplies in bulk, especially when it comes to stamps and envelopes, from the U.S. Postal Service. But if you’re looking for something even cheaper, there are a few options.
Amazon is a great option for both envelopes and notecards. You can find deals on #10 envelopes, such as 500 for roughly $25. You can find blank 4×6 index cards in bulk, too. We found options for 500 unlined notecards for the same price as those envelopes.
Stamps can be a bit trickier, since there has been an influx in fakes being produced. Only buy from reputable sellers. You can find bulk options for stamps at places like Costco, Sam’s Club, CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, and others.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can… usually, anyway. But most sweeps sites will require you to have a request code for each letter. You can’t use the same request code for multiple letters.
It’s not a super fast process. You will need to wait a few days for your letter the be delivered. From there, sweeps operators will need time to process your request. This could take a couple of weeks. It’s a good reminder to be patient!
Sometimes you might make a mistake with your letter (wrong ink color, unclear writing, wrong address, etc.). In some cases, sweeps operators will let you know why your letter was rejected, although sometimes they won’t. It’s important to take that feedback and adjust going forward. If your letter is lost, double check that it made it to the right address. If you want some peace of mind going forward, consider a tracking option with your letter, although it will be more expensive going forward.
It’s tough to know for sure, but we’ve seen instances of sweeps sites banning accounts because they believe the number of letters they are receiving from individuals feels automated or from third parties. Avoid bulk submissions and remember to use your specific codes no more than once to remain eligible.
Common mistakes to avoid
It can be easy to make mistakes when you’re mailing in these letters. There are a lot of steps to follow with very specific instructions. Here are some of the common mistakes we’ve seen:
- Sending incomplete or incorrect requests.
- Missing deadlines or caps for free Sweeps Coins requests.
- Forgetting to include all required details in your letter.
- Not verifying your account before sending your request through the mail.
- Using the wrong ink color for your letter.
- Sending your letter in the wrong envelope type.
