This is one of the easiest yet highest earning income streams I've had, and you can get started for 0$ and as little as 30 minutes per day!
Just a couple of things upfront and then we will be on our way:
This hustle involves a type of gambling. Although it can be done completely free and in a way that will be profitable long-term, you can use real money to grow it. So, if you have had or could have any problems with gambling please do not proceed and check out the other great income guides on the site instead!
Unfortunately this only US-based and some states have already outlawed it, including:
Washington
Idaho
Montana
Michigan
Connecticut
Delaware
More to come
Something else that may concern some is this deals with money and is based in the US, the law requires companies to conduct KYC screenings with their customers. This means sharing your personal data including:Â
Your full legal name
Date of birth/age (must be 18 or 21)
Phone number
Address (as listed on your ID)
ID
SSN
Unfortunately this is just the reality when making money online, but it's not too different from submitting a W-4 when working a job offline anyway. So in that regard I can manage it. That said there are a few things I do to make it feel a little less intrusive that I'll get into later.
These steps are optional but help keep you organized, protect you personally and even put some extra money back in your pocket!
Create a free email address that you use only for this. You will be logging into many different websites so if you can create a Gmail it makes sign-in on many of these sites a lot easier
Create a bank account for receiving payments. I like to keep it at separate bank from my personal finances. Also, try to get a statement ASAP - you'll need one to verify on some sites. Check out my list of bank bonus offers to get an extra bonus!
Alternatively (or additionally) you can create a Skrill account. Think of it like PayPal but willing to deal with casinos lol. It's generally easier to pay and withdraw with than banks but I find the Skrill account itself more difficult to deposit and withdraw from as well. If you do go this route be sure to enroll in their loyalty program that will net you an additional 1% back on your spend!
If you want to try the advanced method, sign-up for a high-reward credit card. Check out my recommendations here! You'll be spending lots so this will earn you even more.
If you don't already have a cryptocurrency wallet and/or platform to purchase crypto on go ahead and open one and link a payment source. Some sites transact in crypto only. It's a pain IMO due to the extra fees and double checking addresses but these sites typically make it worth it. Open an account on Coinbase and get $30 after transacting $20 or more!
Something I did to make me feel more comfortable with sharing my data was changing my ID address to one that isn't my primary residence (I'd recommend doing this for anything you give your address to online). You can get a street address online to use here. You will also want to put this address on your bank and card.
We will be collecting bonuses from sweepstakes casinos that individually aren't worth much, but as you collect daily from multiple casinos, will quickly snowball into ~$30/day! If you'd like to learn more about sweepstakes casinos I'll break them down at the end of the article. Otherwise, let's break this down into simple steps so you can get started today for free!
Sign up for each website listed below for free. Each will reward it's own welcome offer to you to help you get kick-started!
Familiarize yourself with each website and locate the daily bonuses of each. There will be 2 currencies offered, typically called Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC). GC are worthless, however SC can be redeemed for cash or gift cards after being wagered in a game (typically only once) Find where the daily bonuses are located on each site - they could be a wheel or just a button (I'll try to keep the list updated on where to find them on each site).
Verify your accounts. While a bit tedious, you only have to do it once, and trust me, it's better to get it out of the way before you collect a bunch of SC and get stuck when you try to redeem and you run into verification issues.
Log-In daily and collect your free SC
Once you've reached the casino's minimum redemption amount (typically 50 or 100 SC), wager your coins in a high-RTP (return to player) game. Don't worry I'll list my recommendations later on!
Once all coins have been played-through, redeem them for cash! I recommend cashing out as soon as you hit the minimum. There are several well established casinos with good standing but unfortunately there have been some that seemed good for awhile only to collapse and take unreedemed funds with them.
Depending on how many sites you choose to collect from this will take you ~30 min daily. Still sound like too much work? I got you. Take a peak at this chrome extension that automatically collects the bonuses daily for you! You can even use coupon COMMONS at checkout to snag 50% off! Even though it costs, only a day or 2 of bonuses will cover it and it gives you back that time!
Alright let's continue into some extra ways to earn even more!
Pretty much every casino you sign up for will encourage you to purchase a coin package as soon as you sign up with a welcome offer. Many casinos will also periodically offer discounted coin packages. The idea is to purchase as many of these deals as feasible (with the credit card we signed up for earlier).
I typically only go for packages discounted 15-10% or more. The reason being is we have to play these purchased coins at least once before redeeming. I only play high-RTP (return to player) games (>95%) though odds don't always work that way and variance can still lead to you losing (or winning) more than the odds. Giving myself a >10% cushion to eat those potential losses seems to be about right for me but you can choose your own limits. Also, don't overlook packages with free spins. They aren't guaranteed free SC, but each spin is worth .1 SC or more. Most times they won't tell you the value of each spin so as a conservative calculation, I just assume .1 SC, multiply that by the number of free spins and add that into the package value. (An example would look like: $50: 700k Gold Coins, 50 FREE Sweep Coins, 70 Free Spins - 50 SC + (70 free spins * 0.1 SC spin value) - $50 / $50 = ~14% off) Of course the free spins may not return the expected value but they also can exceed it (and sometimes by a lot!), and most sites count winnings from free spins as played through so you will not have to play them thru again prior to redeeming.
*When wagering your coins try not to get sucked in emotionally into the game outcome. Even if you encounter a losing streak, trust that the RTP math will workout over the long-term. That's why you should keep your bets to the minimum and never chase losses! Consider that even if you happen to take a loss, you still made value in the form of credit card points and VIP earnings (on most sites)*
You will make your most at the beginning because the welcome packages are the best deals you get (and some sites will begin to ban your account from good promos once they realize you're a winning player) however there's still potential to increase earnings through the next method.
One more thing - you can even wait to do this method until you have successfully redeemed enough free SC from the basic method so you can get the ball rolling with house money. It's fastest to do with the high-bonus, low-minimum redemption casinos (Stake, LuckyLand, Zula, FortuneCoins, Sportzino, Yay, etc.) That is exactly what I did when I started.
Most casinos include a VIP/loyalty program that give you extra perks like improved daily bonuses and better coin package deals. I will try to detail which casinos are worth the grind for in the list below but this is a great way to increase your earnings long-term!
Finally, we have the Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) method. This involves simply writing a letter stating you would like some SC. No really, that's all you have to do. Why does this work? Legally, the casinos have to offer it as a way to get around gambling regulations that would otherwise be placed on them. Of course they try to make it difficult for you by requiring letters to be prepared a specific way and taking overly long to process (we're talking months), but it can be done and there's technically no limit to how many you can do. Check out my guide here to learn more!
If you have the spare time to write some letters you can really grow your earnings here!
There's a few things to consider when picking a game. RTP is king though this can also be misleading due to volatility. In a high volatility game you may not see your return until after you've played 100's of bets. Which brings me to bet size. For math's sake you want to bet as small as possible so you not only have the best chance to achieve the RTP but also spend less if you do hit that unlucky streak.
If you are unfamiliar with basic strategy it's fairly easy to pickup. You can find a chart to follow along with on Google. The great thing with this it's the highest yielding game at 99.5% RTP. However, it's manual and with so many hands opens the potential for user error.
This strategy should yield an RTP of 97.4% and what's great is it's difficult to mess up! The downer is it's manual but some casinos do have an auto roulette available.
There's a billion versions of plinko out there so check the game info for RTP before firing away but in my experience it's generally 94-99%. Set risk to low, find the table with the highest floor/highest low multiplier and blast those balls on auto and you'll be done in a couple of minutes! You'll typically find that this and roulette will be the most stable returns / lowest volatility so I recommend sticking to these options if you find yourself getting too affected emotionally.
Epic Joker is the meeting of all the criteria I mentioned above - High RTP (97%), Low volatility, low minimum bet (typically, depends on the casino), and auto mode! This game is just the most consistent and easiest slot for me.
If you can't find any of the games above, these have also worked for me, just not as appealing for one reason or another.
Book of 99 - 99% RTP! but high volatility and requires baby sitting even on auto
The Great Pigsby - almost as good as Epic Joker just feels higher volatility
Joker's Jewels / Joker's Jewels Wild - 95% RTP, mid volatility but pretty fast on auto - no longer available
Mummy's Gold
Fishin' Bear - high volitility that loses until you collect enough fish so I only play when I have enough SC to get to that point in the game
Crash - bet minimum and auto collect 1.01x
if none of these are available poke around, you can usually find RTP and volatility in the game info and you can put your gold coins to use to test a game before using SC. Got to put the GC to use somehow!
I try to continuously update this list as I test new sites. I'll only add casinos to this list that I've personally successfully redeemed from
Daily: daily progression + wheel spin
Play coins through Epic Joker
100 SC minimum redemption
check email for deals
lengthy redemptions, but does pay eventually
Chanced clone
Daily: streak from .1 to .3
Playthrough on The Great Pigsby, Fishin' Bear or Le Zeus
100 SC min redemption
Honestly not the best site because dailies require 10x playthrough and purchases require 3x. Be sure to check games excluded from playthrough under the redemption tab in wallet
Daily: random game located in "Click Arena"
Play coins through The Great Pigsby
100 SC minimum redemption
I'll be honest, not a great site but I'm including since they did pay me out albeit after lots of back and forth with support.
Do take note of games excluded from playthrough here before playing SC for redemption
Sidepot clone
Daily: 1SC (only if your balance is under 6SC)
Play coins through American Roulette (table games are banned from play thru but this flies under the radar as a "slot")
100 SC minimum redemption
Somehow haven't been banned here unlike Sidepot. They have frequent crazy deals. If you aren't seeing any then try dumping any SC you got from dailies then they should pop up, just check daily.
Bitsler is closing down 12/1/25, be sure to redeem any outstanding balances ASAP to ensure you get your requests thru support!
Daily: around .2 SC
Play coins through Epic Joker (blackjack is available but it's their own which I'm skeptical of)
75 SC minimum redemption
Crypto only payments and redemptions
Daily: 0.3 SC to 1 SC with consecutive claims
Play coins through blackjack using basic/optimal strat (99.5% RTP)
50 SC minimum redemption
UPDATE: VIP is a grind but well worth it. Both SC and GC play count towards it so for me if I'm away from my PC I GC run on auto on Luckyland 7's and that should run indefinitely, but if I'm at my PC I'll run my GC in a slot that is in a tournament as these slots require some clicking but will recoup back some of your GC depending on how high you climb in the tourney. (you'll need the extra GC, the higher you climb in rank the harder and longer it takes until the next one).
However, each rank you climb will unlock a $0.99 deal (free SC value increases every rank) and larger packages during quacky hour (occurs a couple days each month, watch your email).
Once you reach yellow duck you may want to run Starspell on burst mode. It's streaky so you can burn through your coins quick but it's the fastest game I know that'll allow you to rank up anymore than yellow within a month.
Be aware your rank completely resets each month but this gives you an opportunity to earn those $0.99 deals again!
Daily: 0.1-1.5 SC with daily progression

This scene is blowing up right now and new casinos are popping up everyday. I'm working hard to test them and only include the ones that actually have paid me.
