Clubs Poker is a fresh social poker room based on a sweepstakes poker system. It launched in 2023 exclusively for the United States of America and gives U.S. residents in specific states an opportunity to play online poker legitimately and even make money from that.
What Is Sweepstakes Poker System?
Sweepstakes is a type of poker social app that uses virtual internal coins for buy-ins and prizes instead of real money. Usually these coins are split into two categories: ones are for internal only use and others are exchangeable for real money.
Why Is Sweepstakes Poker Legal In The USA?
Sweepstakes poker is legal in the United States because real money is not directly used to play in rooms with this system.
The system functions like any gaming application, where you cannot directly deposit real money on your account but you can only buy internal currency in a package to play with it.
Sweepstakes And Coins On Clubs Poker
Clubs Poker operates with two types of coins:
Gold Coins (GC) can be used to play any type of poker and casino games in the room. They are credited on the account for free on a daily basis just for logging in but also can be purchased as packages for real money. For example, in September 2024 a package of 100,000 GC costs $20. These coins can’t be exchanged for any cash or prizes.
Sweeps Coins (SC) can also be used to play any games in the room and credited on the account on a daily basis for free. Unlike GC, SC can be won in any games and redeemed for real cash or gift cards but can’t be purchased.
1 SC is equivalent to $1 in prizes. So if you won, for example, 20 SC — you can exchange them for $20.
How To Get Free Coins?
To get your free coins after logging in the room, you need to hit two buttons in a lobby: “Get Coins” first and “Collect Now” second.
The amount of coins depends on their type:
- Gold Coins — 2.5K per day
- Sweep Coins — 0.5 per day
As a Welcome Bonus, all new players also can have 20 Sweeps Coins free after purchasing at least a 100,000 Gold Coins package for $20.
