Crown Coins Casino Review 2024

Crown Coins is a sweepstakes casino operated by Sunflower Technology Inc. While the site popped up in 2023, its owner has been operational since 2019.

After extensive research and hands-on testing, I rate Crown Coins a legitimate sweeps site where you can enjoy hundreds of slots from several big-league providers and a host of outstanding bonuses.

Let’s check out the ratings before diving into the review.

Crown Coins casino review & ratings

There are hardly any fields where Crown Coins underperforms.

I’d say its weakest point is the lack of gaming variety, which hurts it more than the fact that it has barely over 200 slots.

On the upside, its VIP program, no-deposit bonus, and social jackpots make it an amazing choice for both newbies and serious players.

Pros & cons of Crown Coins casino

Crown Coins casino overview

What is Crown Coins casino & how does it work?

Crown Coins is a new social casino following a “Sweepstakes” gaming model.

Instead of real money, you can use Crown Coins to test games (since demoing isn’t an option) and casually enjoy your favorite slots, or stake Stake Cash for a chance of winning real money prizes.

More specifically, all received Stake Cash is considered bonus funds, so if you manage to play through 100 SCs, you can redeem them for hard cash.

SCs are worth one dollar each for prize redemptions while the Crown Coins currency holds no monetary value.

Purchases are optional - you’ll get plenty of free currency after registering an account, after which you can participate in various social media and on-site promotions to get more.

Bonus offers: 5/5

Crown Coins has a mixed bag of generous bonuses and promotions, including a robust welcome bonus, an above-average first-purchase bonus, a referral program I liked a lot, and an AMOE bonus I wasn’t overly impressed with.

A progressive daily login bonus helps Crown Coins stand out in this department. It’s miles ahead of the competition in terms of sheer size, but you’ll have to be patient to start claiming it since it’s unavailable for the first several days after registration.

Overall, you won’t ever have to purchase Crown Coin packs to play games at this site, so let’s see how to reap the advantages these bonuses have to offer.

Welcome bonus

The no-deposit bonus at Crown Coins casino includes 100,000 Crown Coins and 2 Sweeps Cash on the house.

This is one of the better sign-up bonuses compared to the industry’s average, mainly because it offers an abundance of social gaming currency and $2 in free sweepstakes coins.

What makes this welcome bonus significantly more enticing is that you’ll be offered 800,000 CC + 40 free SC for just $15.99 on your first purchase, meaning that you can grab up to 900,000 Crown Coins and 42 Sweeps Cash out of the gate.

Daily login bonus

I liked Crown Coins casino’s log-in bonus because it grows with subsequent activations.

Even the 5,000 Crown Coins you’ll receive on the first day of activation is enough to qualify it as an above-average bonus. On your second day, you’ll receive 10,000 Crown Coins and 0.5 Sweeps Cash, and then only 10,000 CC on your third day.

The log-in bonus starts to ramp up in rewards on the fourth log-in, as you’ll receive 20,000 CC + 0.8 SC. On the 5th and 6th, you’ll receive 23,000 and 24,000 Crown Coins, respectively.

If you successfully claim all bonuses for one week, your 7th log-in bonus will yield 40,000 Crown Coins and 1.5 Sweeps Cash.

The “progress” will halt on the 8th day at 40,000 Crown Coins and 0.5 Sweeps Cash, but it will increase again on the 15th consecutive log-in (60,000 CC + 1 SC), on the 22nd (80,000 CC + 1.5 SC), and finally, on the 30th log-in at 100,000 CC + 2 SC.

These are huge rewards for something as simple as showing up, but there is one small drawback - you can’t start claiming this bonus immediately.

It becomes available roughly two weeks after you’ve registered a new account; this is essentially Crown Coins casino’s safety mechanism against the proverbial “bonus hunters”.

Alternative method of entry

All registered players can grab 1 free Sweeps Cash through the mail-in bonus. Claiming this promotion is simple, as all you need to do is send a handwritten AMOE request to Crown Coins casino’s offices in Manchester.

The exact address is 35 West Brook Street, Suite #11E, Manchester NH 03101. Your AMOE request must be written by hand and contain your name, email address, and return address.

The main reason why I wasn’t over the moon with this bonus is that most alternative sites offer at least twice as much for the same effort.

Referral program

If we consider that an average sweepstakes casino typically offers roughly $15 to $25 in free sweeps per referee, Crown Coins casino’s referral program is roughly in the golden middle with 400,000 Crown Coins and 20 Sweeps Cash per head.

As always, your referred friends will have to sign up using your referral link so that the system recognizes the connection, and they’ll have to spend a minimum of $14.90 on Crown Coin packs before you can claim this bonus.

Social media promotions

Crown Coins casino’s staff is remarkably creative with their social media promotions and challenges.

They’ll sometimes use graphics of some of the games offered on the site as the framework for unique contests, such as the abovementioned Witch’s Brew Challenge, in which players have to comment their answers for a chance of winning 20,000 Crown Coins and 1 Sweeps Cash.

Many similar events are hosted quite frequently, especially around big events like Halloween, Christmas, or New Year.

When more than one major contest is on the casino’s calendar, you can expect them to hold a virtual fiesta complete with uniquely themed bonuses, special deals, and challenges.

As for regular social media promotions, you can expect all kinds of “Guess the Game”, “Find the Missing Piece”, and “Spot the Differences” challenges, most of which rock the same prizes - 20,000 CC and 1 SC.

Social jackpots

Although Crown Coins casino’s social jackpots technically belong to the social promos category, it’s a rare event that stands out with a much higher reward pool comprised of “Mystery Boxes”.

Similar to other social media events hosted by this casino, winners are randomly picked.

However, the prize boxes contain enviable combinations of free Crown Coins and Sweeps Cash, but remember that all sweepstakes currency you obtain this way is still treated as bonus funds.

Games: 3/5

Video slots

This casino is an excellent place for true connoisseurs of online slots. Some of the games I enjoyed the most while testing this casino are Sweet Bonanza, Witch’s Brew, Mad Hit Oasis, and Elephant Stampede.

If you prefer simple slots with gorgeous graphics and intuitive gameplay, I recommend Mayan Cache, Joker Madness, and Sweet Bonanza Xmas.

Megaways

Crown Coins used to be a video slot “specialist” of sorts where you couldn’t find any Megaways titles. This changed when the site partnered with Ruby Play, who brought some of its finest Immortal Ways titles into the fray.

When testing this casino, I spotted several Pragmatic Play Megaways games but ultimately spent most of my demo sessions with Madame Destiny.

User experience: 4/5

I always step into the shoes of a beginner gamer when researching new sweepstakes casinos.

When I was testing Crown Coins, I had no issues creating a new profile, logging in, or navigating the site.

However, I wasn’t a huge fan of the sidebar being on the right side, as the majority of sweeps casinos I’m a member of have it installed on the left, so I instinctively move my cursor there whenever I’m looking for shortcuts.

The site doesn’t look overwhelmingly modern, but the user interface is clean and very easy to use.

What I liked the most in the Crown Coins casino’s UX part is that a dedicated app is available in the App Store.

Let me take you on a small tour of what an average player would experience at this site.

Registration process

The screenshot above is a small but amazing detail that I love about Crown Coins.

This is one of the scant few sites that reminds (without forcing) you to read the terms and conditions before you’re allowed to register.

Then you will be asked to sign up with your Google or Facebook account, or your email address.

This feels like an extra hoop to jump through considering that most sites simply add social media authentication buttons below the official registration form, but it adds to the unique experience of Crown Coins.

Logging in with Facebook or Google is the fastest and simplest since you only need to authorize Google/Facebook to share your data with Crown Coins, and you’re all set.

If you decide to create a new account using your email address, you’ll only be asked to provide an active email address and create a new password.

Site navigation & aesthetics

Simple shortcuts, simple slot showcase reels, and a clear overview of everything the platform has to offer - this was my first impression of how Crown Coins casino looks and feels.

Even if its library was ten times larger, I doubt you’ll have trouble finding your way around the site since all the features are quite basic.

I referenced the site’s “dated graphics”, which mainly refers to how the “usual” site looks.

Crown Coins becomes significantly more eye-catching around big holidays and major events, as the site tends to appropriate gorgeous themes that often carry images of the main characters of the most popular games.

Mobile app

The Crown Coins app is available only for iOS users, but it’s among the top-ranked casino-related apps in the Apple App Store. It ranked #14 with an amazing 4.8 out of 5.0 rating based on over 4,800 reviews.

The app fully encapsulates the vibe and functionality of what you’d experience in the browser version. You’ll have access to the same games, bonuses, and shortcuts.

My tests of the Crown Coins app have shown that it performs slightly faster compared to when I was browsing the site from my iPhone.

Rewards, prizes, and loyalty program: 5/5

Crown Coins casino boasts an impressive 6-tier VIP scheme with outstanding rewards. It truly feels “exclusive” since you won’t get any perks as soon as you create a new account.

You’ll start at the“Entry Level” tier and have to climb through the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Emerald divisions if you want to reap all the advantages for your loyalty.

Let’s talk about the specifics of Crown Coins casino’s VIP program.

VIP progression & benefits

Your VIP status is determined by how many VIP points you accumulate throughout your Crown Coins casino gaming adventures. You’ll get a single VIP point per 100,000 CC or 1 SC wagered.

You’re immediately assigned the “Entry Level” status, which has no perks or special advantages.

Crown Coins calls each tier a separate “VIP Club”, and to reach the Bronze Club, you’ll need to accumulate at least 500 VIP points, which means playing through either $500 in sweeps, or 50 million Crown Coins.

The Bronze Club unlocks a special Monthly Bonus, which is a special offer that will scale in size as you reach higher VIP levels. Additionally, this tier also increases your daily bonuses by a small amount.

The trip to the Silver VIP Club can be a grind, as you’ll need to play enough to accumulate 5,000 VIP Points, meaning $5,000 in sweeps or 500 million CCs.

All the benefits of the Bronze tier are not just available but are increased; additionally, you’ll also unlock the birthday bonus as soon as you enter this division.

The Gold tier starts at 50,000 VIP points and takes the Silver privileges up a notch. I initially thought live chat wasn’t available until I realized that it’s exclusively usable by Diamond-level players.

Moreover, members of this status have several other privileges, with the extended daily SC redemption limit as the most prominent one.

If you play long enough to eclipse 5 million VIP points, you’ll reach the coveted Emerald tier and be rewarded with a personal VIP host.

Payments: 4/5

Registering and playing at Crown Coins casino is free. It is possible to buy extra Crown Coins but not Sweeps Cash - the latter can only be “gifted” by the casino if you purchase select CC bundles.

Considering that an average sweeps site only accepts Visa and Mastercard, Crown Coins has the edge with several additional payment method types.

These include the mobile wallet Apple Pay, the e-wallet Skrill, online bank transfers, and American Express cards.

If you want to learn more about how purchases and redemptions at Crown Coins work, let’s dive into these topics.

Purchasing Crown Coins

Crown Coins casino’s in-game store features five purchasable packages, 4 out of 5 of which contain free Sweeps Cash.

I love that this site has something for every budget, but I wish there were more options available. All available payment methods except for online bank transfers are suitable for CC purchases.

To buy Crown Coin packs, you need to log into your Crown Coins casino profile, tap on the plus icon built into the wallet, and choose among the five available options, which include the following:

You’ll usually receive more SCs for every purchase, but the most valuable pack in my opinion is the $19.99 one.

It offers $1 in free sweeps per bundle; all lower options offer an exact match while the prices of larger packs might be too steep for an average user.

Redeeming Sweeps Cash

You’ll need to have a verified account to send SC redemption requests; I’ll explain how to do it in the following section.

Meanwhile, it’s important to note that Sweeps Cash is basically bonus funds and must be staked at least once to be made redeemable.

A minimum of $100 in redeemable Sweeps Cash (100 SCs) is required for a cash prize.

Once you reach that target, you can choose between Skrill and Online Bank Transfer to claim the prize. I prefer Skrill because it’s the faster option, with an average redemption time of 1 to 3 business days.

To initiate the redemption process, hop aboard your Crown Coins account, tap the sidebar icon, and choose “Redeem”.

After going through the verification check, choose your preferred payment method, enter your payment details, and select how many redeemable Sweeps Cash you wish to use with this request.

Crown Coins verification process

The verification process at Crown Coins is not too different from what you’ll usually encounter at other sweepstakes casinos.

You will need to enter your full name, address, date of birth, and the ZIP code of your county/state, after which you’ll need to prove your identity by submitting the required documents.

Regarding the latter, you’ll need a photocopy of any government-issued ID like your passport, driver’s license, or identification card, as well as any document that can prove you live at the address you provided, such as a utility bill.

The verification should be quickly resolved if all the documents are in order, and you should expect the process to conclude within 24 hours.

Safety & security: 5/5

Crown Coins might be a relatively small casino, but the company behind it went the extra mile to ensure the users are as safe as possible.

This is done through sophisticated SSL encryptions, mandatory KYC checks before CC purchases (or SC redemptions, whichever comes first), and a broad spectrum of highly configurable RSG tools.

After testing many considerably larger sweeps sites, I found that only some can compare to the versatility of Crown Coins limiters, such as wager, purchase, loss, and session limit tools.

You can also “take a break” if you want to back away from the site for shorter periods or use the casino’s self-exclusion service if you want to lose all access to your profile for upwards of six months.

I also factored thousands of positive Trustpilot reviews and ratings when deciding to grant Crown Coins a perfect 5 out of 5 stars in terms of trust and safety; you can read some of them further down in my review.

Customer support: 4/5

I already mentioned in the “Rewards & Loyalty” section that only the most active players who’ve climbed the highest ladders of Crown Coins casino’s VIP program can use the live chat.

This is a big flaw considering that even non-registered users can use the same feature at other sweeps sites. Luckily, this is the only weak point in the customer service of this site.

In my experience with Crown Coins, I handled all issues and got the info I needed from the help center.

It’s remarkably well-built and features dozens of well-written articles on common problems and general issues. I tested the casino’s email and phone support lines to be thorough and was happy with the results.

Technically speaking, you could talk to Crown Coins casino’s live agents if you reach out to the team on their social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, and X).

Although they probably won’t respond immediately, it’s the second-best option for users who prefer personal modes of communication.

The ticketing system at Crown Coins casino does its job, but it can be a hit-or-miss case depending on how busy the team is when you’re using this feature.

Basically, it’s an alternative to email support with an even longer average waiting time, so use it if all other methods fail you.

How does Crown Coins casino compare to others?

Crown Coins casino’s bonuses and loyalty rewards exceed the industry’s standards but it falls short in the gaming department with unimpressive slot numbers and variety.

Individual games are great, but without any tables or live dealer games, the options tend to feel repetitive.

On the upside, Crown Coins has a dedicated mobile app for iOS and an above-average number of popular payment methods.

Let’s see how it compares to contemporary alternatives.
