In some states, Gains.com runs in Merch Mode. Your games and your Sweeps Coins work the same. The difference is how purchases work.
🔄 What is different in a merch state
Merch Mode is a single currency experience. Sweeps Coins are the only currency, and there are no Gold Coins while you are in a merch state.
There is no Buy Coins button. Purchases happen in the Gains Shop, and every merch purchase comes with free Sweeps Coins. See The Gains Shop.
The Daily Claim works as normal.
Free ways to get Sweeps Coins, including mail-in entry, still work. See Can I Get Free Sweeps Coins?
🚗 Traveling between states
Your experience is based on your location, so it switches automatically when you enter or leave a merch state. You never lose a balance when this happens.
Some promotions are only usable in the state where they were offered. If a promotion says it is not available in your current location, it will be usable again when you return.
🏆 Redemptions
Redeeming prizes works the same in merch states. The usual limits and verification apply. See Redemption Limits. Sweeps Coins from merch purchases carry the standard playthrough requirement before they can be redeemed.
📍 Location sharing
Because your experience is based on your location, the app needs location access to unlock play and purchases. If something says your location is required, see Seeing a Not Available in Your Region Message?
