Big Shot Games is an upcoming sweepstakes casino that aims to launch across most of the United States in late 2025 or early 2026.
Run by Big Shot Games Interactive LLC, the site will use virtual Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins instead of real-money betting. Early reports suggest a large game lobby, live dealer tables from big-name studios, and a full range of sweeps-style bonuses—but as of now, the casino is not yet live.
When Is Big Shot Games Expected to Launch?
According to several reports, Big Shot Games has an expected launch window in 2025, with the latest estimates pointing to sometime in late 2025 or early 2026. The platform is still in development, and there is no confirmed go-live date on the staging website.
For now, players cannot yet create accounts or play games. All details should be treated as early information until the casino officially opens.
Where Will Big Shot Games Be Available?
Big Shot Games is being built as a nationwide social sweepstakes platform for US players. Current information suggests it will be open in most states for users who are 18 or older, following standard sweeps casino rules.
However, several states are expected to be restricted, including Connecticut, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, and Washington. These states usually block sweeps-style play or have stricter rules. The list of allowed and blocked states may still change by the time the casino goes live.
How the Big Shot Games Sweepstakes Model Works
Like other US sweeps casinos, Big Shot Games will not use standard real-money deposits. Instead, players will get two virtual currencies: Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC). Gold Coins are mainly for fun play and cannot be redeemed for cash.
Sweeps Coins can be used to play special games where any winnings can later be redeemed as prizes, often including cash or gift cards, once the player meets all terms.
No purchase will be required to join the site. Players will likely be able to earn free coins through sign-up offers, mail-in entries (AMOE), daily login bonuses, and promotions.
A 1x playthrough on Sweeps Coins before redemption is expected, which matches the standard at many other sweepstakes casinos.
Currencies, Purchases, and Payment Methods
All early reports agree that the main currencies at Big Shot Games will be Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins. Optional purchases will allow players to buy GC bundles that also include bonus SC.
One leaked pricing grid shows packages starting at around $9.99 for 10,000 Gold Coins and 10 Sweeps Coins, going all the way up to roughly $999.99 for 1,500,000 Gold Coins and 1,000 Sweeps Coins. These numbers may change before launch, but they give a sense of the planned pricing.
The full list of payment methods is still pending, but rumors suggest a broad mix of options. Expect major cards like Visa and Mastercard, traditional bank transfer, and likely Apple Pay, Google Pay, and some form of cryptocurrency support.
All of this remains “expected” rather than fully confirmed, but if it holds, Big Shot Games would launch with a stronger banking lineup than many new sweeps sites.
Expected Big Shot Games Bonuses and Promos
The welcome bonus at Big Shot Games is still listed as “pending,” but multiple reports outline what players might see. Early information points to:
- A sign-up or welcome bonus granted when you register.
- Several first purchase deals that boost your Gold Coin bundles with extra GC and SC.
- A daily login bonus, rumored to build up to around 2 Sweeps Coins over a three-day streak.
- An AMOE bonus (Alternative Method of Entry) worth roughly 3–5 free Sweeps Coins.
- A referral bonus that rewards both Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins when your friends sign up and qualify.
Some sites also mention a tiered loyalty program with multiple levels, better rates on coin purchases, and regular social media contests.
Extra promos like tournaments and game challenges are being talked about, but those are still firmly in the rumor category until Big Shot Games officially confirms them.
Games and Software Providers
One of the biggest selling points for Big Shot Games is its expected list of software providers. Early reports confirm partnerships with Evolution, Relax Gaming, Evoplay, Betsoft, BGaming, and Playson, with talk of the casino eventually working with more than 40 different studios.
Some also reference providers like Ruby Play, though not every name is guaranteed at launch.
Slots are set to make up most of the catalog, with hundreds or even thousands of online slots planned, including jackpot titles. Because Evolution is on board, players can almost certainly expect a full live casino section with live dealer blackjack, roulette, game shows, and more.
There is also mention of table games and fish table games, which would help Big Shot Games compete with long-running sweeps brands.
Safety, Verification, and Customer Support
Big Shot Games is being built to follow US sweepstakes laws, which means strong compliance and identity checks. Before redeeming Sweeps Coin winnings for prizes, players will need to complete KYC verification by submitting ID and proof of address. Reports also mention TLS encryption (either 128-bit or 256-bit) and strict geoblocking to keep out restricted states.
For help, Big Shot Games is expected to offer 24/7 customer support through live chat, email, and an on-site contact form. Responsible gaming tools—such as spending controls or self-exclusion options—are also planned for launch. The full set of tools will only be confirmed once the site is live, but early signs point toward a modern, secure setup.
What We Still Don’t Know
Some key details about Big Shot Games remain uncertain. The exact welcome bonus amount, final coin bundle pricing, full game list, and confirmed payment methods could all change before launch.
Mobile apps are reportedly “in development,” but it’s not yet clear if Android and iOS apps will be live on day one or if players will start with a mobile-responsive website only.
Until Big Shot Games actually opens its virtual doors, players should treat every detail as subject to change. Still, the combination of big-name providers, flexible virtual currencies, and a busy promo schedule has made this one of the most closely watched new sweepstakes casinos in the US.
