A free-to-play online casino that uses virtual currency for entertainment only, with no cash prize redemption available.
Social casinos are free-to-play gaming platforms where players use virtual coins or credits that have no real-world monetary value. Unlike sweepstakes casinos, social casinos do not offer any mechanism to redeem winnings for cash prizes. Players can purchase additional virtual currency to extend their gameplay, but these purchases are treated as entertainment spending, not gambling deposits. Social casinos are legal in all US states because no real-money prizes are involved. Popular examples include Slotomania and Heart of Vegas. Many sweepstakes casinos also include a social casino component through their Gold Coin system.
