Global Poker has quietly changed how players can request free Sweeps Coins (SC) through its no-purchase entry. Instead of physically mailing a postcard, players now complete the entire entry online by handwriting a short message on a 4″ x 6″ card, photographing it, and uploading the image inside the site/app.
The on-screen flow walks you through the template, shows your unique entry text, and then asks you to submit a clear photo. For frequent sweeps players, this means a faster, cheaper method to get promotional SC—no stamps, no envelopes, and no trips to the mailbox.
What Changed and Why It Matters
Global Poker previously used a traditional mail-in AMOE (alternate method of entry), where customers wrote a card and sent it through the postal service. The new process keeps the handwritten step, but moves everything else to a guided online submission:
- You prepare a blank, unlined 4″ x 6″ card or plain white paper.
- You write with a black or blue pen and copy the exact entry text shown on your screen.
- You then take a well-lit photo of the finished card and upload it to complete the request.
For players, the benefits are straightforward: faster turnaround, no postage costs, and less risk of letters being lost or delayed. It also lowers the barrier for new users who want to try sweepstakes play without purchasing Gold Coins. From a compliance angle, the site still collects a handwritten statement, which helps preserve the spirit of a “mail-in” entry while making it digital.
The interface shows the precise wording to copy—often including game titles, a numeric code, and the brand’s promotional language—and reminds you to match it word for word. If your photo is blurry, cropped, or missing pieces of the text, the request could be rejected.
Submitting a clean, readable image is now as important as addressing a postcard correctly used to be.
How to Complete the New Online Entry
Follow these simple steps to submit a valid free SC request:
- Gather supplies: Use a blank, unlined 4″ x 6″ index card (or plain white paper). Choose a black or blue pen.
- Open the template: Inside Global Poker, rotate your phone if prompted and reveal the entry template. Some screens include a scratch-to-reveal style box that shows your unique text.
- Copy exactly: Write the provided message on one side of your card. Keep the same order, spelling, and punctuation. Don’t add extra notes or marks.
- Photograph the card: In good lighting, take a straight, uncropped photo. Make sure the entire card and all text are visible and legible.
- Upload and confirm: Allow camera access if asked, then upload the image and tap Next to submit. Save any confirmation shown on screen.
A few practical tips:
- Keep extra index cards handy so you can redo the entry if you make a mistake.
- Write in print, not cursive, to maximize readability.
- Watch for any daily or per-account limits on how many requests you can submit.
- Expect normal identity and age checks; entries are for eligible U.S. residents only, per sweepstakes rules.
- Remember that SC are used for sweepstakes play and can be redeemed if you win, while Gold Coins are for entertainment and have no cash value.
What This Means for Sweepstakes Players
Moving to a fully online, handwritten upload is a notable trend among sweepstakes casinos. It balances accessibility for consumers with the operator’s need to prevent automation, spam, or duplicate submissions.
For players, the result is a smoother, free entry path that still requires a bit of effort—you must handwrite, photograph, and verify your card.
If you rely on AMOE to try Global Poker, this update is good news: you can request SC in minutes, without waiting days for the mail. Just take care with the instructions, keep your handwriting clear, and ensure your photo matches what the template shows.
Done right, you’ll get your request in quickly and can return to playing sooner.
