The difference is prize eligibility
Many social casinos only offer entertainment coins with no prize redemption. Sweepstakes casinos usually add a promotional prize-entry currency that may be redeemable if terms, verification, and eligibility requirements are met.
In Indiana, do not rely on the brand's marketing label alone. Read the terms to see whether prize redemptions are available to your state.
Why the distinction matters
Indiana enacted HEA 1052 with a July 1, 2026 effective date for certain dual-currency internet sweepstakes games, so availability should be treated as changing while operators update state lists.
A site can look like a casino and still be structured as promotional sweepstakes play. That is why every Greensweeps page separates entertainment coins, Sweeps Coins, redemption, and responsible-play language.
