Pickem uses two main currencies in the Social Casino: Sweepstakes Coins (SC) and Gold Coins (GC). They serve different purposes:
Sweepstakes Coins (SC)
What they are: A promotional currency with real-world value.
How to earn them:
As a bonus when purchasing Gold Coins in the shop.
As cashback when entering real-money Lineups in Picks (DFS, coming soon).
Through daily login claims (up to 0.5 SC per day after Day 7).
By winning in Social Casino games.
How to use them: Play any Social Casino game with SC. Winnings earned from SC can be redeemed for real prizes once playthrough requirements are met.
Gold Coins (GC)
What they are: The main play-for-fun currency.
How to earn them:
Daily login claims.
Free refill of 1,000 GC whenever your balance hits zero.
Rewards from Career Mode and DFS contests.
Gameplay outcomes in Social Casino.
Purchased directly in the shop (with promotional SC included).
How to use them: Play in Social Casino games for fun, upgrade Cards in Career Mode, and place DFS lineups for entertainment. Gold Coins cannot be redeemed for prizes.
In short
Sweepstakes Coins = redeemable for prizes.
Gold Coins = just for fun.
Together, they give you two ways to enjoy Pickem’s Social Casino: one purely for entertainment and one with real rewards.
