Fortune Coins is a sweepstakes casino operated by DoubleDown Interactive, available in most US states. New players receive 360,000 Fortune Coins (FC, free play currency) and 360 Sweepstakes Coins (SC, redeemable for real prizes) on sign-up — a large opening package by sweepstakes standards. Fortune Coins uses the standard dual-currency model where SC can be redeemed at approximately $1 per SC with no purchase required to participate in prize play.
Is Fortune Coins Legit?
Yes. Fortune Coins is operated by DoubleDown Interactive, a subsidiary of DoubleU Games (a publicly-listed Korean mobile gaming company). The backing of an established publicly-traded gaming company provides more corporate transparency than many sweepstakes operators. Fortune Coins processes SC redemptions and has a growing US player base.
Sign-Up Bonus
Fortune Coins offers 360 SC and 360,000 FC free on sign-up. The 360 SC welcome bonus is one of the largest initial SC grants among sweepstakes casinos — significantly more than Chumba (2 SC), Pulsz (2.3 SC), or WOW Vegas (1 SC). McLuck's 7.5 SC is lower.
Note: the 360 SC sign-up offer may include playthrough requirements before redemption — check the current T&Cs on the Fortune Coins website, as welcome SC terms can change.
Additional free coins:
- Daily login bonus (FC and SC)
- Postal request (free SC without purchase)
- Social media giveaways
- Email promotions
Game Library
Fortune Coins offers 500+ games, primarily slots. The library draws on DoubleDown's casino game portfolio:
- Slots — main focus, including DoubleDown's proprietary branded slots and some licensed casino-style titles
- Table games — blackjack, video poker, roulette variants
- Jackpot games — progressive jackpot slots with linked SC prize pools
The game library is smaller than WOW Vegas (1,000+) or McLuck (900+), but the DoubleDown-developed games have a polished presentation from a company with extensive mobile gaming experience.
