Bonus.com’s proprietary rankings system for sweepstakes casinos — the Bonus Power Index (BPI) rating system — has seen a shakeup heading into the holiday season. Over the last month, major operators like Chanced and Global Poker have dropped their sweeps coin bonuses for new users, while platforms like Yotta have entered the market with new bonuses.
Through the ups-and-down, the launches and the exits, here’s a look at where the sweepstakes casino market stands in December 2025.
| Sweeps Casino | Sweeps Coin Rating (Dec) | Sweeps Coin Rating (Nov.) | Monthly Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chanced | 0 | 3.1 | ↓3.1 |
| Global Poker | 0 | 3.1 | ↓3.1 |
| Punt.com | 0 | 3.1 | ↓3.1 |

Chanced Ditches Its Sweeps Coin & Gold Coin Bonuses
During the month of November, Chanced Casino, owned by Gold Coin Group LLC, discontinued their no-purchase welcome bonuses for new users. This means players are no longer immediately credited with free Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC) just for signing up. Though players will still have access to ongoing methods for obtaining free coins, such as daily login bonuses, social media contests, and mail-in requests, the free SC upfront has been eliminated.
While its previous welcome package offered 2 free SC and 1,000 Gold Coins, new users now primarily receive an offer based on their first purchase or must rely on daily bonuses and promotions to accumulate their initial SC. The site is instead focusing on a large first-purchase bonus which can provide a substantial amount of GC and free SC for a discounted price.
Global Poker Drops Its No Purchase Offer
During the month of November, Global Poker (owned by VGW Holdings Limited) scrapped its existing new user bonus—which used to include a small amount of Sweeps Coins and Gold Coins for signing up.
Instead of a no-purchase sign-up bonus, Global Poker now focuses its new user promotion on a discounted first-purchase offer. This deal allows new players to buy a large Gold Coin package at a significant discount, which comes bundled with a generous amount of free Sweeps Coins. This strategic shift moves the initial value proposition away from a free sign-up gift and toward a high-value entry point for players planning to make a purchase.
Punt.com Shelves Welcome Offer
Like Chanced and Global Poker, Punt.com (also owned by Gold Coin Group LLC) no longer offers its bonus of 2 Sweeps Coins and 10,000 Gold Coins for simply registering.
Punt.com also made the change in November 2025, moving away from a traditional no-deposit welcome offer. Players are instead encouraged to utilize their daily login bonuses and social media promotions to obtain free SC. For those interested in buying coins, Punt.com now provides a strong first-purchase bonus that bundles free Sweeps Coins with a discounted Gold Coin package, echoing the new market trend of favoring purchase incentives over free sign-up credits.
Yotta Casino Launches with a Mystery Box Bonus
Defying the trend of eliminating free sign-up incentives, Yotta Casino has launched with a unique, engagement-focused welcome bonus: the Mystery Box Bonus.
Instead of a fixed amount of free currency, new users who sign up and verify their phone number are presented with a Mystery Box that contains a variable random amount of YottaCash (YC)—the site’s redeemable sweepstakes currency. This box offers a chance to win up to 50 YC right upon sign-up. This unconventional approach creates excitement and provides new users with a free, albeit randomized, entry point into the prize-redeemable sweepstakes games, providing a distinct and engaging welcome experience compared to its competitors.
