Splash Coins Casino

The following sweepstakes review is taking a deep dive into a new sweepstakes casino, Splash Coins. 

In some ways, it’s clear that Splash Coins is still in the early stages of its development. The lineup of games is definitely on the smaller side as sweeps casinos go, with only around 147 titles in total, all of those slots. Promotions are similarly a little undercooked: while we like the Splash Reward Club, the casino is lacking in some classic sweeps promos, such as a daily login bonus. 

On the bright side, there are some good building blocks in place that are promising for the future. Splash Coins is active on social media, including giveaways, which is something we always love to see from a social casino trying to build a community. We had a great experience with customer support too, with helpful live chat agents available around the clock whenever we reached out.

Splash Coins is exclusively focusing on slot players, at least for now. With just 147 games in total, the offer is on the small side. The games come from Booming Games and Relax Gaming, plus a dozen or so “exclusive” games, which we have also seen at Gambino Slots but nowhere else. While the lack of variety might be frustrating for some players, it does mean that Splash Coins is a good choice for beginners who might be overwhelmed by thousands of games.

We do like the welcome bonus, though, which is worth 150,000 Gold Coins and 2 free Splash Coins with no deposit or purchase required. It took us no more than five minutes to sign up, verify our email and complete our profile — just enough to unlock the bonus. 

As for other bonuses, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’re prepared to give Splash Coins the benefit of the doubt here, and expect that the casino is going to add more bonuses over time as it grows. That’s the only logical explanation for the lack of a daily login bonus to keep supplying you with free coins, which is pretty much sweepstakes casino 101. 

On the bright side, the Splash Reward Club looks very promising. We only spent a week playing at Splash Coins in total, so we didn’t really have time to make progress in the Club. However, regular players can expect a steady stream of benefits as they progress through the six tiers: birthday gifts, expedited redemptions, and premium GC packages, to name just a few. We also appreciated the regular stream of giveaways and promos on Facebook and Instagram, which somewhat made up for the lack of a daily bonus. 

How Does Splash Coins Casino Work? 

Unlike a real money casino, Splash Coins doesn’t allow you to deposit, withdraw funds, bet or win money directly from playing games. Instead, it’s a sweepstakes casino, where you can play games totally free using two different tokens.

Gold Coins are the basic token. Using them is a little like Monopoly Money: it’s good for playing games but has no real-world value. No matter how much you win, you can’t withdraw it or redeem prizes using it. You’ll get a healthy supply of 150,000 GC as soon as you sign up, plus more through other promotions. 

It’s not a requirement to play at Splash Coins, but you can also buy GC if you want. 

Splash Coins are the promotional currency, which are often called Sweeps Coins at other sweeps casinos. SC can never be purchased, only received through various bonuses and promotions. You’ll often get some free SC as a bonus if you decide to buy GC.

SC that you win from playing games can be redeemed for prizes at Splash Coins. You need to win at least 100 SC in order to request a cash prize, with no gift cards available. 

Splash Coins is serving up slots, and nothing else. We counted 147 games in total.

Although this is smaller than average for a social casino, we were pleasantly surprised with the range of different themes and mechanics. There is a good selection of Hold & Win games, for instance, plus games themed around Ancient Greece and Egypt, the Wild West, outer space, and more. 

That said, we missed Megaways slots and progressive jackpots. If you’re going to focus on slots only, these popular formats are almost non-negotiable. 

Splash Coins could also do with adding additional categories for better organization. As it is, we were restricted to seeing new releases, popular games, and exclusives. It’s not a huge deal with only 147 games, but it will become more important as their offer grows. 

As a slots-only casino, Splash Coins doesn’t offer any classic table games, live games, or arcade games like fishing or crash games. We don’t mind this necessarily: every casino has its own identity, and a streamlined variety of slots makes Splash Coins a good entry point for beginners. 

That said, we wouldn’t recommend it to more experienced players hoping for a wide range of games, including live casino games. If that’s your thing, we recommend a casino like WOW Vegas or McLuck.

Splash Coins hosts games from just two software providers. Thankfully, these are two well-known names — Booming Games and Relax Gaming. Both are very popular at sweepstakes casinos in the US, with a well-earned reputation for producing innovative games with high-quality graphics and features.

Splash Coins also hosts a dozen or so games labelled as “exclusive”, without a listed software provider. Interestingly, we have actually played one of these games at Gambino Slots. So, we’re guessing Splash Coins has some kind of connection with that casino, although it doesn’t seem to be publicly disclosed anywhere. 

You don’t need to spend a dime to play games at Splash Coins. You can get both GC and SC totally free, both from the no-deposit welcome bonus and the various ongoing promos on social media and elsewhere. 

However, if you want to boost your free supply, you can purchase Gold Coins if you want. When you do, you usually get some free SC included as a bonus. 

You can purchase GC using either Visa, Mastercard, Pay By Bank or Skrill. The available packages start from just $1.99 and go all the way up to $999.99. Splash Coins also has a great selection of discounts available for your first purchase, which you can see below:

• $4.99 – 375,000 GC and 15 free SC (200% boost) 
• $9.99 – 500,000 GC and 20 free SC (100% boost) 
• $19.99 – 1,125,000 GC and 45 free SC (125% boost)
• $29.99 – 1,500,000 GC and 60 free SC (100% boost)
• $49.99 – 1,875,000 GC and 75 free SC (50% boost) 
• $99.99 – 3,250,000 GC and 130 free SC (30% boost)
• $199.99 – 6,000,000 GC and 240 free SC (20% boost)

Most sweeps casinos only offer one or two first purchase boosts, so we appreciate the flexibility here. 

As for prize redemptions, you need to win at least 100 SC in gameplay in order to request a cash transfer. You can get it sent either to your bank account or via Skrill.

Overall, we were happy with our banking experience at Splash Coins. We tested out a couple of methods and everything worked exactly as expected. Our GC purchases hit our account immediately, while Skrill was the fastest method for redemptions at just over 24 hours.

The only downside is the 100 SC minimum required for redemptions, which is definitely high. We’d love to see them introduce gift card prizes at a lower price, such as McLuck, where you can get gift cards for just $10. 

Yes, we’re happy to give Splash Coins our safety seal of approval for the time being. As always with a new sweepstakes casino, we need to wait and see how it performs over time before being totally confident, but all the signs are good. 

Splash Coins works with just two software providers, but both have a very good reputation in the industry for providing fair games that run using legit RNG technology. 

Before we were allowed to redeem prizes, we were required to complete KYC verification, which is a legal requirement for sweepstakes casinos. We uploaded a copy of our passport as part of the steps, and our account was verified 24 hours later. 

It’s always reassuring when a casino accepts familiar payment methods like Visa and Mastercard, and your personal data is protected by 256-bit encryption. 

Splash Coins also provides a good selection of responsible gaming tools, which is another big green flag for us. You need to email [email protected] in order to set up the following features:

• Daily, weekly or monthly GC purchase limits
• Activity Reminders to encourage you to take a break
• Temporary break for a week, 14 days, or 30 days
• Permanent self-exclusion

Legal Status of Splash Coins Casino  

Splash Coins is a legal sweepstakes casino. Since it doesn’t accept cash for betting, it isn’t considered a real money gambling site and therefore doesn’t require a gambling license in the way that casinos like BetMGM or Caesars do. 

Instead, the games are all free to play. The prizes you can redeem when you play in SC mode legally fall under the category of sweepstakes prizes, rather than gambling winnings. 

For this reason, Splash Coins is free to operate in 36 US states, including many that have made online gambling illegal. You can’t sign up with Splash Coins from the following states:

• Arizona
• California
• Connecticut
• Idaho
• Indiana
• Louisiana
• Maryland
• Michigan
• Montana
• Nevada
• New Jersey
• New York
• Kentucky
• Washington

Our experience with customer support was one of the real positives of our Splash Coins review. We were able to get in touch with a real person, pretty much instantly, via the live chat every time we reached out. Better still, the agents we spoke to always answered our questions with no issues. You’ll connect with a bot first, but it’s simple to ask to be transferred to a human.

Live chat is, by far, the best way to get fast help in our experience, so we were very happy with this service. 

If you prefer, you can also email Splash Coins at [email protected].

After spending 14 hours on the site over ten days in total, we’re left with many positive impressions, as well as some areas where Splash Coins can improve. Let’s recap them.

With its rather small lineup of 147 slots, we’re happy to recommend Splash Coins to beginners curious about the world of sweepstakes slots. The welcome bonus is perfect for this too: 150,000 GC and 2 free SC is more than enough to sustain your gaming for a long time, without making a purchase. 

If you’re happy to spend some money, there’s a variety of first purchase bonuses on offer at a range of different price points. We appreciated the efficient live chat support and found both purchases and redemptions very simple. 

Now the downsides. Splash Coins is definitely lagging behind when it comes to bonuses and promotions. For starters, we’d like to see the casino introduce a daily login bonus, to provide a steady supply of GC and SC. Other sweeps promos, like daily missions, prize wheels or slot tournaments with prize pools, are also absent. 

Finally, the small menu of slots means we can’t really recommend Splash Coins to more experienced players, or anyone hoping for a well rounded casino experience. That might change if Splash Coins decides to introduce table games or a live casino in the future. 

We also want to hear from you. If you’ve joined Splash Coins, head over to our forums to let our readers know what you make of the casino and check out what they think too.
