The Clubs Poker Championship Series is the inaugural online series by Clubs Poker, running from November 9 to November 29, 2025.
This event features 66 Sweeps Coins (SC) tournaments spanning seven poker variants, with a total guaranteed prize pool of 140,000 SC, where each SC is redeemable for $1.
Sweeps Coins form the basis of the legal sweepstakes casino model in many U.S. states by providing a currency that can be acquired without direct purchase and redeemed for real prizes after fulfilling wagering requirements.
The inaugural online series from Clubs Poker comes on the heels of its weeklong celebration of the timeless game of Stud poker. And the triumphant return of the Bounty Brawl.
Structure of the Clubs Poker Championship Series
The series runs for 22 days and is Clubs Poker's largest event to date, aiming to attract a broad spectrum of players from casual enthusiasts to experienced grinders.
- There are 66 tournaments scheduled, offering a variety of poker formats and buy-in levels.
- Buy-ins start at just 0.55 SC and cap at 33 SC, with the average entry around 17.5 SC, making the series accessible to most players.
- In addition to Sweeps Coins events, a parallel Gold Coins series will run for those playing for fun (play money).
The series features a 10,000 SC leaderboard, offering extra prizes for the most consistent performers over the duration.
How Sweeps Coins Work
Sweeps Coins (SC) are a special virtual currency used at sweepstakes casinos in the U.S. that can be redeemed for real cash prizes or gift cards.
This system allows social casino-style gaming combined with a path to real monetary rewards, which is not available with standard play-for-fun gold coins.
Unlike Gold Coins (GC), which are play-for-fun tokens with no monetary value, SC allow players to participate in legal sweepstakes games and potentially win rewards that have real-world value.
- Players acquire Sweeps Coins through special promotions, welcome bonuses, daily login rewards, or by buying Gold Coins packages (which often include SC as a bonus).
- SC can only be obtained for free or through bundled purchases; they are not sold directly to comply with sweepstakes laws, which remove the element of consideration to be legal.
- Players use SC to play various casino-style games like slots, poker, blackjack, and roulette.
Winning SC increases a player's SC balance, which can later be redeemed for prizes.
Redeeming Value of Sweeps Coins
Prize pools collectively guarantee at least 140,000 SC distributed across all events.
- 1 Sweeps Coin is generally equivalent to $1 USD in cash or gift card value.
- To redeem SC, players typically must meet wagering or playthrough requirements (e.g., spending SC a certain number of times in games before withdrawal is allowed).
- Sweepstakes casinos also set minimum redemption thresholds (often between 10 to 50 SC for gift cards and up to 75-100 SC for cash withdrawals).
Redemption options usually include bank transfers, PayPal, cryptocurrencies, or digital gift cards. Redemption processing times vary by site, ranging from minutes to several days.
