CrownCoins Casino

Is CrownCoins Casino safe?

CrownCoins is a slots site that pays cash prizes without a casino licence, and it lets in 18-year-olds. Three states have told its operator to stop, its privacy policy allows the sale of your name and address, and it offers no two-step log-in. We score CrownCoins Casino 38/100, level with Pulsz and a little below Chumba Casino at 40.

It is also one of the most popular apps of its kind. On 28 October 2026 it was the 7th most downloaded free casino app in Apple's US chart, with more than 144,000 ratings. The listing tells you to "PLAY. WIN. REDEEM. REPEAT." and, a few lines later, that "we do not offer any real-money gambling".

How CrownCoins works

Crown Coins are for play only and are what you buy. Sweeps Coins come free with Crown Coin packs, as bonuses or without a purchase, and can be redeemed for prizes by bank transfer, Skrill or a prepaid virtual card. Before a first redemption you upload a government ID and a proof of address dated within three months, such as a bank or credit card statement, and the help centre also describes source-of-funds checks. Redemptions are reviewed within 24 to 72 hours, sometimes up to 7 days.

Sweeps Coins expire 60 days after your last log-in, all balances are lost if an account is closed, and the help centre says coins "may also be forfeited at our discretion". The terms name the operator as Sunflower Limited, at a post office box in Fredericksburg, Virginia, together with Stiarsia Ltd. in Limassol, Cyprus, and say Sunflower trades as Crown Coins Casino.

The terms also take away your day in court. Disputes go to individual arbitration run by JAMS, class actions are waived, and the only way out is a hand-signed notice sent within 30 days of first accepting the terms. CrownCoins' liability is capped at what you spent in the previous 30 days.

Which states have acted against CrownCoins?

Maryland's Lottery and Gaming Control Agency wrote to "Sunflower Limited d/b/a Crown Coins Casino" on 3 June 2025 that online casino gaming is not permitted in the state, and asked it to confirm within 10 days when it would stop. In December 2025 Tennessee's Attorney General listed Crown Coins Casino among about 40 sweepstakes casinos that had "indicated their intent to comply" with cease-and-desist letters. According to CrownCoins' own help centre, Sweeps Coins play for Tennessee players ended on 7 July 2026.

On 4 February 2026 the Illinois Gaming Board told CrownCoins it had seen the site offer slots and bingo with cash, gift cards and other prizes on 9 January, and demanded that it block Illinois residents or stop the prizes. The current terms (version 4.1, "last updated on 08/09/2026") still do not list Maryland or Illinois. They exclude Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Washington, US territories and everywhere outside the US, while the summary at the top of the same terms adds California. The help centre's list of coins-only states names New Jersey and Connecticut, with Tennessee and Maine moving over.

No fine or government lawsuit has been reported. Under our rules, three state orders without a fine, two of them not reflected in the terms, put the regulatory record at 42, level with Fliff and a little above Pulsz at 40.

What data does CrownCoins collect?

Apple's label is among the broader ones for a casino app. User content, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics may be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites, and financial information, contact details, user content and usage data are linked to your identity. Add the documents needed for prizes, from ID scans to bank statements, and CrownCoins ends up holding a detailed financial profile of regular players.

The US privacy policy goes further than the label. It uses your data for marketing with "advertising, social media, analytics and marketing partners", has a section on behavioural advertising that covers remarketing and retargeting by outside advertisers, and says plainly: "We may sell or share information that directly identifies you (such as name, phone number, address)." To opt out, you email [email protected]. The policy is version 3.0, but its date reads "14/0/26" on the page.

Security and harm tools

The account-security help page is a list of password tips, and the page on hacked accounts tells you to contact support and says losses from "a security breach on your personal device" are your problem. We found no two-step log-in, no bug bounty and no reported breach.

Harm tools are better than at Pulsz but still run through support. A purchase limit (daily, weekly or monthly) is requested as a ticket under Responsible Gaming, and raising or removing it takes a 48-hour wait. A cooldown of up to 90 days blocks purchases and play and cannot be shortened. Closing the account keeps it locked for at least 90 days. The App Store text also promises a "personal host" for invite-only VIP tiers, so the biggest spenders get the most personal attention.

How to use CrownCoins more safely

1. Check whether sweepstakes play is still offered in your state; the list of coins-only states keeps growing.
2. Set a purchase limit through the support menu before your first purchase. It takes 48 hours to undo, which is the point.
3. Log in at least every 60 days if you hold Sweeps Coins, or redeem them first.
4. Choose "Ask App Not to Track" on iPhone, and use a unique password, since there is no second log-in factor.

How we scored it

Privacy (30) is the weakest factor: four kinds of data used for tracking, financial documents for prizes, and a policy that allows the sale of your name and address. Scams and harmful content (38) reflects cash-prize casino play from 18 with VIP hosting. Transparency and control (38) suffers from ticket-based limits, forced arbitration and terms that contradict themselves. Security (45) is the strongest score, with no breach found but no two-step log-in; the regulatory record (42) reflects three state orders and no fine.
