Walk into any casino or open a screen with casino games and you hear people talk about luck like it’s in the foundations of the walls. They’ll blame a session on bad luck or credit a win to a lucky streak. If you’re a beginner, it’s easy to assume luck is the engine that powers casino play. It feels that way because random outcomes are sudden, dramSome social casinos layer in a legal twist called a sweeps casino model. That means they use two types of virtual currency: one purely for fun, and another that might be redeemable for prizes under specific sweeping laws that require “no purchase necessary.” Within this framework, you can receive one currency by buying coin packs, and bonus credits that can theoretically be exchanged for cash prizes, all while complying with legal constraints. 

Why does this matter? It gives operators a way to offer actual cash prizes without being classified as a regulated gambling service.
