Sweepstakes Casino Guide for New Players: Splash Coins’ October, Week by Week

Timing is everything at Splash Coins this October.

The sweepstakes casino’s Halloween promotions for new players don’t kick in until Monday, Oct. 5, according to the operator’s October promotions. From there, it’s a four-week run of weekly events, a boosted first-purchase offer and a Coinback bonus that comes and goes.

That means new players who sign up on the right day get more out of the promotions than those who arrive a few days early.

Why new players should wait for Oct. 5

The sign-up bonus is simple: 2.5 free Sweeps Coins and 250,000 Gold Coins for creating an account, as detailed in PlayUSA’s Splash Coins review. No purchase required.

The first purchase is where the calendar matters. From Oct. 5 through the end of the month, the Halloween Haunt first-purchase deal offers a $4.99 package with 437,500 GC and 17.5 free SC. Splash Coins advertises this as 250% more coins than its standard first package.

If you’re considering that first package, wait until Oct. 5.

Do the math before buying, too. Of the 20 SC a new player can collect through the sign-up bonus and first purchase, 17.5 come from the purchase. That’s 87.5% of the Sweeps Coins for $4.99, or roughly 3.5 SC per dollar.

Sweeps Coins can be redeemed for cash prizes. Gold Coins are for play only and have no cash value. Read the full terms and conditions before making a purchase. Playthrough rules and redemption minimums help determine the actual value of an offer.

A new player’s October at Splash Coins, week by week

Every promotional week runs Monday to Sunday, starting Oct. 5, and two weekly events reset with it.

The Halloween Tournament has a weekly prize pool of 1,000 free SC and 1,000,000 GC. Everyone qualifies, with no purchase or play requirement, and points come from shopping or spinning in any game. Prizes are awarded according to final leaderboard rankings.

Spellbound Treasures, a new weekly quest, sends players down a path that resets each Monday. Complete gameplay quests to advance, with SC and GC rewards at each milestone and a grand prize at the end.

Here’s how the month lays out:

• Week 1, Oct. 5-11: The Halloween Haunt first-purchase deal goes live, and the first weekly tournament and Spellbound Treasures path open.
• Week 2, Oct. 12-18: A new tournament leaderboard and quest path begin.
• Week 3, Oct. 19-25: Another tournament leaderboard and quest path begin.
• Week 4, Oct. 26-Nov. 1: The final full promotional week begins, with Halloween Haunt package deals ending Saturday, Oct. 31.

A new account opened in the first week has four shots to participate in each weekly event. An account opened in the final week has just one.

When to watch for Splash Coins Coinback bonus

The SC Coinback bonus doesn’t follow the weekly calendar.

Splash Coins said it will go live several times during October, lasting one to three days per window. Purchase a designated Coinback package during one of those windows, and a percentage of your net SC losses will be returned to your balance.

For new players, this is an offer to watch for after getting familiar with the site. Keep an eye out for each promotional window, and check the terms to see what percentage will be returned.

What else is new at Splash Coins in October

Splash Coins said Halloween Haunt also brings extra coins on packages beyond the first purchase, plus free spins on Halloween-themed slots with select deals.

The October game lineup adds titles from BGaming, Relax Gaming and Slotmill. New games include 3 Aztec Spells from Spinomenal, Primal Buffalo PowerGrid from Booming Games and Hotfire Chilli 2048 from 3Oaks Gaming.

Who can join Splash Coins

Players must be at least 18 years old, or 21 or older in Ohio.

According to its terms, Splash Coins prohibits players from Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and Washington. Iowa also banned dual-currency sweepstakes casinos this year, while Oklahoma’s ban takes effect Nov. 1.

No purchase is necessary to play or to collect Sweeps Coins. Splash Coins offers a free mail-in request method as an alternative to buying a package, awarding 2 SC per handwritten request card.

Sweepstakes casinos change promotions throughout an offer period. This article reflects the offers Splash Coins has published as of publication.

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year. Splash Coins’ new-player promotions begin on a Monday.
