Since 2012, Chumba Casino has given US players a fully legal path to prize-eligible gaming — no real-money wagering, no gambling license needed. Every spin, every card, every bingo ticket counts toward prizes you can actually redeem.
Most online casinos require a gambling license to operate legally in the US. Chumba Casino sidesteps this entirely through a promotional sweepstakes framework — the same legal structure used by major consumer brands running national prize competitions.
Gold Coins are for entertainment only — no monetary value, no playthrough, no limits. Sweeps Coins are prize-eligible at a fixed rate of 1 SC = $1.00 in prize value.
Under US sweepstakes law, every promotional prize must be obtainable without payment. Chumba honors this through daily login bonuses, social promotions, and a postal Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE).
Play eligible games in Sweeps Coin mode. Meet the 1× playthrough, build to a 100 SC minimum balance, then redeem via bank transfer or gift card — processed through Yodlee.
Because this is sweepstakes play — not gambling — Chumba Casino is accessible in the vast majority of US states without any special licensing requirement on the player's side.
First Purchase (Optional): $10 delivers 10,000,000 GC + 30 SC — a package ordinarily valued at $30. Available once per new account, coins credited instantly.

Registration at Chumba Casino takes under two minutes and requires nothing beyond a valid email address. Here is the full process from start to first game.
Click the Sign Up button and enter your full name, date of birth, email, and a password. Alternatively, sign up through your existing Facebook account in one click.
Check your inbox for the verification email. Click the link inside — this is the only step required before your welcome bonus is credited.
2,000,000 Gold Coins and 2 Sweeps Coins appear in your balance the moment your email is confirmed. No promo code, no form, no waiting.
Submit a government-issued ID and link a bank account via Yodlee before you reach 100 SC. Getting this done early removes any hold on your first payout.
After registration, your login is your email and password — or your Facebook credentials if you used that sign-up method. Both options are available on every device and through the Chumba Lite Android app.
Yodlee is a regulated US fintech service used widely across the banking sector to confirm account ownership. It links your bank account for prize redemptions without storing your full banking credentials on Chumba's servers.
Every game in our library runs on iTechLabs-certified RNG infrastructure and is playable in both Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin mode. The catalog covers every major format players expect from a full-service platform.
VGW exclusive titles — available only at Chumba Casino:
Chumba Casino's progressive jackpot section runs on two distinct prize tiers, both fully redeemable as real prizes through the standard SC redemption process.
Shared across multiple Chumba-exclusive titles including the Stampede Fury series. Won through specific symbol combinations during base game play or a dedicated jackpot bonus round.
The higher-tier progressive, also seeding at GC 25,000,000. Two titles currently carry this jackpot. Builds across all qualifying spins regardless of bet size.
All jackpot outcomes are governed by the same iTechLabs-certified RNG as every other game in the catalog. Minimum bet to qualify varies by title — check the in-game paytable before each session.
The sweepstakes model legally requires that every prize be obtainable for free. Chumba Casino delivers on this through five separate free Sweeps Coins channels — each independent of the others.
2 SC credited immediately on account verification. No code, no purchase, no conditions beyond 1× playthrough before your first redemption.
Log in every consecutive day to advance your streak. A full 7-day cycle delivers 13 SC in free coins — up to 3 SC on Day 7 alone.
Follow Chumba Casino on Facebook, Instagram, and X for regular free SC giveaways, new game launch events, and flash promotions.
Send a handwritten postal request once per day under the Alternative Method of Entry provision in our Sweepstakes Rules. No purchase ever required.
Every Gold Coin package purchased includes Sweeps Coins as a standard component — not as a bonus, but as a core part of every transaction tier.
High-engagement players receive VIP access by invitation: exclusive coin packages, priority support, and expedited processing on redemption requests.
Redeeming your Sweeps Coins is the final step in turning free-to-play into real prize value. The process is straightforward once your account is verified.

Tip: Complete your KYC verification long before you need to redeem. Any hold placed on a first payout is almost always due to incomplete verification, not a balance or playthrough issue.
