LuckyLand Slots and Chumba Casino will end Sweeps Coins play for users in West Virginia beginning November 11, 2025. Company notices sent to players outline a short, three-step wind-down: first the phase-out starts November 11, then Sweeps Coin games shut off November 18, and final redemptions stop November 25.
We have not seen confirmation that Global Poker will also exit, but it appears likely because all three brands are run by the same parent company.
What’s Changing and When?
Both sweeps casinos say they will begin phasing out Promotional Play in the state on November 11, 2025. On that date, players will no longer be able to collect free Sweeps Coins or generate postal request codes. A week later, on November 18, Sweeps Coin games will be disabled for West Virginia accounts.
Finally, on November 25, the companies say redemption requests will no longer be accepted. After that, only Standard Play with Gold Coins will remain available. Players who still have Sweeps Coins should plan ahead to avoid missing the deadline.
Why Is This Happening—and What About Global Poker?
Chumba and LuckyLand Slots are owned by Virtual Gaming Worlds (VGW), a company that operates multiple social casino brands across the U.S. The notices do not give a detailed reason, but the changes apply only to Promotional Play (the system that uses Sweeps Coins) in West Virginia.
Companies sometimes adjust products to match state rules or business needs. Keeping the message simple: Sweeps Coin play is going away, while Gold Coins play remains.
As for Global Poker, we have not seen a formal statement confirming a West Virginia exit. However, it is very probable because Global Poker also uses Sweeps Coins and is operated by the same VGW group.
Until the company issues a clear update, West Virginia poker players should monitor their accounts and official messages for confirmation.
What West Virginia Players Should Do
- Mark the dates: Set reminders for November 11, November 18, and November 25 so you know when each change takes effect.
- Redeem on time: If you have a Sweeps Coins balance, submit any redemption requests well before November 25 to avoid a last-minute rush.
- Expect game changes: Sweeps Coin games will shut off November 18. After that, you can still play in Standard Play with Gold Coins, but you won’t be able to redeem.
- Keep records: Save relevant screenshots, emails, or account history in case you need to follow up with support later.
- Ask for help: If you have questions about your account, contact support@chumbacasino.com or support@luckylandslots.com and include your username and details.
