I like to keep up with the latest ramblings in the sweepstakes scene, and from browsing the sweepstakes forums, I stumbled on some interesting news about a newcomer in the industry - SplashCoins. So, say hello to my SplashCoins review.
The latest entrant into the market, I am here to give you the lowdown on SplashCoins. I have spent several days examining the features, and in this review, I share the bonuses and promotions, gaming library, payment options, and support methods. So, tag along to learn more about the new kid on the sweepstakes block.
Since SplashCoins follows the sweepstakes model, you won’t find any no deposit bonuses or SplashCoins no deposit bonus codes. Instead, there is a ‘no-purchase’ welcome bonus for all players, and you can claim your bonus without needing any bonus codes. All newcomers are welcomed with a free sign up bonus of 150,000 Gold Coins + 2 Sweeps Coins. It would have been great if more SC were provided with the welcome bonus, but 150,000 GC is a very generous amount of free virtual currencies to start your gameplay.
If you need help using your welcome bonus, my SplashCoins bonus review provides a comprehensive overview of my first-hand experience using the bonus and making an SC prize redemption.
While researching my SplashCoins review, I noticed a 200% extra coins offer with the welcome bonus. This is an optional bonus as you need to make a first GC purchase, but if you want to play for free, you can decline this offer and only play with your free ‘no-purchase’ welcome bonus.
If you want to claim the welcome bonus, the first step is to create a new social casino account. Below is a step-by-step guide on registering at SplashCoins.
Click any banners on this page to access the official SplashCoins website.
Per the SplashCoins sweeps rules, you must verify your social casino account. You can submit your KYC documents (proof of ID and address) to the support team. Once your documents are approved and your account verified, you can play in sweepstakes mode and make SC prize redemptions (more on that later).
SplashCoins has done well with the look and feel of the website. As a new sweepstakes casino, there is sufficient information for players, and the FAQ page on the homepage is a nice touch. I like the dark theme background; it works well with the bright animations and graphics. I navigated the different pages and found no long loading teams. Even while playing the different casino games, there were no lags between spins.
Under the homepage, there is a FAQ section, and one of the questions is about mobile gameplay. Unfortunately, there are no SplashCoins apps, so all mobile gameplay is available with the mobile-optimized website. The mobile site uses HTML5 technology, and you can enter the URL in your mobile browser, and the site will load.
The mobile site is compatible with most devices, including Android and iOS, and is mirrored on the desktop site. You can play the same casino games plus claim bonuses on the go.
SplashCoins has an encrypted banking platform, so all GC purchases and SC prize redemptions are secure. There are only two available GC purchase payment options: Visa and Mastercard. Hopefully, the brand will add more methods as it finds its footing in the industry.
Since SplashCoins follows the sweepstakes model, SC winnings can be redeemed for cash prizes once the relevant requirements are met. You must play with your SC at least once and need a minimum of 100 SC for cash prize redemptions. Per the sweeps rules, the average processing time for cash prize redemptions is between 3 to 7 business days.
One area where SplashCoins scored below par on my SplashCoins sweepstakes casino review is with customer support. I only found one support method: email. While this is sufficient for detailed queries, and the average response is a few hours, I hope a live chat is introduced. On the positive side, a FAQ section on the homepage covers a few key questions.
Based on my research, I have found that SplashCoins is legit for US players. The sweepstakes casino is available in most US states, excluding Washington, Idaho, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Michigan, Nevada and Kentucky. If you are 18+ and from any available state, you can sign up for free and play at SplashCoins.
Playing at the casino is safe, and SplashCoins uses the latest SSL encryption technology to safeguard all players. Additional safety measures include password-secured accounts, KYC verification and an encrypted banking platform.
While browsing the SplashCoins website, I came across a few promotions for regular players. There is mention of a VIP program with several tiers and players receiving VIP points for their gameplay. The information also mentioned that rewards include bigger daily login bonuses and exclusive VIP loyalty treatment. However, I could not find any current VIP programs. Since the sweepstakes casino is still new, I expect the VIP program to be in the works. Once it goes live, I will update this review to include the latest details.
One of the current promos available to players is the daily login bonus. This works the same as most sweepstakes casinos’ daily bonuses, and every 24 hours you log in to your account, you will receive some free Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins. Players can receive up to 1,500 Gold Coins + 0.2 Sweeps Coins daily.
There is also a mail-in bonus, which is an excellent way to get free Sweeps Coins. Under the AMoE banner at the bottom of the homepage, you will find a page with the requirements for handwritten letters. These include what to include in the letter and the PO Box address to which to send the request. If your mail-in bonus request is approved, you will receive two free Sweeps Coins.
SplashCoins is not a real money casino, as the brand follows the sweepstakes model.
All newcomers are welcomed with a free sign up bonus of 150,000 Gold Coins + 2 Sweeps Coins.
There are no mobile apps, but you can play on the go with the SplashCoins mobile-optimized website.
That brings me to the end of my SplashCoins review. The best way to describe the newest sweepstakes casino is that it is a work in progress. You won’t find any table or live games or much variety with the bonuses. However, you will find a generous free welcome bonus and 150+ slot-based casino games. If you are fine with that and are willing to give SplashCoins the time to find its footing and introduce more games and bonuses, then you can go ahead and click on the banners on this page to sign up.
I found an interesting tidbit while exploring the gaming lobby at the casino. Unlike sites like RealPrize and Stake.us, at SplashCoins, all social casino games are only available by two software developers: Booming Games and Relax Gaming. For now, there are 150+ gaming titles covering slots, jackpot games and Slingo. Unfortunately, there is not much diversity, and there are no table or live games.
I tested the different games and enjoyed playing the jackpot games, and I had fun with Classic Coins, Diamond Hits and Flaming Chillies. You can play for fun using your Gold Coins and in Sweepstakes mode with your Sweeps Coins.
Overall, the gaming lobby is limited right now, but you can have an enjoyable gameplay, especially if you enjoy playing slots. Since SplashCoins just launched, it is understandable that there are only games from two developers. Still, hopefully, more games will be introduced in the coming months, especially from more developers with more variety, including table and live games.
Disclaimer: SplashCoins has recently launched, so not all features are ‘live’ yet. I will cover all the available features and what is in store, but you should double-check all information by visiting the official SplashCoins website.
SplashCoins is not a real money casino, as the brand follows the sweepstakes model. Like most sweepstakes casinos, players play for free at SplashCoins using Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC). Below is a breakdown of how these virtual currencies work:
You use Gold Coins when playing for fun. You get free GC with various bonuses and promotions, plus you can also make optional GC purchases for more GC and some free SC.
When playing in sweepstakes mode, you use Sweeps Coins. SC winnings can be redeemed for cash prizes once the relevant requirements are met. You cannot make any SC purchases, but you can get free SC with the different SplashCoins bonuses and promotions.
