Gold Coins vs. Spree Coins: What They Are and How to Use Them
You may have noticed that we use two different types of coins here at Spree: Gold Coins and Spree Coins. But what are they? How do I use them? And is there a difference? These are questions that you may be asking, especially if Spree is your first experience of a social casino. The good news is that we can tell you exactly what both of them do, what makes them different, and how to play with them.
In short, both Gold Coins and Spree Coins are virtual coins that can be used to play any game in our online social casino, including slots, classic table games, and even live games. The key difference between the two is that Gold Coins are for entertainment only, while Spree Coins can be redeemed for prizes.
If you’re wondering how to get started and actually get these coins into your account, it couldn’t be easier. New players will receive a bundle of coins for free as soon as they sign up, with no purchase necessary.
Gold Coins
Let’s start with Gold Coins. These are non-redeemable coins designed purely for entertainment. You can use them to play all our social casino games for fun, as well as explore a range of features on the site, like GC tourneys, GC jackpots, and SpreePotz.
They are absolutely ideal if you want to try new games, learn how different games work, or simply play for entertainment.
You can get Gold Coins in a number of different ways. We’ll go into more detail on this later on.
Spree Coins
Spree Coins, also known as Sweepstake Coins, differ from Gold Coins as they are redeemable. You can use them to claim prizes and rewards in the Redeem tab. If you collect enough, you’ll be able to redeem them for real-life rewards, including cash prizes and gift cards from a wide range of brands, such as eBay, PlayStation, and DoorDash.
The minimum redemption amount is 100 for a cash prize and 10 for a gift card. Cash prizes will be transferred directly to your bank account, and gift cards will be sent to your email.
Spree Coins can not be purchased individually, but they can be obtained as part of Gold Coin packages. They can also be obtained through other non-purchase methods, such as promotions, social media, daily log-in rewards, and more.

How to Use Gold and Spree Coins
Now to the fun part, playing with your Gold Coins (GC) and Spree Coins (SC). The good news is that it couldn’t be simpler. To make it even easier for you, let’s break down exactly what you’ll see and how it all works.
1. Play with Gold Coins or Enter Sweepstakes
Once you open a game, you’ll be greeted with two options: ‘Play with Gold Coins’ and ‘Enter Sweepstakes’. Choosing the first lets you play with Gold Coins, while the Sweepstakes option uses your Spree Coins.
One thing to note is that the two coins are completely separate, and there’s no conversion between them.
2. Select Your Coin Size
Now that you’re in the game and you’ve selected your preferred coin type, it’s time to set your spin amount and play. Each game has minimum and maximum play amounts, which you can view when adjusting your spin size. Choose an amount you’re comfortable with, and start spinning when you’re ready.
How to Get More Gold and Spree Coins
As promised, the next thing we will cover is how you can get more Gold Coins and Spree Coins. You might run out of coins at some point, so this bit is important. The key thing to note is that you’ll always be able to get more.
Claim Free Daily Coins
The easiest way to get more coins is to log into your Spree account every day. We offer daily log-in rewards with multipliers for log-in streaks. So the more you log in, the more coins you can get.
If you’re not planning on playing, it’s still worth logging in and claiming what you can, so when you do go to play, you’ll have more coins to play with.
Participate in Tournaments
Participating in tournaments is a great way to earn more coins while having fun. If you navigate to the ‘Specials’ tab in the menu, you can see all ongoing tournaments.
Tournaments add a new element to the games, the element of competitiveness. Typically, when playing slots, you’re not playing against anyone, but this way, you’re competing against others while climbing a leaderboard.
Refer Friends
We offer a referral system that will reward you with coins for getting your friends to join Spree. You can get your very own magic link and share it with as many friends as you like. If a friend purchases $50 in packages, you’ll get 25 Spree Coins, and if they purchase $1,000 worth, you’ll get another 75 SC on top.
Follow Spree on Social Media
We also offer exclusive coin giveaways and extra ways to get coins on our social media channels. So make sure you are following so you don’t miss a beat. This includes Facebook, Instagram, and X.
Purchase Gold Coins
If you fancy playing more games but have run out of coins, you have the option to buy Gold Coin packages. There are specific ‘starter pack’ options as well as other bundles depending on how much you plan to play. Some Gold Coin packages also include complimentary Spree Coins.
Our most popular starter pack includes 40,000 Gold Coins, plus 40 free Spree Coins and 40 Gift Spins. This is a great place to start at just $15.99.
There’s also our standard welcome pack, which includes 30,000 Gold Coins and 30 free Spree Coins for $9.99, as well as our best-value pack, which includes 60,000 Gold Coins, plus 60 free Spree Coins and a Wheel Mini Game for $29.99.
The only thing to keep in mind is that you can only pick one of these starter packs, so choose wisely.
Check the Game Lobby
We are constantly adding new ways to get both Gold Coins and Spree Coins, and these will always be findable in the slots lobby along with 2,700+ game titles. You’ll also be able to see some of the latest promos and tourneys in the Specials Tab in the menu and in the shop.
