How many Sweeps Coins do you get per mail-in (AMO) request?

Typically 3 to 6 Sweeps Coins per approved handwritten request, valued at roughly $1 each, though the exact amount varies by casino and is often capped per period. Check each operator's official sweepstakes rules for the precise figure.

Is mailing in for Sweeps Coins worth it?

It depends on your effective hourly rate. After postage, materials, the playthrough haircut on the coins, and the time spent handwriting each letter, the real return is often only a few dollars per hour. This calculator shows your net cash after playthrough and your effective dollars per hour so you can decide.

Is the mail-in grind actually worth it?

Mailing handwritten requests (AMO) is the no-purchase way to claim free Sweeps Coins. But stamps, stationery, the playthrough haircut, and — the big one — your time all eat into it. This works out your real net cash after playthrough and your effective $/hour, so you know whether to grab a pen or skip it.

How AMO actually works

You mail a handwritten request to the casino's address; approved letters credit free SC (typically 3–6, ~$1 each) after a 3–10 week "drop time." Most sites cap how often you can claim. The coins still carry playthrough — so the conversion % above is what turns them into withdrawable cash.
